How to select the right chain hoist?

On selecting the right chain hoists for application, the following factors needs to be confirmed:

• Capacity of low profile chain hoists: the maximum weights of the loads you intend to lift at present and in the future
• Lift of low profile chain hoists: length of lifting chain your hoist needed.
• Lifting Speed of low profile chain hoists: the speed of the load being lifted which may be confined by the features of loads and surrounding environment -what if the load is fragile or in the hazardous environments, or there is no enough space for lifting loads safely?
• Voltage & Power of low profile chain hoists: The correct voltage of power source needs to be confirmed for the wrong voltage can damage the new electric chain hoist instantly and this is not covered by warranty.
• Pendant Control Cable Length: Customized based on specific needs and requirements
• Trolley selection of low profile chain hoists: Plain trolley, geared trolley or motorized trolley?
• I Beam Flange Width: An I-beam, also known as H-beam, W-beam or WF-beam is a beam with an I- or H-shaped cross-section.

Once the above information be confirmed, the main parameters needed for the quotation of an electric chain fall hoists is confirmed.
