Electric chain Hoist

An electric chain hoist is a powered lifting device that uses an electric motor and load chain to raise and lower loads. Unlike a manual chain hoist that relies on hand pulling, it provides powered lifting for faster and less labor-intensive operation, making it suitable for workshops, warehouses, production lines, equipment installation and other applications where loads are lifted frequently.

Daikuhsa offers a broad range of electric chain hoists for different lifting capacities, installation conditions and operating requirements. The range covers capacities from 250 kg to 25,000 kg, including compact single-phase models for lighter loads and higher-capacity models for industrial lifting. Available configurations include hanging or fixed types, manual trolley types, electric trolley types and low-headroom designs, with single-speed and double-speed options available across different series.

Why Choose Our Electric Chain Hoist

Safety Features for Controlled Lifting

Safety is a key consideration when selecting an electric chain hoist. Depending on the model, Daikuhsa electric chain hoists are available with safety features such as braking systems, upper and lower limit switches, and overload protection. These features help control lifting and lowering operations and reduce the risk of overtravel or overloading.

Wide Lifting Capacity Range

Daikuhsa electric chain hoists cover load capacities from 250 kg to 25,000 kg, providing options for both light-duty material handling and higher-capacity industrial lifting. Multiple capacity levels are available across different series, allowing users to select a hoist according to the actual load rather than using an unnecessarily oversized unit.

Single and Double Speed Options

Different lifting operations require different levels of speed control. Single-speed models provide straightforward lifting and lowering, while double-speed electric chain hoists allow slower movement when more controlled load positioning is required. This makes it easier to match the hoist to general material handling, equipment installation, assembly and other lifting tasks.

Flexible Installation and Trolley Options

Daikuhsa electric chain hoists are available in hanging or fixed, manual trolley, electric trolley and low-headroom configurations. Fixed types are suitable for vertical lifting at a set position, while trolley-mounted models allow the load to travel along a beam. Low-headroom options are available where vertical installation space is limited, helping maximize the usable lifting height.

Electric Chain Hoist FAQs

Q: How do I choose the right electric chain hoist?

Start with the maximum load you need to lift. The hoist’s rated capacity should be suitable for the actual load and lifting conditions. You should also consider lifting height, power supply, lifting speed, frequency of use and installation method. If the hoist needs to travel along a beam, a manual or electric trolley may be required. For applications with limited vertical clearance, a low-headroom model may be more suitable.

Q: What is the difference between a fixed electric chain hoist and a trolley type?

A fixed electric chain hoist lifts the load vertically from a fixed suspension point. A trolley-type hoist can also move horizontally along a compatible beam. Manual trolleys are moved by hand, while electric trolleys use a motor for powered travel. The appropriate configuration depends on whether the load only needs vertical lifting or needs to be moved between different positions.

Q: When should I choose a double-speed electric chain hoist?

A double-speed electric chain hoist is useful when an application requires both efficient lifting and more controlled positioning. The higher speed can be used for normal lifting and lowering, while the lower speed provides finer control when positioning a load near its final location. This can be particularly useful in assembly, equipment installation and other operations where positioning accuracy matters.
