What Is an Electric Hoist?

An electric hoist is a motor-driven lifting device used to raise or lower loads using a drum or lift-wheel wrapped with rope or chain. It is typically mounted to:

  • Overhead I-beams

  • Gantry cranes

  • Bridge cranes

  • Jib arms or mobile frames

Electric hoists are preferred for their speed, consistency, and reduced manual effort, making them ideal for workshops, warehouses, and industrial facilities.

Types of Electric Hoists

1. Wire Rope Hoist

  • Higher load capacity (up to 100 tons)

  • Smooth, precise vertical movement

  • Suitable for long lifting heights

  • Often used with bridge or gantry cranes

2. Chain Hoist

  • Compact and lower-cost

  • Ideal for lighter loads (≤5 tons)

  • Easy to maintain

  • Often mounted on fixed I-beams or jib cranes

3. Explosion-Proof Hoist

  • Designed for flammable environments (e.g., chemical plants)

  • Spark-free motors and sealed wiring

  • Meets ATEX or IECEx standards

How to Choose the Right Hoist?

To choose the correct electric hoist for your workshop or plant, ask these questions:

✅ 1. What is the maximum load you need to lift?

  • Always select a hoist rated above your heaviest load to allow for safe margin.

✅ 2. How high and how often will you lift?

  • High-duty applications need stronger motors and better cooling.

  • Taller lifts benefit from wire rope models for smoother operation.

✅ 3. Where will it be installed?

  • Fixed position or mobile beam?

  • Indoor or outdoor? (Consider rustproofing for outdoor use.)

✅ 4. What power source is available?

  • Most industrial hoists run on 380V or 415V, but 220V single-phase versions exist for light use.
