The overhead chain hoist is a compact and powerful lifting device designed for safe, efficient, and precise handling of loads. Built with high-strength materials and advanced lifting mechanisms, this hoist is ideal for workshops, factories, and warehouses requiring reliable vertical lifting. With smooth operation, enhanced safety systems, and long-lasting durability, the overhead chain hoist ensures productivity while reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Electric Chain Hoist: The main lifting component powered by an electric motor to operate the chain mechanism.
Load Chain: Made from high-strength alloy, providing reliable load handling with smooth and stable operation.
Trolley: Supports the hoist and enables horizontal travel along the girder, available in single- or double-girder configurations.
Girder: The primary load-bearing beam, designed in either profile or box girder form to support the trolley and hoist.
Hooks: Manufactured from forged steel and compliant with strict industrial safety standards.
Control System: Standard pendant control with festoon arrangement, with the option of wireless remote control for flexible operation.
Travel Motor & Drive: Provides stepless travel motion, ensuring accurate and vibration-free horizontal movement.
Power Supply System: Utilizes drag chain or cable power feed for consistent and secure energy transmission to the hoist.
