Warehouse Lifting Equipment and Machines

A wire rope hoist uses a steel cable wound around a grooved drum, ideal for high-speed, long-lift applications and smoother lifting. A chain hoist uses a chain and is typically more durable and cost-effective for lower-capacity, tougher environments. Wire rope offers higher speeds and precision, while chain hoists provide robust performance for heavy-duty, shorter-lift tasks.

To provide an accurate quote, we need to know the required capacity (in tons), the bridge span (the width of the working area), lift height, and whether you need a top-running or underhung system. Details about the runway structure and power supply (e.g., 460V 3-phase) are also crucial for ensuring the crane system meets your facility's specific requirements.

Shipping times vary by product. Many of our in-stock wire rope hoists and crane kits can ship in as little as 10 days, with some models available for next-day shipping. Our fully assembled bridge cranes have an industry-leading 8-10 week lead time. We recommend calling a specialist to confirm exact availability and lead times for your specific order.

Absolutely. Our equipment is specifically engineered for demanding industrial applications. Many of our products, like the Starke SMW series, are ASME H4 rated, signifying they are built for heavy-duty service and long-term reliability in manufacturing plants, fabrication shops, and other challenging environments that require continuous, reliable lifting performance.

Our electric wire rope and chain hoists are available in standard US industrial power configurations to ensure compatibility with your facility. The most common options are 230V 3-phase and 460V 3-phase. We recommend checking the specific product details or consulting with one of our specialists to confirm the power requirements for the model you are interested in.

Yes, we offer fully assembled bridge cranes that ship ready for installation. These systems, engineered by Harrington, include the bridge, hoist, and controls, avoiding mismatched components. This cohesive design simplifies installation—just place it on your runway, connect the power, and you are ready to begin lifting operations, significantly reducing setup time.
