Electric Chain Hoists

Discounted high quality, low cost electric hoists - SELS can supply an electrically powered hoist to suit almost any budget and application.

LiftingSafety offer in our online shop Electric chain hoists to suit most applications from many of the leading quality lifting equipment manufacturers including Yale, RWM, Donati, Tractel, Verlinde, Kito and many more to come in the near future. We are constantly looking for new manufacturers with additional lifting equipment features so that we will be able to cater for all our customers electric chain hoist requirements. Options for 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 the manorial beam. Our electric lifting hoists are fitted supplied hook suspension or with an integrated manual or powered trolley, they can be controlled by a push button pendant or by radio remote control. Options are available with slow, fast or variable lifting speeds, hoists can be supplied in voltages (power supplies) and bespoke electric chain hoists suitable for different environments dependant on our customers’ requirements. We sell low headroom electric chain hoists and hoists specifically designed for use on wind turbines and Atex areas. We appreciate that electric chain hoist represent a sizable investment and so if you are even a little unsure as to the most appropriate hoist please contact our sales or technical staff who will assist you accordingly.

7    Wind Turbine 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 if 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.

More Infomation

An electric hoist, with a mains powered electric motor (generally 110v, 240v or 415v DC) 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 wire rope hoists and scaffold hoists that could possibly prove to be a better suited hoist for the more specific hoisting 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 240v standard electrical power supply.
  • 3Ph (three phase) electric - Industrial 415v power supply.
  • Capacities ranging from 60kg up to 20000kg.
  • Wide range of other unit specific features such as twin hook 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 than with an electric chain hoist. 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.
