Electric Hoists

Electric hoists are a powerful lifting mechanism that uses a motor to assist lifting and lowering heavy weights precisely and quickly. Electric hoists can be found in a variety of industries including manufacturing operations, construction, warehousing and logistic functions. All of these methods offer safer solutions to replacement for manual lifting equipment. Electric hoists are available in different configurations: wire rope hoists and chain hoists. Load limits for electric hoists start at about 0.5 tonnes and go over 10 tonnes! Electric hoists have heavy-duty motors, lifting mechanisms and operator control systems that include push buttons on the pendant or a remote control. Many electric hoists come with trolleys built in, allowing horizontal movement along structural channels or along a gantry. Electric hoists are specifically designed to allow for high duty cycles, and while they can be used in any application of mobility and vertical lifting, they can perform reliably in the toughest environments of steel plants, chemical plants, and assembly lines. Electric hoists offer many safety elements, such as overload protection, emergency stop functions, and thermal protection in the motors. Electric hoists are compact in design, while performing like a heavy lifting tool, and can be very simple to install, transport, and maintain. The motors can be very energy efficient and can come as outdoor hoists if needed, and as a heavy-duty product, they can be used in a variety of locations.
