Why Choose IEHC

IEHC helps buyers compare hoist configurations against real installation constraints instead of selecting by lifting capacity alone. Share your load, lifting height, duty cycle, power supply, beam information and operating environment, and our team will help identify a practical YJ configuration.

Our range supports standalone lifting as well as integration with monorails, jib cranes and production equipment. Clear technical communication helps reduce specification errors before ordering.

Typical Applications

Production Line Handling

Repeatable lifting and positioning of parts, tooling and assemblies at manufacturing workstations.

Monorail and Jib Crane Systems

Fixed or traveling hoist configurations for material movement along beams and local lifting stations.

Low-Headroom Installations

Compact lifting arrangements for workshops and facilities where vertical clearance is limited.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which electric chain hoist configuration should I choose?

Choose fixed type for stationary lifting, running type for beam travel, low-headroom type where vertical clearance is limited, and coaxial configurations when the installation arrangement calls for a compact integrated design.

What information is required for hoist selection?

Provide rated load, lifting height, desired speed, duty cycle, power supply, control voltage, suspension or beam details, operating environment and any dimensional limits.

Can lifting height and voltage be customized?

Available options depend on the selected model. Send the required lifting height, supply voltage and frequency so IEHC can confirm a suitable configuration.

Can the hoist work with a monorail or jib crane?

Yes, suitable models can be selected for fixed suspension or combined with traveling mechanisms. Beam dimensions and system layout should be confirmed before ordering.

How should an electric chain hoist be maintained?

Follow the operating manual and a scheduled inspection program covering the chain, hook, brake, controls, electrical connections and load-bearing components. Maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel.

How to Choose

Selecting an electric chain hoist starts with the complete lifting task, not capacity alone. Use the following checklist to compare models and prepare an accurate inquiry.

1. Define the rated load

Confirm the heaviest load and include lifting fixtures, slings, spreader beams or other below-the-hook devices. Allow an appropriate engineering margin, but do not oversize unnecessarily because capacity affects dimensions, weight, speed and supporting structure requirements.

2. Measure lifting height and available space

Specify the required vertical hook travel, the distance from the supporting point to the highest hook position, and any restrictions around the machine. Low-headroom models are especially useful where maximum hook height is important.

3. Choose fixed or traveling operation

A fixed hoist lifts at one station. A running model adds horizontal movement along a beam. For traveling applications, provide beam flange width, beam profile, curve requirements, travel distance and preferred travel speed.

4. Determine duty and speed

Estimate lifts per hour, average load, daily operating time and whether long continuous runs are expected. State whether one lifting speed, dual speed or another operating profile is required. Duty information helps avoid selecting a hoist that is unsuitable for the workload.

5. Confirm electrical and control requirements

Provide supply voltage, frequency, phase and required control voltage. Also identify pendant, remote or integrated machine control, the number of functions and any interlocks required by the system.

6. Describe the operating environment

Include indoor or outdoor use, ambient temperature, humidity, dust, moisture, corrosive exposure and installation altitude. Special environments may require additional protection or a different product configuration.

7. Plan installation and maintenance

Verify that the supporting structure is designed for the hoist and dynamic load. Ensure access for chain inspection, lubrication, brake checks and electrical maintenance. Installation, commissioning and periodic inspection should be performed by qualified personnel.

Information to send IEHC

For a faster recommendation, send rated load, lifting height, headroom limit, fixed or traveling arrangement, beam dimensions, duty cycle, lifting speed, voltage, control method, environment and required quantity.
