Cargo Box Hoists

The required capacity depends on the maximum weight of the cargo you intend to lift. We offer a wide range from 1/8 ton for lighter tasks up to 20 tons for heavy industrial applications. It is crucial to select a hoist with a capacity rating that exceeds your heaviest expected load to ensure safe operation. Our specialists can help you determine the right capacity for your specific needs.

Yes, our hoists are engineered for demanding environments. Many models, such as the Starke SMW series, carry an ASME H4 duty class rating, signifying they are built for heavy industrial use and long service life. They are designed for reliability in continuous or near-continuous operations common in American manufacturing facilities, ensuring maximum uptime for your production line.

Wire rope hoists are ideal for faster lifting speeds, higher capacities, and longer lifts, making them suitable for heavy manufacturing. Chain hoists are more compact, cost-effective, and excellent for applications requiring true vertical lift and durability in harsher environments. The choice depends on your specific application's speed, precision, and capacity requirements.

Our electric cargo box hoists are designed for industrial power systems and are commonly available in 230V and 460V 3-phase configurations. This compatibility ensures they can be integrated into most manufacturing and warehouse electrical setups in the United States. Always verify your facility's power supply before ordering to ensure correct configuration.
