Manufactured in Germany, JDN hoists are relied on across industries such as mining, oil & gas, shipbuilding and heavy manufacturing. Their unique air-powered design makes them ideal for demanding projects where traditional lifting solutions fall short.
At LGH, we offer JDN air hoists for hire in a wide range of capacities — from smaller units through to 30t models available on the shelf in Australia and up to 100t via our international fleet.
So why should you consider hiring a JDN air hoist for your next project? Here are our top 5 reasons.
Unlike electric hoists, JDN air hoists are powered pneumatically, eliminating the risk of sparks. This makes them ideal for explosive or hazardous areas such as mines, refineries and offshore rigs. With ATEX certification and a failsafe brake system, they deliver peace of mind when safety is non-negotiable.
JDN hoists are designed to work where other equipment struggles — from wet, damp and high-heat environments to aggressive outdoor conditions. With fully sealed motors and all-metal construction, they’re highly resistant to dirt, debris and tough handling on site.
From smaller lifts of just 500kg through to an incredible 100t capacity, JDN air hoists cover a huge range of applications. Here in Australia, LGH has 30t JDN hoists ready to go, with access to our global fleet for larger, specialised projects. Plus, their 100% duty cycle means they won’t overheat, even during continuous, demanding use.
When handling critical lifts, accuracy matters. JDN air hoists are known for smooth, precise load control, allowing operators to position heavy components safely and efficiently. This makes them especially valuable in industries like shipbuilding, heavy manufacturing, and defence projects.
Purchasing heavy-capacity air hoists can be costly and impractical if you only need them occasionally. Hiring through LGH gives you the flexibility to access the right capacity, only when you need it — backed by our expert team, delivery straight to site and access to one of the largest lifting hire fleets in the world.
