How to choose the right electric hoist?

In the lifting industry, there are many different types of electric hoists, including wire rope hoists, chain hoists, miniature hoists, and explosion-proof hoists. While electric hoists all serve the same purpose, their applications vary. So, how do we choose the right electric hoist for each scenario?

From a price perspective, chain hoists are more susceptible to the length of the load-bearing element than wire rope hoists. Therefore, for a given lifting capacity and motor power, there is a "limit." Below this limit, a chain hoist is used, while above this limit, a wire rope hoist is more cost-effective.

Considering the layout of the electric hoist, if the hoist must be suspended from a hook, a chain hoist is generally chosen. This is because the chain of this type of hoist always exits from the same position, preventing lateral movement. Under load, it maintains a stable and balanced position, thus preventing the tilting and tangling caused by the swaying rope, as with wire rope hoists.

Considering voltage, if you're looking for an electric hoist suitable for 220V household use, you should opt for a mini electric hoist.
