There are a number of checks to consider before purchasing your hoist to ensure you specify everything to successfully buy an electric chain hoist:
Lifting Capacity– ranging from 200kg-32000kg.
Height of lift– the distance from the underside of the hoist body to the load you will be lifting, often the floor to rail dimension suffices unless hoisting in and out of a pit or off a mezzanine etc.
Supply Voltage– offer 380v 3phase 50hz as standard but can accommodate alternative voltages depending upon your supply and requirement.
Suspension Type– choose between a stationary hoist with a top hook, or fixed point and range of trolley systems available in manual or electric and in various headroom configurations, when referring to ‘headroom’ we mean the distance from the underside of the beam.
Environment– it’s important to consider the environment that your hoist will live in, not only the obvious indoors/outdoors question but deeper than that. Consider what’s in the air- are you quayside or near the sea? You might need a stainless steel load chain or added corrosion resistance. Are you working in a dusty environment? You might need a higher electrical insulation rating that protects against ingress of fine dust particles. When working in a standard indoor industrial environment normally the standard IP55 is acceptable. If special working condition, welcome to contact us and get professional assist.
