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.
Electric Chain Hoist – The primary lifting mechanism powered by an electric motor, driving the lifting chain for vertical load movement.
Load Chain – High-strength alloy chain designed for smooth, controlled lifting performance.
Trolley – Supports the hoist and moves it horizontally along the girder; compatible with single or double girder configurations.
Girder – The main horizontal beam, available in profile or box girder design, that carries both trolley and hoist.
Hooks – Forged steel hooks manufactured according to industrial safety standards for secure lifting.
Control System – Operated via pendant control (festoon system) or optional wireless remote control for flexible handling.
Travel Motor & Drive – Provides stepless horizontal movement, ensuring precise and smooth travel along the girder.
Power Supply System – Drag chain or cable system delivers consistent and reliable energy to the hoist.
