Chain Hoist
The chain hoist is ideal for applications in rough environments and requiring heavy duty equipment. This hoist requires low maintenance and has a load hauling range of 1/4 ton to 20 tons. It can also be outfitted with hand-geared, motorized, and push trolleys for additional applications. The electric chain hoist can be used in clean assembly applications including pharmaceutical and food processing. It has a long-lift application, which allows for work with windmill generators. It has a lifting speed of up to 128 fpm and incorporates a hand brake for steady lifting during windmill maintenance. Additional options available for the electric chain hoists include:
- Additional lift
- Radio control
- VFD (Variable frequency drive)
- Hoist overload protection
- Rotary limit switch
- Manipulator control
- Bullard or Sue-loc and insulated hooks

High duty cycles? No problem!
A foundry in Indiana was spending a lot of time and money maintaining it’s fleet of air hoists not to mention the downtime they were experiencing as a result. They had previously only used air hoists because of the heavy duty cycle of at capacity lifts. CraneWerks introduced the Harrington electric chain hoist to the foundry and gave them a demo unit to try for 30 days. With the 60 minute duty cycle of a Harrington Hoist the results were not surprising. The customer began to replace their entire fleet of air hoists with Harrington electric chain hoists and are currently enjoying the low maintenance benefits.
