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.

Single-handed operation. Single-phase power
Kito’s variable-speed ED hoist operates on standard 115 V with the added benefit of an ergonomic cylinder control for ease and comfort. The EDCL is perfect for any production line, while still being small enough to move between job sites.
Kito Three Phase Electric Chain Hoists
ER Series Electric Chain Hoists feature advanced hoist technology, easy serviceability, and unmatched durability. O’Brien Lifting Solutions is proud to bring you these options to increase your productivity.
Built to last
The ER2 electric hoist is engineered for peak performance—no matter the job. Its quiet operation and minimal vibration reduce workplace noise pollution, help lower worker fatigue, and extend the life of your hoist.
When working clean is critical
The FER food-grade electric chain hoist is your best choice for lifting applications in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries—where maintaining a pristine environment is essential. Run your production line with confidence knowing the FDA-approved food-grade lubricants used on the load chain and in the gearbox are NSF H1 compliant for safe use where incidental contact with product is a concern.
Don’t let low voltage hold you back
Meet the EQ family of three-phase powered hoists, the latest innovation in safety and performance. Enjoy smoother starts and stops, unmatched precision, and a Variable Frequency Drive for speed to meet your requirements.
Single-handed operation. Three-phase power.
Ergonomically designed, this three-phase cylinder control ER2C Series delivers everything you need for a safe and easy operation. It features Guardian Smart Brake technology – an electrical fail-safe design and an in-line grip for one-handed operation allowing the user’s free hand to position the load easily. The sealed body allows this dual-speed hoist to hold up in the harshest environments, whether indoors or out.
Manual Chain Hoist
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.
CF Kito Hand Chain Hoist
Product Overview
The CF exemplifies simplicity in design while making zero compromises on performance. Its die cast aluminum body reduces the hoist weight and won’t corrode when exposed to the elements. Plus, the proven 1:1 ratio gear system makes it a fast hoist that’s reliable and maintenance friendly. The CF is simply the best choice when you need an economical hoist that doesn’t skimp on toughness.
