Ingersoll Rand are one of the longest established names in the international construction and engineering industry, and this dominance over more than a century has been entirely due to the quality and reliability of the product range they offer, and the speed of innovation that the company has pursued in order to ensure that they are always ahead of the competition when it comes to offering high quality equipment at a good value price. One of the core products offered by the company is the BU7A Air Tugger, which is an air winch that has become the industry standard after more than 50 years of service.
Although the design of the BU7A Air Tugger is one of the most established on the market, a great deal of development resource has been applied to the units in order to ensure that they remain at the cutting edge of the market, and provide users with an ever improving piece of equipment that is as reliable and powerful as possible.
The key feature of the BU7A Air Tugger since its original introduction has been the completely enclosed design of the motor. This means that all dirt and moisture is kept out of the system, and the piston is able to operate as cleanly as possible. The grease and oil is protected from contamination, and this ensures smooth operation.
One of the ways in which the precise control levels of the BU7A Air Tugger have been achieved is through the design of the radial piston air powered motor. This provides positive starting, which means that there is no jerkiness to the operation, and thanks to the use of high quality roller bearings at either end of the axle of the motor, the Ingersoll Rand BU7A Air winch is able to offer a particularly smooth delivery of power and better reliability due to the reduced vibration of the system.
One of the main innovations that have contributed to the success of the design of the BU7A Air Tugger was the inclusion of a self closing throttle. This shuts off automatically when released, and allows for great control over lifting, and lets you spot a load accurately.
All aspects of the design of the BU7A Air Tugger have been created with efficiency and ease of operation in mind. There are innovations such as the clutch, which when disengaged allows the load to be moved freely to allow hand unwinding and lowering of a load. The motor that has been used in the construction of the BU7A Air Tugger is reversible, which means that you will be able to enjoy the same levels of control when you are lowering a load as you can when you are using the winch to lift items.
Compared to other models on the market, the overall performance of the BU7A Air Tugger is very impressive, meaning that you will be able to use it for a wide range of different tasks, and gain a tool that you can really rely on, should you choose to invest in this useful piece of equipment.
At a standard air inlet pressure of 90 PSI (6.3 bar), the BU7A Air Tugger is able to lift a load of 1000 lb at up to 43 feet per minute. The Motor operates at a level of 1.6hp, offering you plenty of power when you need it, and the capacity to handle most ordinary tasks. Air consumption is a relatively economical 50CFM, which means that the unit is compatible with most standard compressors, and can be used in conjunction with other air powered tools.
As with the other models in the Ingersoll Rand range of air winches, the BU7A Air Tugger offers a number of options to allow it to be customized exactly to the requirements of whatever application that you are planning to use it for. You can add remote controls, cages, and even specify a different finish if you are planning to use the winch in a difficult environment where it could become damaged due to contact with chemicals or moisture.
