Overhead Ceiling Storage Hoist Systems

A wire rope hoist uses a steel cable to lift loads and is ideal for heavier capacities (3-20+ tons) and applications requiring faster lifting speeds and longer lifts. A chain hoist uses a load chain and is typically more compact and cost-effective, suitable for lower capacity lifts (1/8-10 tons), lower-headroom applications, and environments where true vertical lift is not critical.

The required capacity depends on the maximum weight of the loads you intend to lift. It is crucial to select a hoist with a capacity rating that exceeds your heaviest load to ensure safety and compliance. We offer systems ranging from 1/8 ton for lighter tasks up to 20 tons for heavy industrial applications. Our specialists can help you determine the precise capacity for your needs.

Yes, we offer fully assembled bridge crane systems that are engineered, built, and tested before shipment. These systems arrive ready for installation on your runway, significantly reducing on-site assembly time and complexity. This ensures all components are perfectly matched for optimal performance and reliability, avoiding issues common with mismatched 'FrankenCrane' setups.

To provide an accurate quote, we need to know your required lifting capacity (in tons), lift height (in feet), bridge span, and runway type (top running or underhung). Additionally, details about the application, power supply (e.g., 460V-3-60), and desired control type (e.g., motorized trolley) will help our specialists configure the perfect system for your facility.

Our lead times are among the best in the industry. While standard delivery for some equipment can be up to 40 weeks, our fully assembled bridge cranes typically ship within 8-10 weeks. Many of our individual wire rope and chain hoists are in stock and may be available for immediate or next-day shipping. Always call to confirm availability for urgent orders.

ASME H4 is a duty cycle classification indicating the hoist is designed for heavy industrial use. This rating signifies that the equipment is built for high-frequency, heavy-load lifts and can withstand the demands of rigorous manufacturing or production environments. An H4 rating ensures enhanced durability, longer component life, and reliable performance under continuous operational stress.
