Overhead Hoist I Beam

Our overhead hoist I beam is designed to offer superior strength and reliability in lifting operations. With a range of customizable sizes and configurations, these beams are engineered to support the efficient operation of hoists, ensuring smooth movement of heavy loads in manufacturing, construction, and warehouse environments.

Whether you need to build a new lifting system or upgrade an existing one, the overhead hoist I beam provides a flexible and durable solution that adapts to various applications. Made with high-strength steel or aluminum, our I beams deliver both long-lasting performance and easy maintenance. These beams can be easily integrated with electric or manual hoists to create an efficient lifting system tailored to your specific needs.

Main Components

  • Electric Chain Hoist: The main lifting component powered by an electric motor that drives the lifting chain for vertical motion.

  • Load Chain: A high-strength alloy chain used for lifting, offering smooth, controlled, and reliable load handling.

  • Trolley: The unit that transports the hoist along the crane’s girder. Available in both single and double girder configurations.

  • Girder: The primary horizontal beam, either a profile or box girder, that provides support for the trolley and hoist.

  • Hooks: Heavy-duty forged steel hooks, designed to meet industrial safety standards for secure load handling.

  • Control System: Operates via pendant control with a festoon system or an optional wireless remote for convenient operation.

  • Travel Motor & Drive: The motor and drive system ensure a smooth, precise, and continuous horizontal motion of the crane.

  • Power Supply System: The drag chain or cable system delivers a stable and reliable power source to the hoist, ensuring continuous operation.
