WHAT’S NEW CHECKMATE’S FEATURE-PACKED FALL PROTECTION RANGE LIFTS THE LEEA INNOVATION AWARD FOR 2014
Checkmate has emerged as the winner of the LEEA Innovation Award for Best Product at LiftEx 2014, the annual trade exhibition for the overhead lifting industry that was co-located at the Safety and Health Expo, ExCel London, June 17th-19th. The company’s Vantage VI harness and Checkfall Lanyard ranges, which incorporate a host of novel features that improve fall protection and product durability, secured the top prize for UK-based Checkmate, which specializes in height safety and textile lifting.
New features of the Checkmate products that impressed the judges include ‘wear indicating’ webbing, refl ective yarns that are woven into the fi bre of the material, fall indicator deployment systems, retractable fl exible label covers, Tefl on-coated webbing and trapezoidal links.
Announcing the winner, Geoff Holden, chief executive for LEEA, said: “The innovations demonstrated by Checkmate are genuinely new ideas that help users and inspectors identify when products should be removed from service, and also increase their working life.”
Oliver Auston, managing director of Checkmate, commented: “With Vantage VI a barrage of new ideas from our entire design team integrated seamlessly into brilliant new products. We are lucky to have such talented individuals with fresh ideas and the appetite to push
the boundaries of technology with each product release.”

WHAT’S NEWHARRINGTON HOISTS, INC. RELEASES AL SERIES (EX) CERTIFIED SPARK RESISTANT AND LUBE-FREE AIR HOISTS
Harrington Hoists, Inc. has introduced their new AL Series air hoists, which are certifi ed spark resistant to the EU ATEX Directive, which is a stringent European safety standard for spark resistant compliance in industrial hoists.
The AL series hoists are designed to be used in explosive atmospheres that require features that reduce the risk of spark to ATEX level (Ex) II 2GD c T5 IIB T100°. These hoists are also suitable for applications where a clean environment is a necessity, because they can operate completely dry—leaving no lubrication in the exhaust air, which is a requirement in certain food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
AL Series hoists can also operate with oil, if the application permits, for longer vane life.
AL series hoists are lightweight and compact—available in ¼ through 5-Ton capacities with either pendant, cord, or twist rod control for precise load control. Standard features include a patented heavy-duty disc brake, reliable vane motor for smooth operation, and controlled travel. The hardened steel load chain and the hook and latch system are plated and blue-chromated for corrosion resistance and extended wear. y
