Jib Crane Electric Hoist

Electric chain hoist cranes are compact, lightweight, and reliable lifting devices commonly used for light to medium-duty lifting tasks. They utilize a high-strength chain as the lifting medium and are ideal for precise positioning of loads in workshops, warehouses, and small industrial applications. These cranes are typically mounted on monorails, jib cranes, or workstation cranes, offering flexibility and ease of use in confined or limited spaces.

Compared to wire rope hoist cranes, electric chain hoist cranes are more suitable for lighter loads, cost-sensitive projects, and applications where space-saving, low maintenance, and portability are key priorities. With options for pendant or remote control, they support smooth and safe lifting with simple operation and easy installation.

Main Components

  • Electric Chain Hoist: The primary lifting mechanism powered by an electric motor, driving the chain to elevate and lower loads with precision.

  • Load Chain: A high-strength alloy chain that ensures reliable lifting, offering smooth, controlled, and safe movement during operation.

  • Trolley: Supports the hoist and moves horizontally along the girder, available in both single and double girder configurations for flexibility.

  • Girder: The main structural beam (profile or box girder) that supports the trolley and hoist, ensuring stability and strength during operation.

  • Hooks: Forged steel hooks that adhere to stringent industrial safety standards, providing secure and reliable load attachment.

  • Control System: Includes a pendant control system (festooned) or the option of wireless remote control, offering convenience and flexibility in operation.

  • Travel Motor & Drive: Features a stepless motion system, ensuring smooth and precise horizontal movement of the hoist across the girder.

  • Power Supply System: Utilizes a drag chain or cable system to deliver stable and consistent energy to the hoist, ensuring reliable operation over time.
