Factors You Should Consider When Selecting a Hoist

For example, if you need to lift heavy loads frequently and quickly in a dusty or humid environment, a 5 ton electric hoist may be a good choice. But if you only need to lift light loads occasionally and quietly in a clean and dry environment, a 5 ton electric hoist may be unnecessary or even harmful.

• The capacity: how much weight the hoist can lift safely and efficiently
• The duty cycle: how often and how long the hoist will be used in a given period of time
• The environment: what kind of conditions the hoist will operate in, such as temperature, humidity, dust, etc.
