Low Headroom Hoist to Save Your Space and Cost
Low Headroom Electric Chain Hoists for Low Ceilings & Limited Space Workshops

The low profile electric chain hoists is developed on the basis of standard electric chain hoists, but with super low profile hoist design and offering increased lifting height, which can raise the loads nearly up to the beam girder of the supporting structure. The low headroom chain hoists are widely welcomed in almost every sector due to the features of super low profile design, compact structure, easy and ease operation, stable and reliable performance.

For workshops with low ceiling heights and limited space every centimetre of the overhead space or clearance should be valued to offer the lifting height desired. The electric chain hoist with low headroom design and low profile motorized trolley will be an ideal and cost-effective hoisting solution for the tricky application.

How to select the right chain hoist?

On selecting the right chain hoists for application, the following factors needs to be confirmed:

• Capacity of low profile chain hoists: the maximum weights of the loads you intend to lift at present and in the future
• Lift of low profile chain hoists: length of lifting chain your hoist needed.
• Lifting Speed of low profile chain hoists: the speed of the load being lifted which may be confined by the features of loads and surrounding environment -what if the load is fragile or in the hazardous environments, or there is no enough space for lifting loads safely?
• Voltage & Power of low profile chain hoists: The correct voltage of power source needs to be confirmed for the wrong voltage can damage the new electric chain hoist instantly and this is not covered by warranty.
• Pendant Control Cable Length: Customized based on specific needs and requirements
• Trolley selection of low profile chain hoists: Plain trolley, geared trolley or motorized trolley?
• I Beam Flange Width: An I-beam, also known as H-beam, W-beam or WF-beam is a beam with an I- or H-shaped cross-section.

Once the above information be confirmed, the main parameters needed for the quotation of an electric chain fall hoists is confirmed.
