Chain Hoists

Electric Chain Hoists

Electric chain hoists are designed to meet operational needs and provide precision lifting and durability.

Electric chain hoists are mechanical devices used for lifting and lowering heavy loads in various industrial and commercial settings. They operate on electricity, making them convenient and powerful tools for material handling.

The core components of an electric chain hoist include an electric motor that drives a chain wound around a drum or sprocket. When activated, the motor causes the chain to move, raising or lowering the attached load. These hoists come in a range of load capacities, from small units suitable for lighter tasks to heavy-duty models capable of lifting several tons. The lifting speed can also vary depending on the specific model.

Electric chain hoists offer several advantages over manual lifting methods. They provide precise control, reducing the risk of accidents, and are highly efficient, saving time and effort. They are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, warehousing, and automotive maintenance to streamline material handling processes and enhance workplace safety.

SHB Kito Hand Hoist

Product Overview

Sometimes there’s just not enough room above a load to use a standard hoist. That’s where the low profile SHB hoist and trolley combo work where others can’t. Built around the quality CB hoist with headroom’s as low as 4.5 inches, the SHB is ideal for demanding industrial lifting applications where space is extra tight.

RCB Kito Hand Chain Hoist

Product Overview

The RCB’s spark resistant design is certified to ATEX standards to ensure safer lifting in dust-laden or explosive gas atmospheres. The RCB is specifically designed for use in petroleum, pharmaceutical and food industries, or any application where safety is improved by the use of anti-sparking equipment. Be sure to look for the ATEX mark to know that your hoist is safe to use in environments with combustible gases, vapours and dusts.
