Electric Hoist for JIB Crane

An electric hoist for jib cranes provides an essential lifting solution for a wide range of industrial tasks. Whether you’re handling heavy materials in warehouses, production lines, or construction sites, these hoists deliver exceptional performance with robust design and precise load control. With options for chain or wire rope hoists, they are built to withstand demanding environments and support efficient lifting operations.

Our electric hoists offer smooth lifting speeds, from single-speed to variable-speed control, ensuring your crane operates seamlessly across various load capacities and work settings. Compatible with both single and double girder designs, they can be integrated into wall-mounted or freestanding jib cranes for flexible and space-saving lifting solutions.

Main Components

  • Electric Chain Hoist: The primary lifting component, driven by an electric motor to operate the lifting chain for vertical movement.

  • Load Chain: Constructed from high-strength alloy, this chain ensures smooth, reliable lifting with controlled motion.

  • Trolley: This device supports the hoist and moves it horizontally along the crane’s girder, available in both single and double girder configurations.

  • Girder: The horizontal beam that supports both the hoist and trolley, available in profile or box girder designs.

  • Hooks: Made from forged steel and designed to meet industrial safety standards, providing secure lifting.

  • Control System: Operates through a pendant control system (festoon) or an optional wireless remote control for flexible operation.

  • Travel Motor & Drive: Provides a smooth, precise horizontal movement with stepless travel control.

  • Power Supply System: Utilizes a drag chain or cable system to ensure steady and safe energy transmission to the hoist.
