Overhead Wire Rope Crane Hoists
In this section, we provide advanced wire rope lifting hoists designed to elevate loads using durable steel wire rope, in contrast to traditional chain systems. Our wire rope hoists are tailored to meet the specific working conditions and environments of our customers, with the option for customization to fit unique requirements. We can incorporate limit switches and overload protection mechanisms, ensuring safety for both indoor and outdoor applications. Additionally, we offer specialized control systems, including long-range radio remote control options.
For added safety and monitoring, our wire rope hoists can be equipped with onboard condition monitoring and integrated load indicators in the pendant control—essential features in today's safety-focused landscape. We also adapt certain hoists for use in Atex environments, providing explosion-proof solutions for Zone 1 and 2, commonly referred to as spark-proof or spark-resistant.
We proudly distribute products from renowned manufacturers such as Verlinde, Morris, Kone Cranes, Donati, and Yale. These high-quality products will soon be available for purchase or quoting on our website. Our comprehensive selection of overhead crane wire rope hoists is suitable for overhead workshop crane systems and monorail lifting beams, supporting capacities of up to 100 tonnes SWL across single girder, double girder, monorail, low headroom, and crab units.
Overhead electric wire rope hoists are used in many industry sectors for lifting, as replacement hoists for a new installation for the lifting of goods and equipment in a safe and controlled way. Different types and styles are; fixed mount (solid mounted) with monorail trolley, single girder / double girder short headroom (low headroom) and crab units. Wire rope hoists give a better duty cycle than a comparative electric chain hoist so are more suitable for heavy-duty use such as a production environment. They are also available with greater heights of lift and commonly supplied up to 100 tonnes.

Overhead electric wire rope hoists.
Donati DRH / DDE-3199
Request QuoteThe Donati DRH series of electric wire rope hoists are available with a wide variety of options, such as height of lift (hook path) from 4 to 58 metres and 1, 2 or 3 lifting speeds. Also mounting and trolley options can add versatility to the DRH series, some of the trolley options are; fixed mounted, suspended, single beam or twin beam low headroom trolley mounted.
Donati offers a 3-year guarantee on the DRH series of wire rope hoist, starting from the date of delivery, all at a reasonable price.
Tractel "Tirak" Wire Rope Lifting Hoists. 230v and 400v Options - Range from 300kg to 3000kg (non man-riding version)
Tractel Tirak electric hoist for material lifting applications, multiple configurations and infinite height of lift.
Tirak X Series / TX-3259
From £8.80Tirak X Series has an unlimited height of lift because the wire rope is not stored in the machine, centrifugal brake for controlled descent in case of power failure and pendant control with up/down and emergency stop.
Lighter than the T-series, the X-series are most suited for bosun's chairs, inspection harnesses, one-man cradles and light suspended platforms.
Verlinde "Eurobloc VTNH" Monorail Overhead Crane Hoist - Range from 800kg to 80000kg
Normal Headroom Electric Wire Rope Hoists.
Eurobloc VT NH / EWRH-756
Request Quote These crane wire rope hoists are very good quality and offer a massive range to suit nearly all applications; this wire rope hoist range offers mounting onto a runway beam (mono rail) and the features are excellent which include a two speed pole-change hoisting motors and D.C disc brake; limit switches (both up and down) low speed up approach, phase fault protection). Overload protection is standard as is variable speed travel motors; there are also a large range of optional extras to modify the wire rope hoist to suit most environments.
Verlinde "Eurobloc VTS" Short Headroom Monorail Overhead Crane Hoist - Range from 800kg to 12000kg
Short Headroom Electric Wire Rope Hoists.
Eurobloc VTS / EWRH-755
Request Quote These short headroom electric wire rope hoists are the ideal lifting solution where the distance between the lifting beam and the item to be lifted is restrictive (tight). The unique hoist design allows the user maximum lifting height for those tight to get to places. There are hundreds of possible configurations for these hoists which can be modified with a variety of options; hoisting speed, F.E.M. class, ISO group, block size, motor power, rail gauge, electrical options, electrical protections, special equipment adaptations etc.
Verlinde "Eurobloc VTF" Solid Mount Overhead Crane Hoist - Range from 800kg to 80000kg
Electric Wire Rope Hoists. (no trolley).
Eurobloc VTF / EWRH-754
Request QuoteMany options to choose from to create a solid mount (fixed) overhead crane wire rope hoist. Features include two speed pole-change hoisting motors (1:6) with bi-metal sensor and hoist D.C disc brake, maintenance free; they have 4 step gear limit switches (up, down, low speed up approach, phase fault protection) provided with overload protection and variable speed travelling motors: 2 to 20m/min (for hoist with trolley) and the hoist electrics cubicle including low voltage transformer. The motor protection is rated IP55 with an insulation class of F.
Verlinde "Eurobloc VTD" Double Girder Wire Hoist (crab unit) - Range from 800kg to 80000kg
Electric Wire Rope Hoists.
EWRH-757
Request QuoteA massive range of wire rope hoists for use in industrial overhead cranes. This type of lifting hoist do not mount onto a single girder crane bridge, they span between two girders with a pair of load wheels sitting on the top flange, hence the name double girder hoist. They are often used in higher capacity cranes with longer spans of crane bridge. Their other advantage is that the crane hook rises between the girders creating low headroom capability (very high raised hook position).

Alternative Hoists
Online at liftingsafety we also have a wide range of electric chain hoists which may prove to be a more suitable hoisting solution to an overhead crane system. Along with the electric chain hoists on-line, there are a complete range of different powered hoists such as a manually powered lever hoist or hand chain block, which are a very cost effective piece of equipment for hoisting. Also we can supply a variety of hydraulic and pneumatically powered hoists. The majority of hoists on offer are customisable to suit customer specification which can make them a very useful piece of equipment. If you are at all unsure about which particular hoist or type of hoist is best suited for your application, please feel free to contact us for assistance.
