Electric Hoist Buying Guide- How to Choose The Best Electric Hoist?

An ‘Electric Hoist’, is a material handling and movement tool that is widely used in every manufacturing unit. It is also used in construction, factories, shop floors, cleaning industries as per the requirement.

The ‘Electric Hoist’ is the electrical version of the ‘Chain Pulley Blocks’ which are generally manual in nature. When we talk about the family of ‘Electric Hoists’, we must start our explanation with its application, its working, it alternates and should end up with the basic info like market share, sources, price range, best brands available etc. for efficient understanding.

Application of an Electric Hoists:

Electric Hoist, is just a lifting tool that lifts heavy equipment as a load in different industries. It can also move the same load front-end and back-end if trolley is attached.

Working of an Electric Hoists:

Electric Hoists are fitted with a beam/garter (iron bar) which must be capable of bearing the load that includes the self weight of the hoist as well as the load capacity of the hoist itself. And therefore the beam strength and beam dimension is a very crucial aspect  even before we plan to fit an electric hoist. An electric hoist actually does the vertical movement with the load capacity.

Though many industries prefer to make horizontal movement along with the vertical movement therefore we do add trolley with the hoist. Now here in this case what we generally do is fit the trolley with the beam/garter and once the trolley gets mounted then we add the hoist with the trolley. So what happens is, that the trolley does the horizontal movement of the load that is movement in frontward direction and backward direction and the hoist does the vertical movement of the load.

Alternates of an Electric Hoists:

A lot many users do get confused with alternates that are easily available in the market, like Winch Machines, Chain pulley Blocks, Pulling & Lifting Machines, Simple Hoists, Simple Trolleys etc. These items are generally used by well known technicians. 

• Generally a winch machine is a tool that is used to drag or pull horizontal loads.
• A chain pulley block can be fitted on a ceiling and then can be pulled vertically but it is generally manual.
• A pulling and lifting machine is quite similar to that of a winch machine. This can be used to pull the load horizontally. It can also be fixed at the roof and through the help of a pulley. It is also used to lift the load up.
• A simple hoist arrangement can be used to lift the load vertically.
• A simple trolley arrangement again can only be used to make the load move horizontally, either from left to right  or front-end to back-end or vice versa.
