FRICTION PLATE 1-1/2 TON

Product Description

The Kito Friction Plate is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for use in Kito L4 Series chain hoists at the 1-1/2 Ton capacity rating. The friction plate is a critical wear component within the hoist's load brake assembly, working in conjunction with the brake mechanism to maintain controlled load holding and smooth lowering performance during hoist operation. Replacing worn or damaged friction plates with genuine Kito parts is essential to restoring the hoist's braking performance to factory specifications and ensuring continued safe and compliant operation.

The load brake friction plate engages during lowering and load holding operations to control the rate of descent and prevent uncontrolled load movement when the hand chain is not being operated. Over time and through repeated use, the friction plate surface wears down, reducing braking effectiveness and potentially leading to load drift or unsafe lowering conditions. Regular inspection of the friction plate as part of a scheduled hoist maintenance and inspection program is strongly recommended, with replacement performed as soon as wear beyond acceptable limits is identified.

Using genuine Kito L4 Series replacement parts ensures correct dimensional fit, material compatibility, and performance consistency with the original hoist components. The friction plate must be installed correctly within the load brake assembly to restore the hoist to its original braking specification. All brake assembly service work should be performed by a qualified hoist technician with familiarity with Kito L4 Series disassembly and reassembly procedures, and the hoist must be inspected and load tested before returning to service following any brake-related maintenance.
