Externally mounted, 28VDC electrically powered rescue hoist Model 44301 uses the Collins Aerospace proprietary translating drum cable management system. The hoist design also incorporates a Weston style load brake and overload slip clutch for added safety. Cable lubrication extends cable life and helps arrest corrosion.

Features & benefits

rescue hoist 44301

  • EC135, EC145 and BK117 feature an electric boom for easy deployment and recovery of a stretcher (both left and right side installations available)
  • Single point payout reduces potential for hoist-induced load swings
  • Continuous operational duty cycles allow for multiple victim rescues without a cool down period
  • Worldwide field engineering services available

Design features

  • Hour meter or event counter logs total time
  • Emergency cable cut
  • Redundant limit and decel switches
  • Night vision compatible controls
  • Cable length display on operator’s pendant
  • Intercom switch on pendant
