Electric Chain Hoists
At Lifting Safety, our offerings extend far beyond a basic selection of electric chain hoists that you can easily buy online with fast and free delivery. In addition to our standard electric hoist lines, we pride ourselves on providing a fully customisable range of electrically powered hoisting systems. Notably, many of our solutions are uniquely tailored, featuring completely bespoke one-off designs, manufactured to meet specific needs and requirements.
We have affordable options available to suit most budgets and applications, from many of the leading quality hoist manufacturers, including Yale, Stahl, Hadef, Liftket, Donati, Tractel, Verlinde, Kito and many more.
Options available on the electric hoists that we offer, with respect to the basics (capacity, lift height, trolley, eye or hook suspension, or load chain type, etc.) 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.
The capacity or Safe Working Load (SWL) options available start from as little as 60kg, but then incrementally increase (125kg, 250kg, 500kg, 1-tonne, 1.5/1.6-tonne, 2-tonne, etc.) all of the way up to a huge 100-tonnes "as standard" (to pre-designed/defined plans - Again, special, bespoke one-off designs or modifications can be catered for and manufactured to order), with even higher capacities also possible.
Our quality 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, high performance or high-duty for example), dependant on user requirements.
Power Supply Options
By far, the greater majority of electric hoists available within the industrial marketplace are 400V or 415V. This is primarily because better duty cycles are possible with a 400/415-volt 3-phase power supply than with a 110V or 230V single-phase supply. This, in turn, can also increase productivity because the hoist can be operated for longer periods, but it can also extend the lifespan of the hoist itself. This is also the reason why lifting capacities are very limited with a 110V or 230V single-phase electrical supply.
Hoists to suit alternative voltages are also possible, so please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require a unit suitable for more specialist voltages, for example, 690V on a wind turbine or a voltage not mentioned here.
For those smaller or one-off jobs, we now also offer 18V battery-powered hoists that offer true portability.
To note: 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.

More Information About Electric Hoists
An electric hoist, with a mains-powered electric motor (generally 110V, 230/240V or 400/415V AC, though other more specialist or country-specific electrical currents are also possible) that utilises a chain to perform the lift, is often referred to by a more common term, 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, which could prove to be a better-suited option for more specific applications.
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, which then, in turn, can ease the user effort required, thus increasing productivity and possibly reducing the 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 the Delta DBH or the CM BatteryStar battery-powered hoist, though these are only available with 250kg, 500kg (See the Delta DBH), or 1000kg capacity (CM BatteryStar).
- Capacities range from 60kg up to 100 tonnes.
- A wide range of other unit-specific features, such as twin hooks or spark resistance, alternative voltages, for example.

Electric Chain Hoist Alternatives
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 underwater (sub-sea) for example.
