Air hoist in Quebec; Why choose a KITO compressed air hoist?

What is an air hoist?

An air hoist, also called a pneumatic hoist , is a lifting device that uses compressed air instead of electricity to lift loads. It is particularly useful in environments where electricity is a risk or difficult to access.
