This is the first time that Mr. Wellington choose to cooperate with us, Dongqi Group-Yuantai Cranes and Hoists for getting the electric chain hoists. Mr. Wellingtons engaged in paper industry production, he needs light and flexible lifting equipment, and initially hesitated to choose a electric chain hoist or a wire rope hoist for his application. Our sales manager Ms. Mia provided a detailed comparison of two hoist solutions for customers to select. Finally our customer chose the electric chain hoist with hook type.

Why choose an electric chain hoist?
- Electricity is almost universally available and inexpensive.
- Productivity, ergonomics, and safety are enhanced.
- They are normally smaller and more compact than wire rope hoists, as a drum is not required to store wire rope.
- Overload clutch to prevent dangerous overloads is normally standard.
- Portability is excellent as standard hook mounting allows simplified installation (Lug mount required on wire rope hoist to wrap rope on drum precisely).
- Lift can be changed at any time with minimal cost by simply changing chain length.
- Numerous configurations and speeds are available in lighter capacities.
- Chain tends to be a more durable lifting medium than wire rope.
- Headroom of chain hoists is often better.
- Fixed Chain hoists are normally less expensive than wire rope.
