LiftingSafety offers a wide range of high-quality scaffold hoists, primarily sourced from Imer, a leading manufacturer based in Italy. These scaffold hoists are incredibly versatile and suited for various industries, all while maintaining competitive pricing. Compared to other available lifting equipment, our scaffold hoists deliver exceptional lifting capabilities that are more cost-effective.

Specifically designed for construction sites, wire rope scaffold hoists efficiently lift materials, tools, and equipment from the ground to the desired working height. Often referred to as builder hoists, these devices are essentially wire rope lifting hoists that are perfect for outdoor use. Each hoist typically comes with a bracket and clamps for secure attachment to scaffolding or scaffold towers. The innovative design includes a cantilevered bracket that allows the load to swing above the working platform once raised.

Numerous brackets and fixing methods are available, including a counterweight gantry system, which stands independently and needs no additional fasteners. Builder's wire rope lifting hoists generally operate on single-phase power—230V in Europe and 110V in the UK—though we also provide 415V options for larger capacities. The lifting ranges for scaffold hoists can accommodate loads from 100kg to 500kg.

When it comes to performance, scaffold and builder hoists feature fast lifting speeds of around 18 meters per minute and can reach heights of up to 100 meters. Selecting the right scaffold hoist involves considering several key features: the height of lift (HOL) is crucial for accessing your working platform from the floor, and lifting speed matters since prolonged lifts can impact costs. Ensure the hoist has sufficient lifting capacity; it's wise to choose a hoist with at least 20% greater capacity than the typical load you'll be lifting, in line with the commonly accepted 80% rule.

Scaffold Hoists

An electric scaffold hoist, also commonly referred to as a builders hoist, scaffold lift and electric scaffold winch, is designed to be used suspended from a building scaffold to lift building materials to the tradesmen, saving both time, effort and money, though they do also have many other uses across all industries and because they are designed to be used outdoors, they are portable, have high heights of lift and very fast lifting speeds.

Scaffold hoist Accessories

Some of these scaffold hoist accessories come as standard with some of the hoists that we sell online. Accessories are to make the lift easier, safer and sometimes they make a lift possible where otherwise it would not be. We offer Buckets for lifting tools and equipment etc, bucket carriers and scaffold wheel barrows. We also sell specialist anchorage points for creating a lift through a window or between two floors of a building. A counterbalanced scaffold gantry will give you a free standing independent lifting facility that will not need clamping to a structure or bolting to a floor.

General Information About Our Scaffold Hoists

Our builders' hoists come in different safe working loads up to 500kg though most of the options available are up to 250kg, the reason being that generally the scaffold will be put under a great deal of stress and subjected to massive turning moments when larger load are lifted.

A scaffold hoist is a piece of lifting equipment which generally uses a small swing jib arm that cantilevers out from the scaffolding, the load is then lifted and the arm is then rotated and the load is placed on the working platform.

Our Gantry hoists use a scaffold hoist to lift the load and are available at 300kg and 500kg capacity. Gantrys are free-standing and not connected to the scaffolding, the arm/hoist will still cantilever over the edge of the working area though this us supported by counterweights/ballast weights.

When choosing a builders hoist the main features to consider are the height of lift required, the speed of lift required, supply electric voltage 230v/110v 1Ph, 415v, the reach of the scaffold arm, and scaffold fixings.

All our hoists are CE certified though it is the responsibility of the user to ensure suitability of the scaffolding or support structure.

Online we also sell a full range of chain hoists which are more suitable for heavy industry. Other hoisting methods are: Lever operated; hand operated; electric; and pneumatic.
