Electric Chain Hoists

Quick Ref: CN-6
Discounted high quality, low cost electric chain blocks (chain hoists) - We can supply an electric chain hoist to suit almost any budget and application.

LiftingSafety offer in our online shop/catalogue a range of electric chain hoists to suit most applications from many of the leading quality hoist manufacturers including Yale, Stahl, Hadef, Donati, Tractel, Verlinde, Kito and many more.

Options available on the electric chain hoists that we offer are very similar to that of the manual hand chain hoist with the addition of powered motions as opposed to requiring manual effort to raise or travel the load along a crane or runway beam.

Our electric hoists are fitted as standard with a top hook or lug suspension, but can also be supplied with an integrated manual or electric powered beam trolley that can be controlled by a push button pendant or by radio remote control. Options are available with slow, fast or variable lifting speeds and hoists can be supplied to suit a variety of different voltages / power supplies with bespoke hoists also available, suitable for different environments (offshore, cleanroom, wet and/or dusty etc. IP55, IP65, IP66 for example), dependant on user requirements.

We can also offer specialist application hoists that have been specifically designed for use on wind turbines and Atex areas.

We appreciate that an electric hoist can represent a sizable investment and so if you are even a little unsure as to the most appropriate type or model, then please contact our sales or technical staff who will assist you accordingly.

The Yale range of electric hoists offers choice, variety and quality and can be supplied hook suspended or with a monorail trolley (manual push/pull, manual geared or electric). They are available in capacities from 125kg up to 10 tonne (10,000kg) through 5 different types of hoist that are all great quality hoists with their own unique key features.

We are a Yale authorised Master Distributor which means we can supply and/or install any Yale electric hoist at a competitive price.

Yale are part of the CMCO Group (Columbus McKinnon Corporation) which is one of the world's largest and most professional lifting equipment manufacturers. All of the CE/UKCA certified Yale electric hoists in the Columbus McKinnon range are available to us and presented to you here. The hoists manufactured by both CM or Yale provide an excellent range that can generally cover the majority of electric chain hoist enquiries.

With the Stahl ST line of electric chain hoists you can find capacities starting from as little as 125kg all the way up to 5 tonne, with 500kg, 1 tonne, 1.6 tonne, 2 tonne, 2.5 tonne and 3.2 tonne models in between. All of which can be supplied with hook suspension, or trolley mounted to either a manual push/pull beam trolley or an electrically powered beam trolley (this can also be single speed or dual speed), as standard.

Varying other features are also available such as Atex protection, foot mounting or rigid suspension point for fixed execution, as well as low-headroom and articulating trolley variants also being possible.

The Delta electric hoist range is typical of what you would expect to see as a standard electric hoist, with all of the common features and options, with capacities up to 5 tonne, but where Delta are different to the greater majority of hoist manufacturers is that they also offer a very compact and lightweight battery powered chain hoist. Though that battery hoist is limited to a maximum capacity of 500kg, it can easily become a standard kit component of site equipment because of the lack of need for a wired power source.

If you are in the market for a battery powered chain hoist, but need a greater capacity than 0.5 tonne, then we also offer the CM BatteryStar Battery Powered Hoist which has a 1 tonne maximum capacity.

The complete and comprehensive range of Hadef electric hoists and trolley combinations; from fixed execution or hook suspended, to manual trolleys, to fully powered in all motions, Hadef offer it all with unique custom designs or one-off completely bespoke being second nature. If there is a possibility of an electrically powered hoisting solution, then a Hadef hoist can be offered.

Capacity options start at 125kg on the 62/05 series and can be offered all the way up to 50 tonne on 10 falls of chain with the 29/06 UL-EE ultra-low headroom hoist, or 100 tonnes on the 66/04 AK standard headroom line.

Tractel Electric Chain Hoists

LiftingSafety are compiling a collection of hoists for use or potential use on wind turbines from lifting equipment manufacturers all over the globe. We offer both electric chain hoists suitable for offshore use. Used for maintenance and some times and permanent installation. The key feature about a chain hoist used on offshore wind turbines is the lifting speed and the weather protection. The chain hoist must be able to lift the load faster than the see can raise (sea swell) as per the industries acceptable sea state conditions. We offer turbine hoists from Columbus McKinnon and from Verlinde though will be adding to this category in the near future.

High Speed Electric Chain Hoists for Wind Turbines

Verlinde electric hoists are of excellent quality and are extremely customizable, based on the requirements of the user, with capacity options from 60kg up to 10000kg. Verlinde manufacture their hoisting equipment in France under the Verlinde brand, but also for other brands such as Kone Cranes, which are basically the same hoist with a different badge. As with the Kito hoists, the range of Verlinde electric hoists are more costly than some other electric hoists though the range is far greater than most, as is their ability to modify a particular hoist to suit the customers specific working environment.

More Information

An electric hoist, with a mains powered electric motor (generally 110v, 240v or 415v AC) and that utilises a chain to perform the lift, is often referred to by a more common term which is an 'electric chain hoist'. We can supply almost any type or brand of electric hoist from most major hoisting equipment manufacturers. We are also a supplier of a complete range of manual chain hoists, wire rope hoists and scaffold hoists that could possibly prove to be a better suited hoist for the more specific application.

Just about all of the hoists which we supply are also available with a full range of customisations and accessories to suit, which can add usability, practicality and functionality, that then in turn can ease user effort required, thus increasing productivity and possibly reducing overall production costs.

This particular type of hoisting equipment can be supplied with a variety of compatible options such as:

  • 1Ph (single phase) electric - Generally 110v or 230v/240v
  • 3Ph (three phase) electric - Industrial 400v/415v
  • 18v DC - See our battery powered electric chain hoist for more information. Though only available in 250kg or 500kg safe working loads.
  • Capacities ranging from 60kg up to 50 tonne.
  • Wide range of other unit specific features such as twin hooks or spark resistance for example.

Note: One of our electric winches may also be a more suitable lifting device, which could make lifting and handling your loads easier, more efficient, and possibly faster. Also available, which may be of interest is a wide range of air hoists, which have a more specific assortment of features, that make them more suitable for conditions such as hazardous environments or under-water (sub-sea) for example.
