Kito Friction Disc

Product Description

The Kito Friction Disc is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for use in Kito Model M3 chain hoists at the 1 Ton capacity rating. Friction discs are a critical wear component within the hoist's load brake assembly, responsible for maintaining controlled load holding and smooth lowering performance during hoist operation. Replacing worn or damaged friction discs with genuine Kito parts is essential to restoring the hoist's braking performance to factory specifications and ensuring continued safe operation.

The load brake friction disc works in conjunction with the brake pawl and ratchet mechanism to hold suspended loads securely when the hand chain is not being operated. As the friction disc wears over time through normal use, braking performance can degrade, potentially resulting in load drift or uncontrolled lowering. Regular inspection of the friction disc as part of a scheduled hoist maintenance program is recommended, and replacement should be performed promptly when wear is detected to prevent unsafe operating conditions.

Using genuine Kito replacement parts ensures dimensional accuracy and material compatibility with the original hoist components, maintaining the integrity of the load brake assembly and the overall safety rating of the hoist. Installation of the friction disc should be performed by a qualified hoist technician familiar with Kito Model M3 disassembly and reassembly procedures, and the hoist should be load tested following any brake assembly service before returning to service.
