Palans pneumatiques. Deux grandes familles existent parmi les palans : les engins munis d’un cylindre à air et ceux à moteur fonctionnant à l’air comprimé [...] Les palans pneumatiques à moteur sont d’une conception très voisine de celle des palans électriques [...] Le moteur ne s’échauffe pas et peut donc travailler en permanence. 1, record 2, French, - palan%20pneumatique%20%C3%A0%20moteur
