Yale CPE & CPEF Electric Chain Hoist

The capacity options available across the Yale CPE electric hoist range are as follows, which are all also available with single or dual lifting speeds; 1.6t, 2t, 2.5t, 3t, 3.2t, 4t, 5t, 7.5t and 10 tonne, all of which are available with various different suspension options such as hook suspension or by beam trolley, which can be manual or electric.

Standard CPE Hoist Features

• Classification 1 Am, except models CPE(F) 20-8, CPE(F) 30-5 and CPE(F) 40-4 classification 1 Bm.
• The standard version comes with direct control.
• 2-year warranty (excluding wear parts) as well as a lifetime lubricated gearbox.
• The motor is fitted with bimetallic thermal protection (usable in connection with optional low-voltage control).
• Duty cycle 40 % at one operating speed.
  The heavy-duty squirrel cage motor has an adjustable spring pressure brake that holds the load secure even in the event of a power failure.
• Motor protected to IP 54, insulation class F. Encapsulated pendant control protected to IP 65.
• Standard operating voltage: Euro-voltage 400 Volt, 3 phase, 50 Hz.
• The 5-pocket load chain sheave, manufactured from wear-resistant case hardening steel, is matched perfectly to the load chain to guarantee smooth and precise chain motion.
• The assembly of component parts results in a low overall height (up to 3000 kg only one chain fall).
• The standard oil bath lubricated planetary gearbox runs particularly smoothly.
• Forged suspension and load hooks, manufactured from non-ageing, high alloy tempering steel, yield under overload instead of breaking.
• The standard case-hardened and zinc-plated link chain is matched perfectly to the load chain to guarantee smooth and precise chain motion. All requirements of national and international standards and regulations are fulfilled.

The Yale CPE and CPE/F Suspension Types

• Top Hook Suspension.
• Push Travel Beam Trolley.
• Geared Travel Beam Trolley.
• Single Speed Electric Travel Beam Trolley - Yale VTE-U 11 m/min. Similar to the Yale VTE trolley, but with direct mounting instead of a shackle for hook-suspended hoists.
• Dual Speed Electric Travel Beam Trolley - Yale VTE/F-U 11/2.8 m/min.

The Yale CPE hoist series is a range of high-quality, heavy-duty hoists designed for professional applications. They are highly efficient and engineered for a long working life. The hoists are composed of three main component parts which makes service easy and inexpensive.

Additional Hoist Features

5-pocket load chain sheave machined for smooth, precise chain motion

Universal connection to suspension hook, trolley or steel structures

Double fall bottom block for capacities from 3.2t up to 5t

The hoist is connected directly to the trolley with an electric drive. Manual pull and geared trolleys are also available.

Optional CPE / CPEF Features

• 42v low voltage control
• Other operating voltages on request
• The suspension hook rotated 90°
• Motor with stainless steel brake
• Stainless steel load chain
• Flexible chain container made from wear-resistant textile fabric
• Limit switches for highest and lowest hook positions

Please note that chain collectors/containers offered shown are for linear metres of chain and are not the height of lift based. E.g. a 20-metre chain container for a 4-fall 10t CPE would only be adequate to suit a 5-metre height of lift (4 x 5-metre drops of chain).

Optional flexible chain container

What's the difference between a Yale CPE and a CPEF?

The Yale CPE hoist is a single-speed electric hoist whereas the CPEF or CPE/F is twin/dual speed with 1 fast speed and 1 slow speed. What these speeds are is dependent on the capacity of the hoist itself. e.g. the 1.6-tonne unit with dual lifting speeds would have a fast speed of 8 m/min and a slow speed of 2 m/min, whereas the 10-tonne CPEF would have a 2.5 m/min fast speed and a 0.6 m/min slow speed.
