What is an electric chain hoist?
An electric chain hoist is a device for vertically lifting and lowering loads or materials. The electric hoist is made up of an electric motor with a brake, a gearbox, a load chain wheel, and a controller to control the system’s motions. These motorized chain hoists are ideal for use in factories and machine shops where items must be lifted and loaded quickly.

How does an electric chain hoist work?
Electric chain hoists use an induction motor and a brake to make sure the load is held while being lifted, allowing for the safe lifting of heavy loads. Electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy by the motor, which can subsequently lift the load or object. In addition to a motor that runs unusually, it has a brake with an interlocking system. When the electric chain hoist is running, the energy supply to the brake will be removed, but when the motor is turned off, the supply is automatically provided, and the brake will restart—ensuring that the hoist load can be supported. The inconvenience, frustration, and time spent moving big goods are almost eliminated.

An electric chain hoist is a sturdy lifting equipment used to transport heavy loads. It is required in construction, docks, warehouses, factories, assembly-line production activities, and many other places. An electric chain hoist is a safe way to move load materials.

You can transfer large objects between locations rapidly with the use of a motorized chain block. It is constructed from high-quality materials appropriate for many industrial services, such as loading and unloading cargo, maintaining machinery, and lifting workpieces. Every piece of machinery has advantages and disadvantages.

Everyone should be aware of the following benefits and drawbacks of using an electric chain hoist:

Advantages of electric chain hoist


Electric chain blocks are adaptable, silent, and reasonably priced. You can easily raise a variety of loads with the help of this equipment, which increases their popularity and efficiency.
The electric chain fall hoist is more reliable than the hydraulic one for lifting heavy objects. By pressing the button, you may easily raise the heavy items.
Using a powered chain hoist can ease the burden of lifting and moving large objects. Regular use helps to keep the product in good shape.
With its impressive loading capabilities, it can substantially stimulate the operation while lowering overhead costs. The device helps the company produce more products and seize several revenue-boosting chances.
The powered chain hoist has a better capacity and efficiency. It operates well if you maintain the tool properly. A further benefit of the hoist is that it helps you save money on labor costs by reducing the number of employees you need.
Electric chain hoists can move objects more quickly than wire rope hoists between locations. You can utilize it for construction at various locations and gain a lot of advantages.

  • Original guide chain: The original guide chain is an essential component of the electric chain hoist and is designed to allow the load chain to freely lift and fall the loading material.
  • Suction rotary motor brake: A suction rotary motor brake made of non-asbestos material can effectively and efficiently stop the hoist from running when there is no or insufficient power supply. In general, only an alternate or direct current brake installed can stop the brake work while the power is off and the hoisting work while the power is on, preventing the load from falling due to a motor-closed circuit.
  • High-frequency motor with a cooling fan: A high-frequency motor with a cooling fan improves short-time and repeated rating. Aside from that, the class F insulation motor allows for high-frequency operation. A cooling fan is required in a high-frequency motor to keep it cool and allow it to perform better than ever. This is yet another critical component of an electric chain hoist machine.
  • Low-noise transmission gear: The precise spiral gears made of intensive alloy are soaked in machine oil. This allows the electric chain hoist to operate quietly for a longer period of time. Because there are strict laws against noise and environmental pollution, the operating company will not face any legal issues.
  • Upper Limit Switch: An upper limit switch is a type of switch that is useful in preventing goods from being lifted. If any material or goods are overloaded, the switch activates, bringing the working hoist to a halt. This serves as a safety precaution and also helps the operator gain confidence in the machine’s operation. These switches are required for a heavy load lifting machine.
  • Canvas chain bag: The canvas chain bag included with the electric chain hoist is extremely durable. The robustness of the chain bag is one of the machine’s most important and powerful features. You can keep your mind clear about its repair or replacement.
  • The intensive aluminum case, which is originally molded, is light in nature and has a noticeable appearance that is quite appealing to catch one’s attention.
  • Special Overload Protection device: The newly designed device with friction clutch soaked in the oil helps prevent the machine from getting extremely rolling up or being overloaded. A specific advanced machine is used for such purposes because it can be controlled easily. Overloading or extreme rolling can make a lifting process unsafe, and there could be a loss of humans and resources at the same time.
  • Convenient examination and maintenance: The control cover is permanently attached, and the hinge is accessible for maintenance or spot inspection. The electric switch groups are all mounted on the same board. As a result, using switches becomes simple and convenient, and one can quickly grasp the machine’s operating procedure.
  • Emergency stop button: In an emergency, operators can turn off the power by pressing the emergency stop button. It will immediately cut off the power supply to the machine, and the chances of complexes changing are increased.
  • Durable buttons: The buttons are simple to use because they are designed to control the low voltage to provide security. IP65 is the level of protection.
  • Bottom hook: It’s hot forging at full strength that’s difficult to break. The lower hook’s operation safety is ensured by its 360-degree rotation system and safety tongue piece.

We have compiled a comprehensive guide on how to choose a powered chain hoist, here are some key points:

Engineers and workers can choose an electric hoist that meets their lifting needs by considering factors like the rated capacity, working load limit, and duty cycles.

Rated Capacity-What weight will you be lifting, and what capacity is required?
The rated capacity of an electric chain hoist is the maximum weight it can support before buckling. It is determined by the motor’s capacity, the rigidity of the electric hoist assembly, and the strength of the load chain or wire rope.

What is the height of the lift?
The lift height required for your lifting task is also an important consideration. Your proposed building is the most significant constraint in this regard. Don’t assume that just because your building is a certain height, you’ll be able to reach the same height in the lift. Before making any decisions, determine the size of both your lifting structure and your chain hoist or electric wire rope hoist. If you are unsure about any terms, consult with a lifting professional. Errors at this stage of your progress can be very costly and can be avoided with a simple phone call.

Duty Cycle
Wear becomes more likely as the worker uses the hoist more frequently. The duty cycle of a hoist is the amount of time it can operate under normal conditions and parameters. For example, an electric hoist should only be used for one minute and then turned off for 99 minutes; thus, the duty cycle is 1/100 or 1%. Using a hoist outside of its duty cycle can accelerate wear and reduce service life.

Lifting Speed -What lifting speed do you require?
Lifting speed refers to how quickly a load is lifted or lowered from its original position. An electric hoist can have a fixed or variable lifting speed that the hoist controller controls. Slower speeds are used when the load is fragile, heavy, or requires precise positioning. Faster speeds are used in manufacturing and transportation. Loading and unloading of products are done at moderate speeds.

Travel Speed
The travel speed of a trolley refers to how quickly it traverses a specific distance to move the load. An electric chain hoist can have a fixed travel speed or an adjustable travel speed that is controlled by the hoist controller.

Voltage supply of electric chain hoists
An understanding of supply voltage is critical in choosing the right one. At DQCRANES, we provide customized voltage designs for your applications.

Beams
Beams make up the bridge on which the trolley is mounted and traverses. The bridge and its structural frame must be rigid and long-lasting enough to withstand the combined weight of the electric hoist and the object to be lifted. For the electric chain hoist to travel smoothly, the specifications and dimensions of the beam and the electric chain hoist trolley must be compatible. I-Beams, wide-flange beams, and patented track beams are the most common types of beams used in hoisting applications.

What kind of material will the electric chain hoist be lifting?
Everyday objects that need to be moved from one location to another can be lifted with ease, but what if your load is a little unusual, like an asymmetrical load? What impact will it have on the specifications of your electric hoist and lifting machinery? Are there any risky environmental issues to take into account, too? Be as upfront and honest with your service provider as possible in this regard. Failure to communicate potential risks can waste productivity, money, and time, as well as endanger the safety of individuals using the lifting equipment.

How often will the electric chain hoist be in operation?
You must ascertain how frequently the electric chain hoist will operate each day before purchasing. Also, take into account the length of each cycle. Your electric chain hoist’s function must be prominently marked. The level of safety and effectiveness of your electric chain hoist will be determined by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) or FEM (European Materials Handling Federation), which are recognized authorities in this respect.
