Electric Hoists: Chain Hoist and Wire Rope Hoist

30 Oct, 2015

electric hoists is developed on the base of hoists, which is used with block, and tackle or pulley system to move loads. Originally, hoist is operated by hands, called manual hoists. With the development of engine, hoist can be wired into an electrical system, powered by electricity, which is called as electric hoists.
Electric hoists is a type of lifting equipment, used for material handling to lift and lower objects or loads. Electric hoist can travel vertically and horizontally when cooperated with other equipment. As they are very common lifting equipment, electric hoists are available in various stores, catalogs and directly from hoist manufacturers and suppliers.

Chain hoist and wire rope hoists are widely used when the loads are heavy for chain and wire rope are sturdier. Hoist chains and wire ropes are also rated according to the capability of handling loads based on weight. When selecting an electric hoist, it is import to choose the right weight rating, to ensure safety or prevent failing or burning out.
Electric chain hoists can be used to handle loads with the weight of 0.25 ton, 0.5 ton, 1 ton, 2ton, 3 ton, 5 ton,10 ton, 16ton, etc.
Electric wire rope hoist can be used to handle objects or loads with weight of 0.25 ton, 0.5 ton, 1 ton, 2ton, 3 ton, 5 ton,10 ton, 16ton, etc.

CD electric hoists is a type of single speed electric hoists while the MD electric hoists is a type of double speed hoists with the more precision. 
CD electric hoists can be used to handle objects or loads with weight of 0.25 ton, 0.5 ton, 1 ton, 2ton, 3 ton, 5 ton,10 ton, 16ton, etc. 
MD electric hoists is can be used to handle objects or loads with weight of 0.25 ton, 0.5 ton, 1 ton, 2ton, 3 ton, 5 ton,10 ton, 16ton, etc.

Metallurigcal electric hoist

The type of electric hoist is used to special environments, such as, fire and explosion dangerous and corrosive medium, etc. 
Metallurgical electric hoist can be used to 2ton, 3 ton, 5 ton, 10 ton, etc.

Explosion-proof electric hoist

This type of electric hoist is featured with explosion-proof, which is used to applications that has the level of II A, II B, II C grade, the temperature sub-groups T1-T4 group of combustible gas, steam and air from the explosion gas mixtures in a zone, zone 2 areas.
Explosion-proof electric hoists can be used to handle objects or loads with weight of 0.25 ton, 0.5 ton, 1 ton, 2ton, 3 ton, 5 ton,10 ton, 16ton, etc.

Hoist operation

Electric hoists are operated with a remote switch or pendent control panel to lift, lower, and release the loads. The electric hoist operators have to be aware of the surrounding environment to prevent the happening of the accidents. In the following video, Dongqi Crane will present you how the electric chain hoist performances.

The Electric chain hoist is a light and small lifting equipment for material handling. The electric chain hoist in the video is a small hoist for light duty material handling. The light electric chain hoist is designed with the feature of nice outlook, solid durability, and advance technology, etc.
The specification of the electric chain hoist is presented on the product page of the Electric Chain Hoist ( Click to check).
