Externally mounted, electrically powered rescue hoist model 44301 utilizes the Collins Aerospace proprietary translating drum cable management system. The hoist design also incorporates a Weston style load brake and overload slip clutch for added safety. The lubricated cable extends cable life and helps arrest corrosion of the cable drum.
