Overview

Crysteel’s Marathon telescopic hoist offers powerful lifting without wasted doghouse space. Marathon is trunnion mounted, providing unmatched stability among conventional top pinned telescopic hoists.

For traveling over uneven terrain when stress between truck frame and dump body are present, Crysteel designed the floating cradle. It allows the hoist cylinder to pivot up to 2.5 degrees side to side, reducing bending tension. The floating cradle on Marathon hoists is designed especially for haulers that move in and out of construction, demolition and mining sites.

Auto-Bleed™ cylinders, patented by Crysteel, eliminate the inconvenience and dangers of manually bleeding air out of your cylinder. The Auto-Bleed system automatically and effortlessly removes unwanted air from the hydraulic system.
