Description

The Yale UNOplus Series A Ratchet Lever Hoist Arctic Edition is a cold-climate optimized version of the proven UNOplus-A ratchet lever hoist.

Designed for extreme environments down to –40°C, this model is ideal for Arctic regions, outdoor winter operations, offshore platforms, cold-storage facilities, mining, and any location where normal hoists fail due to low temperatures.

Based on the lightweight, compact, and durable UNOplus-A design, the Arctic Edition incorporates special materials and lubricants tested through static and dynamic low-temperature procedures, ensuring flawless function, safety, and reliability even in deep-freeze conditions.

Available Capacities (UNOplus-A Base Range)

(Arctic Edition uses the same capacity structure unless otherwise specified by CMCO)

  • 750 kg
  • 1500 kg
  • 3000 kg

Why You Should Buy

The Yale UNOplus Series A Ratchet Lever Hoist Arctic Edition is engineered specifically for operators who must work in extreme-cold environments where standard hoists are unsafe or non-functional. Its –40°C certification ensures every component—from brake system to load chain—performs reliably in sub-zero conditions. With its lightweight, compact frame, free-chaining system, and ergonomic operation, it is the ideal tool for riggers, maintenance teams, and field personnel working in harsh cold-weather industries. The Arctic Edition delivers the same trusted Yale durability with added resilience for extreme climates.

Key Features

  • Certified for –40°C Extreme Temperatures: Specially selected steels and low-temperature lubricants allow continuous use in severe cold without loss of performance.
  • Optimized Gearing for Low-Effort Operation: Reduced operating force thanks to improved gearing and bearings (inherits all core UNOplus-A mechanical benefits).
  • Free-Chaining System: Quickly attach loads and pull the chain through easily in both directions—ideal when wearing thick thermal gloves.
  • Robust Steel Construction: Stamped steel housing resists shock, deformation, and corrosion in harsh climates.
  • Corrosion-Protected Brake Components: Automatic screw-and-disc load brake with cold-resistant, corrosion-protected internal parts ensures secure load holding.
  • High-Strength Alloy Load Chain: Zinc-plated or chromated for added corrosion resistance and engineered to withstand Arctic temperature contraction cycles.
  • Forged, High-Tensile Hooks with Safety Latches: Hooks are designed to deform under overload instead of breaking—a critical safety feature in extreme cold.
  • Static & Dynamic Low-Temperature Testing: Every Arctic Edition is verified through industry-leading tests to prevent material brittleness or lubrication failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Arctic Edition different from the standard UNOplus-A?

It uses special steels, seals, and lubricants designed for –40°C operation. It is tested using static and dynamic low-temperature procedures to ensure complete reliability.

Is the free-chaining function still usable in extreme cold?

Yes. The mechanism is designed to operate smoothly even when users wear gloves in freezing environments.

Does the hoist require extra maintenance in Arctic climates?

Maintenance intervals are similar to standard models, but visual inspections for ice buildup and lubrication checks are recommended due to cold-weather conditions.
