Portable Electric Hoists

Hoists are available in 230V and 460V configurations, with most models running on 3-phase power. This flexibility allows the equipment to be integrated into a wide variety of existing facility electrical systems without requiring costly infrastructure changes.

Chain hoists generally ship in 2-4 weeks, while wire rope hoists vary by model—some ship next day or within a week, and select high-capacity Starke units (like the 15 Ton SMW) have a 10-12 week lead time. Contact a specialist to confirm exact timelines.

Chain hoists offer standard lift heights of 10', 15', and 20', with customization available. Wire rope hoists range from 20 ft to 40 ft. Custom lift heights can be arranged for both product types to fit specific overhead clearance and application needs.

Chain hoists can be configured with geared trolleys, motorized trolleys, push trolleys, or hook-mounted setups. The right choice depends on how much manual effort you want to save and whether the hoist needs to travel along a beam automatically or manually.

American Hoists supplies equipment from Harrington and Starke, two reputable manufacturers known for durability and reliability. Chain hoists are primarily Harrington NER Series, while wire rope hoists include Harrington RY series and Starke SMW series models.
