This electric chain hoist with motorized trolley to Maldives is designed for smooth, quiet operation and optimal performance in outdoor marine environments.
Design Features & Benefits
Built for Salt & Sun:
Standard electric hoists fail fast in the Maldives. Our 10 ton electric hoist features marine-grade corrosion protection and an IP65 rating – essential for resisting relentless salt spray, high humidity, and intense UV exposure.
Precision & Power for Island Logistics:
The 10-ton capacity effortlessly handled bulky resort components. The 2.7m/min lifting speed provided optimal control for delicate positioning over water and constrained worksites, while the 14m lifting height accommodated multi-story villa construction.
Reliability Where It Matters Most:
Remote islands demand dependable equipment. Our hoist’s robust chain mechanism and sealed electrical components ensure minimal downtime and low maintenance, critical when spare parts aren’t readily available.
Seamless Integration:
The 10 ton hoist was easily mounted onto the project’s custom gantry system, becoming the workhorse for daily material handling – from dock deliveries to final installation points.
Why the Maldives Resort Chose DQCRANES?
The client required reliable, corrosion-resistant lifting solutions for their island-based construction. DQCRANES stood out for:
- Customized lifting solutions tailored to tropical construction sites
- Fast production and delivery timelines to meet project schedules
- Proven durability and safety standards in harsh environments

Delivery & Installation
Despite the location challenges, DQCRANES arranged fast sea freight to Malé and assisted with on-site hoist installation through a local contractor. The electric trolley chain hoist is now fully operational, streamlining heavy lifting for the resort’s structural assembly phase.

Solving Construction Challenges
Limited Space: The compact electric chain hoist design maximizes efficiency on small, crowded island construction sites.
