Yale Electric Chain Hoists
Yale electric hoists provide a wide selection of options, ensuring both quality and variety. You can choose between a hook suspension or a monorail trolley, available in manual push/pull, manual geared, or electric configurations. These hoists come in capacities ranging from 125 kg to 10 tonnes (10,000 kg) and include five distinct models: CPS, CPV, CPE, BatteryStar, and LodeStar. Each model boasts its own unique features while maintaining high standards of quality.
We are a Yale authorised Master Distributor, which means we can supply and/or install any Yale electric hoist at a competitive price.
Yale is part of the CMCO Group (Columbus McKinnon Corporation), which is one of the world's largest and most professional lifting equipment manufacturers. All of the CE/UKCA-certified Yale electric hoists in the Columbus McKinnon range are available to us and presented to you here. The hoists manufactured by both CM and Yale provide an excellent range that can generally cover the majority of electric chain hoist enquiries.
We provide the Yale CPS electric chain hoist, a compact and lightweight option with a safe working load (SWL) of either 125kg or 250kg. The Yale CPV electric chain hoist range offers lifting capacities from 125kg to 5000kg (5 tonnes), while the CPE range accommodates loads from 1600kg to 10 tonnes, all available assembled to meet our customers' preferences. Additionally, we feature the Yale CM Lodestar electric chain hoist, which can be supplied with a top hook or monorail beam trolley that can either be manual or electrically powered. This range is also compatible with 400v 3-phase power and supports capacities from 250kg to 3 tonnes.
