Electric Chain Hoist

Overview

What Is an Electric Chain Hoist?

An electric chain hoist is a light, compact lifting device consisting of a motor, transmission mechanism, and chain wheel. Designed using advanced international technology, it delivers fine workmanship and tight gear-to-gear fit for long-lasting, reliable performance.

Compared to traditional wire rope hoists, electric chain hoists are smaller, lighter, quieter, and more precise — while offering a longer service life under the same operating conditions.

  • Beautiful design, solid durability, international technology
  • Lifting height: 3 – 50 metres
  • Lifting capacity: 0.5 – 35 tonnes
  • Hot-quenched internal gears for enhanced wear resistance
  • Suitable for I-beams, curved rails, jib cranes and fixed lifting points
