FAQ
Can the IP65 hoist be directly hosed down?
Yes, the IP65 rating means the hoist can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for washdown cleaning protocols.
Is the stainless steel version also IP65 rated?
The standard IP65 model uses stainless steel construction. For the most corrosive environments, the SUS316 stainless steel option with IP65 rating is recommended.

Technical Specifications in Detail
The IP65 Waterproof UV-C Hoist System is designed and tested to IP65 ingress protection standards per IEC 60529. This rating confirms complete protection against dust ingress and protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction, making the system suitable for washdown environments, high-humidity areas, and outdoor covered installations. All electrical connections use IP65-rated waterproof connectors. The motor housing features sealed bearings and a condensation drain to prevent internal moisture accumulation. The cable entry system uses waterproof glands rated for the same protection level. The unit is constructed from food-grade 304 stainless steel with all hardware in 316 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance. Available in H-UV10 and H-UV25 configurations. Operating temperature range is -10C to +50C with the IP65 seal integrity maintained across the full range.
Real-World Installation Examples
A food processing facility in the Netherlands installed eight IP65 Waterproof UV-C Hoist Systems in their fresh produce packing hall. The environment subjects equipment to daily high-pressure washdown with foaming sanitizers followed by hot water rinse. The IP65-rated lifts have completed over 2000 washdown cycles without any moisture ingress issues. The UV-C disinfection program operates between production shifts, reducing surface microbial counts by 99.9% on food contact surfaces without chemical residues.
A swimming pool and leisure center in Australia installed the IP65 hoists in their changing room and shower areas. The high humidity and direct water spray environment required equipment rated for wet locations. The UV-C lifts provide daily disinfection of changing room surfaces, reducing fungal and bacterial contamination on floors and benches. Staff report a significant reduction in facility odor and improved hygiene inspection scores since installation.
