What drives Electric Chain Hoist?

Electric hoist is a product of the electrical age, electricity drives the hoist lifting motor and the travelling motor, then the electric hoist can lift heavy objects to move.

There are different voltages around the world, roughly in the range of 110-600V, electric chain hoist. Electric chain hoists of Yuantai Crane supplied support a wide range of voltages and can meet the needs of most customers.

• The power supply of 0.5-5 ton electric chain hoist can be any voltage above 220V, no matter it's single phase or three phase.
• If the lifting capacity you need is above 5 ton, the power supply should be 220-550V 3Phase, as 3 phase electricity is more powerful than single phase one.

Types and Selection of Electric Chain Hoists

Different working conditions choose difference electric chain hoists.

For normal use:

• Hook type electric chain hoist
• Electric chain hoist with manual trolley
• Electric chain hoist with motorized trolley
• Low headroom electric chain hoist
• European electric chain hoist

For high lifting height and limited space at the upper space:

• Low headroom electric chain hoist
• European electric chain hoist

For dust-proof and explosion-proof requirements

• Explosion-proof electric chain hoist

For theatres and concert halls lift speakers, lighting systems, stage sets, curtains and sceneries:

• Electric stage hoist

Electric Chain Hoist Application

Same with electric wire rope hoist, electric chain hoist normally is equipped on crane systems as lifting mechanism.

• For monorail, the hoist is mounted on single girder or I-beam;
• For double beam crane system, the hoist can be designed as an electric crab hoist trolley, travelling on the double girder crane.

The crane system equipped with electric wire rope hoist are serving every industry, such as:

• Mechanical processing
• General manufacturing
• Automobile
• Aviation industry
• Metals industry
• Paper and pulping
• Power energy industry
• Waste to Energy and Biomass
• Petroleum and gas
• Mining
• Entertainment industry
