HYTILE Cable Hoists – Folding and Rapid Return
The light, easy-to-use, electric Cable Hoist can be operated by one man or a gang. It can lift up to 15 tiles per load, is powered by a 3/4H.P. electric motor, and has a 12 volt control system.
The Cable Hoist is available in a choice of either regular speed operation, or the very popular Rapid-Return.
It comes in four standard lengths:
- 1 section Cable Hoist - 16ft (4.8mtrs) total length
- 2 section Cable Hoist - 28ft (8.5mtrs) total length - (folds at 16ft)
- 3 section Cable Hoist - 40ft (12.2mtrs) total length
- 4 section Cable Hoist - 52ft (15.8mtrs) total length
Tiles are placed on the trolley at the base of the unit. When the start button is pressed the trolley takes the tiles to the upper end of the machine where they are automatically lifted from the trolley and held while the trolley returns to the base unit. The trolley can be stopped at any point.
Until the tiles are removed from the lifting arms at the top of the machine, no further tiles can be transported to the top, thus allowing the tiler to work at the speed of his choice.
A two section Cable Hoist consists of a four foot long base unit weighing 90kg (198 Ibs), plus a twelve foot middle section 15kgs (331bs), and a 12ft top section with an Adjustable Bend 28kg (61 lbs).

Each Cable Hoist can be lengthened with the addition of extra 6ft or 12ft sections.
A hand-rail around the base of the Cable Hoist makes unloading your hoist from your trailer or truck much easier.
Assembly time on site is approximately 5 minutes for one man.
RAPID-RETURN With the use of inverter technology we have developed a Cable Hoist that can speed up the loading process by delivering the trolley back to the base at over two times the speed it went up at. This function can be turned off when using your hoist for strip and re-tile.
FOLDING OR BOLT-TOGETHER? When using your Cable Hoist as a 2 section machine you have the choice of having the sections either Fold or Bolt-together. Using your hoist as a folding machine makes it very quick and easy to set-up – just unfold, ensure the wire rope is around the pulleys, and away you go!
LOADING RATE The number of tiles delivered to the roof by a standard 28ft Cable Hoist varies between 1080 per hour (6 tiles per lift) and 2160 per hour (12 tiles per lift).
The same length Rapid Return Cable Hoist can deliver up to 2800 tiles per hour.
STRIPPING A ROOF This unit can be used with equal ease to remove old tiles from the roof.
FINANCE AVAILABLE For as little as the cost of a slab and a half of beer each week, you can take possession of a new Cable Hoist.
