Which Valve Does My Hoist Have?

Kingston Valve RW0088-A

Air hydraulic hoists from Northern and Barbee have a Kingston valve which is RW0088-A.  

Northern electric hydraulic hoists have Greeson or Bucher valves.  Greeson valves are no longer available through Northern but can be updated to a Bucher valve using a Bucher Valve kit which is RW0460-BVK and includes the valve.

Barbee electric hydraulic hoists have Greeson valves and different microswitches.  Barbee needs to be contacted for replacing these valves.


Which Pivot Plate Does My Hoist Have?


Northern pivot plates (RW0280-28) for 35”, 45” and 55” tables use a ½” bolt. The grease zerk is in the plate.

Northern pivot plates (RW0460-28) for 65” tables use a 5/8” bolt. The grease zerk is in the plate.

Barbee has a different style pivot plate than Northern. They use a ½” bolt on both their small and large hoists. The Barbee grease zerk is in the bolt and not in the plate.  We do not offer Barbee pivot plates.

A Northern pivot plate can be used on a Barbee if the entire assembly is changed out. For an RW0260, this is RW0280-29 and RW0280-28. For an RW0460, this is RW0460-29 and RW0460-28.

Northern and Barbee tables and clamp posts are interchangeable.
