Which Valve Does My Hoist Have?
|
Kingston Valve RW0088-A |
Air hydraulic hoists from Northern and Barbee have a Kingston valve which is RW0088-A. Northern electric hydraulic hoists have Greeson or Bucher valves. Greeson valves are no longer available through Northern but can be updated to a Bucher valve using a Bucher Valve kit which is RW0460-BVK and includes the valve. Barbee electric hydraulic hoists have Greeson valves and different microswitches. Barbee needs to be contacted for replacing these valves. |
Which Pivot Plate Does My Hoist Have?
Northern pivot plates (RW0280-28) for 35”, 45” and 55” tables use a ½” bolt. The grease zerk is in the plate.
Northern pivot plates (RW0460-28) for 65” tables use a 5/8” bolt. The grease zerk is in the plate.
Barbee has a different style pivot plate than Northern. They use a ½” bolt on both their small and large hoists. The Barbee grease zerk is in the bolt and not in the plate. We do not offer Barbee pivot plates.
A Northern pivot plate can be used on a Barbee if the entire assembly is changed out. For an RW0260, this is RW0280-29 and RW0280-28. For an RW0460, this is RW0460-29 and RW0460-28.
