Why Buy an Electric or Pneumatic Chain Hoist?

  • Electricity and or compressed air are readily available in most plants.
  • They are typically more compact than a wire rope unit.
  • Most of our chain hoists for sale have an overload slip clutch to prevent over capacity loads.
  • Especially in the lower capacities, high speeds are available to help increase work force productivity, better ergonomics and safety.
  • Chain typically is a more durable and less expensive option when compared to wire rope.
  • Most electric hoists are H-4 duty cycle and air powered are h-5 duty cycles.
  • By making a simple chain change-out the lift can be increased or decreased.
  • Hook mounting allows units to be easily changed out around the plant.
  • They always have true vertical lift. A wire rope unit must be double reeved to be true vertical lift.
  • An air powered motor is inherently spark resistant. Add specific features such as stainless chain, and bronze hooks to meet a specific environment.
  • For optimum pneumatic or electric chain hoist life consider that the ball bearing life varies inversely according to the cube of the load. An example is a one ton electric hoist operated at a mean effective load of 1/2 ton will have a ball bearing life 8 times that of a hoist used at its maximum capacity. Obviously this is a major consideration if hoist repair cost and downtime are issues.
  • If a 2-speed unit is to be used, make sure to confirm the voltage as these are not typically re-connectable to other voltages as single speed electric hoists. For example a 230-3-60 volt unit cannot be wired to run on 460-3-60 on a two-speed motor.
