Rescue Hoist Model 44311

Externally mounted, AC electrically powered rescue hoist Model 44311 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.
