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
  • Remote support and technical guidance

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.

Site Preparation

  • Ensure that the supporting structure or beam can handle at least 125% of the rated load.
  • Confirm proper power supply (typically 3-phase, 380V or 415V in the Maldives).
  • Verify clearance height for the hoist and chain bag.

Mounting the Hoist

  • Install the hoist on a beam trolley (manual or motorized, depending on application).
  • Align the trolley and hoist to ensure smooth horizontal movement.

Electrical Connections

  • Connect to the main power panel using proper circuit breakers and grounding.
  • Connect the pendant or the remote control unit.
  • Ensure weatherproof wiring and cable routing for coastal protection.

Testing & Calibration

  • Test all motions: lifting, lowering, trolley movement (if applicable).
  • Set the upper and lower limit switches.
  • Check lifting speed and ensure the chain is properly lubricated and untwisted.

  • Provide a load test certificate (usually done at 125% capacity).
  • Hand over technical documents and warranty terms.

FAQs: Electric Chain Hoists in Maldives

A: Electric chain hoists are commonly used in the Maldives for:

  • Resort construction
  • Marine and dock operations
  • Warehousing
  • Maintenance work

They are ideal for lifting heavy loads like steel beams, prefabricated panels, generators, and construction materials.

A: Salt spray accelerates rust, jams chains, and fries electronics. Solutions:

  • Stainless steel/zanised chains and sealed motors (IP65+).
  • Epoxy-coated components for marine environments.
  • Monthly rinsing with fresh water and anti-corrosion lubricants.

A: Typically 4–8 weeks ex-works, plus 1–2 weeks shipping.

A: Absolutely. Their compact design fits confined barges/island sites, while precise speed control (e.g., 2.7 m/min) ensures safe lifting of fragile materials (glass panels, villa modules) over water. Use with gantry cranes for maximum flexibility.

A: Harsh conditions require 2x more frequent checks vs. temperate climates:

  • Monthly: Clean chains, inspect seals.
  • Quarterly: Motor/electrical checks.
  • Annually: Full corrosion assessment.

Pro Tip: Opt for hoists with sealed, low-maintenance designs.

A: Yes, DQCRANES provide a 12 to 24-month warranty. Spare parts and remote diagnostics are available.
