Description
Lift Hoists
Lift Hoists allows 'Mechs, Support Vehicles, and other vehicle types to handle cargo via a lifting mechanism. This piece of equipment usually increases the speed of moving cargo.
The typical style of this equipment varies. Examples include a chain-and-pulley method, high-tension cables, or myomer powered, claw-like specialty lifters.[1]
Arresting Hoist
Arresting Hoists are a typical variant of the lift hoist, which are used to reel aircraft into an AirShip or bring small spacecraft and other vehicles into a DropShip's fighter or small craft bays. However, it is noted that this method is considered hazardous at times.[1]
Specifics
- Unit Restrictions:
- Lift Hoist: All units may use it except: ProtoMechs, fighters (conventional and Aerospace), Small Craft and DropShips
- Arresting Hoists: Are restricted to only Airship Support Ships, Fixed-Wing Air Support Ships, VTOLs (Combat & Support VTOLs) & DropShips.
Notes
Critical slots for arresting hoists are part of the bay itself.[2]
Rules
Game Rules
- Life Hoists: Lift Hoist maybe used by only if the unit is active and if the pilot is able to act.
- Arresting Hoists: This equipment allows Fixed-Wing Air Support Vehicles, DropShips, VTOLs, and Airship Support Ships to retrieve fighters. This is action is allowed as long the unit remains in play and the pilot or crew is able to act.[3]
Construction Rules
Lift Hoists
'Mechs (Industrial or BattleMech) may mount up to two Lift Hoists in either arms or their Torsos. Combat and Support Vehicles can mount up four standard lifts which are restricted to the body of vehicle. VTOLs may mount them anywhere but the mainbody.[4]
Arresting Hoists
You may only equip one per the Airship Support Vehicle's vehicle cubicle that is designated as a dock for airborne craft.dy.[5]
