Vortek NXT

Highly sought-after standard hoists

One of the unique characteristics of Vortek® Classic hoists is their adaptability to non-standard layouts. Vortek engineers are adept in creating solutions for the unique needs of a new or renovated facility, including projects blending counterweight and motorized rigging on a single stage.

With multiple mounting options, lift line configuration, and lift capacities ranging from 800 lbs (362 kgs) to 2,000 lbs (907 kgs), Vortek Classic hoists are perfect for venues looking for a self-contained and flexible hoist with a fully-mechanical secondary-brake design.
