Industrial Electric Chain Hoists

A chain hoist uses a load chain for lifting and is ideal for lower capacity, tougher environments due to its durability. A wire rope hoist uses a steel cable, offering smoother, faster lifts, and is better suited for higher capacities and longer lift heights. The choice depends on your specific application, duty cycle, and environment.

Our industrial electric hoists operate on 3-phase power, with standard options for 230V and 460V to match most US industrial facility electrical systems. It's crucial to confirm your facility's power supply before ordering to ensure compatibility. Our specialists can assist you in verifying your requirements.

Lead times vary by model. Many of our popular Harrington NER chain hoists ship within 2-4 weeks. Some wire rope models offer next-day shipping options. For the most accurate delivery estimate or to request expedited service, please contact our support team to confirm availability for your specific configuration.

Yes, custom lift heights are available for many of our hoist models, including the Harrington NER series. While we stock standard lifts of 10, 15, and 20 feet, we can configure a hoist to your exact vertical lifting requirements. Contact our specialists to discuss your custom specifications and receive a detailed quote.

Our electric chain hoists are engineered for a wide range of heavy-duty applications. They are commonly used in industrial manufacturing, warehouses, distribution centers, construction sites, and fabrication shops for material handling, assembly line processes, and loading and unloading heavy equipment or components.

To select the correct capacity, you must know the maximum weight of the load you intend to lift. Always choose a hoist with a capacity that exceeds your heaviest anticipated load to ensure a safe operational margin. Our hoists range from 1/8 ton to 20 tons. If you're unsure, our experts can help you calculate your needs.
