Electric Chain hoists have significant advantages and are widely favored. They are easy to operate. The design of the handle and buttons is reasonable, allowing even beginners to quickly get the hang of it. They are also safe and reliable, equipped with multiple precise protection mechanisms. Once overloaded, they will immediately alarm and stop running. Their environmental adaptability is excellent. Thanks to special protection and a stable power system, they can operate stably even in harsh environments. The speed adjustment is flexible. The lifting and lowering speeds can be adjusted according to the tasks and goods, and the lifting height can be adjusted by adding or subtracting the length of the chain. Their structure is simple and durable, with few failures and low maintenance costs. So, how to select a chain hoist that meets your own needs?
1. Determine the Lifting Requirements
Clearly identify the weight of the heaviest object that needs to be lifted. The rated lifting capacity of the selected chain hoist must be greater than or equal to the actual weight, and a margin should be reserved to ensure operational safety and the service life of the equipment.
2. Determine the Lifting Height
Accurately measure the maximum vertical height that the heavy object needs to be lifted to, and ensure that the selected product matches the vertical space of the workplace.
3. Consider the Working Environment
Indoor and Outdoor: The indoor environment is relatively stable, and the requirement for the protection level is not high. For outdoor use, however, emphasis should be placed on rainproof, sunproof, and dustproof measures. Select a product with a protection level of IP54 or higher.
Corrosive Environment: In places like chemical enterprises, choose a chain hoist with an anti-corrosion coating and made of corrosion-resistant materials (such as stainless steel chains).
Special Temperature Environment: In cold storage or high-temperature workshops, consider the applicable temperature range of the chain hoist.
4. Choose the Power Type
Electric Type: When there is sufficient power supply at the workplace and frequent lifting operations are required, the electric chain hoist is highly efficient, with stable lifting and lowering speeds and precise control, making it the first choice.
Manual Type: When there is no power supply, or when the requirements for lifting speed and frequency are low and the lifted items are light, the manual chain hoist is more suitable due to its low cost and being not restricted by the power source.
5. Consider the Working Frequency and Continuous Working Time
For long-term and high-frequency operations, such as loading and unloading in large logistics warehouses, it is necessary to select a product with a high working level and good heat dissipation performance. Such a chain hoist can handle frequent starts and stops, and its components have stronger durability.
6. Consider the Installation Method and Space Limitations
Consider whether the chain hoist will be fixed in one place or need to operate on a track. If it is a mobile operation, select a suitable running trolley and track system. Combine the layout of the workplace to ensure that after installation, it will not affect other work processes and there is sufficient space for lifting operations.
In conclusion, to choose a suitable chain hoist, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors, closely combine your own needs with the characteristics of the product, select a high-quality product, ensure work efficiency and safety.
