I will share you how to choose suitable electric hoist for your project and get electric hoist price from professional electric hoist supplier today. The article is mainly composed of 4 parts, respectively, what is electric hoist, the classification of electric hoist, how to choose the right electric hoist and how to get the quotation of the electric hoist you want.
Part 1. What is Electric Hoist?
Electric hoist is widely used in all industries. It is mainly used as lifting mechanism equipped overhead crane, gantry crane, jib crane and other crane equipment. Electric hoists have various shapes, but their actual structure is roughly the same, just like people, there are fat and thin, high and low, but the structure of the human body is roughly the same.
The electric hoist is mainly composed of lifting motor, reducer, drum (sprocket), wire rope (chain), metal shell, electrical equipment and safety devices. It should be noted that although the structure is similar, the accessories of electric hoists from different manufacturers are not universal, so if your electric hoist breaks down and you need to replace the accessories, it is recommended that you can look for them from your hoist supplier.

Part 3. How to Choose the Right Electric Hoist
- Safety first. You should choose that electric hoist that can meet your industry and working conditions in terms of safety. This is the most important point.
- Choose it according the speed you need. Normally, the lifting speed and traveling speed of the electric wire rope hoist are faster than electric chain hoist. So, if your work need slow speed to ensure accuracy, such as in assembly workshop, we advise you can choose electric chain hoist and euro-spec electric wire rope hoist.
- Price. Meet the needs of use and the price is reasonable, we think the electric hoist is suitable for you. Meet your needs, but the price is high, there is no cost-effective.
