Electric hoist & Electric Chain Hoist

An electric hoist is a lifting equipment, designed to lift, move, and lower loads easily, simply, and safely. Typically, the hoists use wire rope or chain to lift materials. There are different types of hoists, such as electric chain hoist, electric motor hoist, I beam hoist, electric pulley hoist, electric monorail hoist, single speed and double speed electric hoist, fem electric hoist, low headroom hoist, electric hoist, explosion proof electric rope hoist, metallurgical electric hoist, etc.

Manual hoist is to use human power to lift the weight, while electric hoist is to rely on the power of the power supply to lift the weight. In other words, manual hoist takes more time and labor than electric hoist during operation.

Electric Hoists are a type of lifting equipment that is used for lifting, lowering, and moving heavy and large objects. The main types of electric hoists are Electric Chain Hoists and the electric wire rope hoist.


Manual hoists are powered by a gear system like the other hoists, but what turns those gears is actually the hoist operator. Manual hoists are very simple hoists, with a wide range of lift capacity from 1 ton to 50 tons.

One of the main advantages of using an electric lifting hoist is the speed in which lifting and lowering can be done. Some of the slower models can reach 1.5 metres in one minute, whereas some of the faster electric hoists can reach 12 metres per minute. This means that if you are looking for a fast electric hoist, you should take this into consideration and electric hoists will all have different speeds. With the quick speeds, you’ll be able to complete lifting operations much more efficiently and faster.

Electric hoists are easy to use, meaning that less work is required to lift heavier loads in comparison to manual hoists. This means that if you’re intending to use the hoist for frequent operations, you will most likely benefit more from an electric hoist.

With lifting made much easier, the operations can be carried out without compromising on safety, therefore protecting the load and individuals using the electric hoist.

While electric hoists are more costly than manual hoists, they are inexpensive compared the cost of sick pay and down time due to muscle injuries from manual lifting and are therefore one of the most popular options in the industry due to their efficient operations even in demanding conditions. They are hassle-free, can be easily operated with basic, touch button controls and lift goods with high precision.

Manual hoists work by hand, so no power supply is required to lift loads. This means that manual hoists can be used virtually anywhere, as long as they can be anchored securely. As manual hoists are generally easier to move around than electrical, they work perfectly for when you’re regularly on the move.

In comparison to electric hoists, manual hoists are more affordable and are perhaps best used for light lifting although heavy duty models are available and suitable for lifting really heavy loads often 20 tonne and more. As they do not require electricity, they are also much cheaper to run.

Manual hoists are safe to use, durable and are lightweight, making it a firm favourite for those in the industry who are unable to transport the heavier electric hoist.

Hoist operation safety lists

  • Do not exceed the safe load limit of hoist.
  • Maintain hoist ropes and chains lubricated.
  • Hoist loads up from right over the loads or it may swing when lifting if not centered.
  • Place hoists in the highest part of hook area to make sure hook support is in line with hook shank directly.
  • Lever operated hoist can be pulled in any direction in a straight line. However, side pulling or lifting increase wear and stress on hoist parts.
  • Pushing a loaded hoistPushing a loaded hoist is safer (A). If it must be pulled, use a rope (B)
  • To load the lower hook, place loads right in line with the hook shank to make sure load chain in a straight line from hook shank to hook shank.
  • Stand clear of load completely.
  • Place loads in the hook completely.
  • Move hoist controls smoothly to avoid abrupt and jerky movements of loads.
  • Make sure the sling and hoisting ropes from slacking before lifting.
  • Keep the loads from any loose material, parts, blocking and packing before lifting.
  • Make sure all people away from loads before lifting.
