Electric hoists, or electric chain hoist are electric motor-powered devices that assist applications by lifting, lowering, or pulling loads that are too heavy for humans to safely lift themselves.
Electric chain hoists are used for lifting or lowering material. An electric motor and controller are utilized to lift, lower and accelerate or decelerate the speed of the hoist. Electric hoists are ideal for use in industrial production lines and small machine shops where more frequent and faster lifting is required.
