A chain hoist can be either manually operated using a rotating hand guide, or electrically powered. A manual chain hoist is ideal for use in environments where electricity is not available. They are also an economical solution when there is no need for daily operation.
An electric chain hoist typically operates using a motor powered pulley to raise and lower the load chain to the required height. The load chain will have a hook on the end for easy attachment to the load. A chain bag is attached to the casing of the hoist, to catch excess chain as the load is lifted up.
The hoist is controlled using a pendant or remote, which extends on a lead down from the hoist to the operator. This pendant control will have buttons which control lifting and lowering, as well as an emergency stop button for safety. An electric chain hoist is the easiest way to perform a safe and controlled lift.
