Yale's Best Selling Electric Chain Hoist
The Yale CPV electric hoist is Yale's best-selling chain hoist. It has held this title for many years. This is because of its modern design and technical improvements. Its strong and durable design makes it a useful tool for many professional tasks.
The built-in limit switch helps control the highest and lowest hook positions. This feature greatly improves the lifespan of the slip clutch, motor, and gearbox. As a result, it boosts efficiency in your lifting operations.
Standard CPV and CPVF Features
- Classification 1 Am/M4. For 1-phase hoists: 1 Bm/M3. As required (with appropriate changes to lifting capacity resp. duty cycle), the model CPV can also be re-classified up to 3m/M6.
- Main contactor as standard on every Yale CPV electric chain hoist, for increased safety.
- Increased operating safety through 42V LVC (low voltage control), push-button pendant control, and IP 65.
- 360-day warranty (excluding wear parts) and a lifetime lubricated gearbox.
- The electromagnetic spring pressure brake holds the load safely even in the event of a power failure.
- Motor protected to IP 55 (acc. to VDE 0530), against ingress of dust and water jets.
- Suspension lug for compact dimensions and easy integration in closed-eye constructions. The hoists are also available with top hook suspension.
- Engineers designed the easily adjustable slip clutch to guarantee a permanent connection between the load and the brake.
- The standard, oil bath lubricated and case-hardened gearbox has helical gearing for particularly smooth running and enhanced lifetime. The models CPV/F 2-8 and 5-4, CPV 2-4 and 5-2, as well as CPV/F 25-8 and 50-4 have a sealed gearbox with lifetime lubrication.
- All-steel chain guide. The CPV/F 2-8 and 5-4 models, along with CPV 2-4 and 5-2, have a thermoplastic (POM) chain guide. This guide is part of the housing.
Optional CPV Hoist Features
- Stainless steel load chain (no reduction of working load limit).
- Stainless steel load hooks for single fall hoists.
- Food industry-approved gearbox lubricants.
- Suspension hook or lug.
- Manual or electric travelling trolley.
- Flexible chain container.
- Other operating voltages.
- Counter for operating hours and number of starts.
- Radio remote control.
- Control for synchronised operation of several hoists.
- Festooned cable systems and alternative power supplies.
- Suspension for light crane systems.
Yale CPV and Yale CPVF Hoists: What's the difference?
The difference is quite simple. The Yale CPV hoist is a single-speed 400V electric hoist. The Yale CPVF electric chain hoist or CPV/F has two speeds: one fast and one slow. This makes the CPVF better for positioning tasks that need a slower speed.
What the lifting speeds are depends on the hoist's capacity.
For example, the 1-tonne single fall unit has two lifting speeds. Its fast speed is 8 m/min, and its slow speed is 2 m/min. The 2-tonne CPVF has a fast speed of 4 m/min and a slow speed of 1 m/min.
In this case, the 1-tonne, 1-fall unit lifts at half the speed of the 2-tonne, 2-fall unit. This happens because the base unit is the same. However, Yale change the bottom hook block to a 2-tonne hook.
This change enables the reeving of the load chain back to the hoist body. As a result, the 1-tonne, 1-fall unit effectively becomes a 2-fall unit that doubles its capacity. But this also means that the lifting speed decreases to half.
Looking at the table on the Technical Specifications tab above, you will see other instances of this. e.g. 250kg 1-fall is also the base unit for the 500kg 2-fall version (again with the bottom hook block replaced with a 0.5t one).

Yale Chain Hoists: General Information
Yale chain hoists convince owners and operators alike through their compact, elegant design, low tare weight and robust construction.
A precision-machined, case-hardened load chain sheave fits perfectly with the load chain. An oil-bath lubricated gearbox has hardened gears and high-quality encapsulated bearings. This design ensures smooth and quiet operation.
The adjustable slip clutch is designed as a safety device. It requires little maintenance and protects against overruns at both high and low load hook positions.
The pendant control is fitted with an emergency-stop switch as standard.
Forged suspension and load hooks, manufactured from non-ageing, high alloy tempering steel, yield under overload instead of breaking.
Apart from the stationary configurations (hook suspension), manual push, geared and electric trolleys are available. The trolleys are suitable for all commercial beam profiles e.g. INP, IPE and IPB.
The electric trolleys are fitted with a self-braking worm gearbox. The surface-protected, high-strength load chains meet national and international standards (DIN EN 818).
Alternative Yale electric hoists come in different sizes. They can lift up to 10 tonnes. You can choose from various operating voltages and special features. Additionally, there are many brands of electric hoist from well-known global makers and new companies.
Important: Yale hoists and trolleys are not made for lifting people. Do not use them for this purpose.
