Question 1

Electric Chain Hoists

Accepted Answer

Our range of Electric Chain Hoists can handle 150kg to 10,000kg’s loads (light to heavy) and offer the highest level of build quality, and are suited to a broad range of applications. Electric hoists are the most commonly used hoist type in South Africa, helping to improve efficiency across diverse industries and applications.

Question 2

What are the benefits of an electric chain hoist?

Accepted Answer

Electric chain hoists are inexpensive compared to cranes. They are hassle-free and they can be easily operated with simple controls. They offer high-efficiency, at an affordable cost even in demanding conditions. They will ensure a smooth and steady vertical lift, with a high degree of precision and make light work of heavy objects when compared to a manual hoist.

Question 3

How do electric chain hoists work?

Accepted Answer

Electric chain hoists have an induction motor and a break to ensure the load is held when lifting (enabling heavy objects/loads to be lifted safely). The motor converts electrical energy that is fed into mechanical energy which can then lift the load/weight. It has a break that has an interlock mechanism in combination with a motor that operates in a unique way. When the electric chain hoist is in operation the energy supply to the break will be released, but when the motor is off the supply is automatically provided and the break will resume to ensure that the crane load can be held.

Question 4

What do electric chain hoists do?

Accepted Answer

The primary benefit is that they are able to lift loads straight up with no lateral movement. They are commonly used for light to medium loads and are ideally suited to use in assembly operations, on a workstation crane, with a jib crane, or for maintenance operations. They are a simple, easy-to-use solution to increase productivity in your workspace and operations.

Question 5

When selecting an electric chain hoist consider the following

Accepted Answer

Required capacity – based on current and future needs
Lifting speed – depending on production output needs
The height of lift – highly dependent on building height
The type of material being lifted and work environment
Duty cycle – how often the chain hoist will be operating per day
Budget – consider more than just the initial cost, think about maintenance too
Get a guarantee – the warranty a manufacturer or supplier is willing to put behind their product is a sign of its quality.
