Electric Chain Hoists
LiftingSafety offer in our online shop a range of electric chain hoists with affordable options available to suit most budgets and applications, from many of the leading quality hoist manufacturers including Yale, Stahl, Hadef, Donati, Tractel, Verlinde, Kito and many more.
Options available on 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 a crane or runway beam.
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.
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, 240v or 415v AC) 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 possibly prove to be a better-suited hoist for the more specific 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, 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.
- 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.
