Why Choose a Chain Hoist or a Wire Rope Hoist?

Why Choose a Chain Hoist?

• Generally speaking, a chain hoist is a great way to lift lighter loads.
• The hoist units are lightweight and compact in size so they fit into many operations very well.
• They are versatile for many types of lifting jobs and are easy for operators to understand and use.
• Chain hoists are great options to replace the manual lifting process in assembly lines and other material handling areas.
• They provide a true vertical lift and are more forgiving to side pulls than wire rope hoists.
• Chain hoists can be lower in maintenance and repair costs, and be used in a variety of environments.

Why Choose a wire rope hoist?

• Electric wire rope hoists can lift the heaviest loads.
• They are a great option when you have long lift heights and high capacities that require accurate positioning.
• If the load is going to be supported for long periods of time, a wire rope hoist may be the right fit.
• When you need a hoist rated for severe duty, a wire rope hoist or winch can lift the load and meet your operational needs.

No matter what type of hoist you need, it is always important to choose the right equipment to do the job.

• Chain hoists are great pieces of equipment to handle light loads and can even replace manual material handling in your current processes.
• Wire rope hoists are the workhorses that can handle the heaviest capacities and make lifting heavy loads efficient.
