Key Advantages
✔ Reliable Indian-made lifting equipment
✔ Quality construction and testing
✔ Competitive pricing
✔ Range of capacities and options
✔ Local support and parts availability
1. Electric Chain Hoist (Without Trolley)
• Standard electric chain hoist for vertical lifting without horizontal travel
• Capacities available like 1 ton, 2 ton, 3 ton, 5 ton, 7.5 ton, 10 ton, etc.
• Good for fixed lifting applications where horizontal movement is not needed.
2. Electric Chain Hoist With Electric Trolley
- Electric chain hoist + motorised trolley for horizontal movement along a beam
- Suitable for workshops and material handling lines
- Available in multiple capacities (e.g., 1 ton to 10 ton).
3. Electric Chain Hoist With Manual / Geared Trolley
• Chain hoist with manual/geared trolley (pull-push travel)
• Offers horizontal motion without motorised trolley
• Often used in less frequent lateral movement situations.
4. Heavy Capacity Electric Chain Hoists
• Larger capacity models like 7.5 ton and 10 ton with trolley options
• Designed for heavier industrial lifting needs.
5. Double / Synchronized Chain Hoists
✔ A Synchronized Chain Hoist is a system where two or more chain hoists are electrically linked and controlled together so they lift and move a load in exact unison.
Instead of operating each hoist separately, the synchronized control ensures all hoists work at the same speed and position.
⚙️ How It Works
✔ Multiple hoists are mounted to a common load beam
✔ They share a central control system (VFD or controller)
✔ Lifting and lowering commands are sent to all hoists together
✔ Sensors and feedback keep the loads level and synchronized
Synchronized Chain Hoist Applications
• Lifting long steel beams and structural sections
• Handling large molds, dies, and press tools
• Installing machinery and equipment
• Shipbuilding and large fabrication works
• Power plant turbine and generator handling
• Handling oversized loads in warehouses & factories
6. VFD CHAIN HOIST
VVFD Chain Hoist is an electric chain hoist equipped with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) — an electronic device that precisely controls the hoist motor’s speed and acceleration by adjusting voltage and frequency.
Benefits of VFD Chain Hoists
✔ Greater precision for delicate lift positioning
✔ Less wear & tear on mechanical parts
✔ Improved safety and control
✔ smoother operation
✔ Better performance in repetitive lifting
7. Flame-Proof Chain Hoist (Explosion-Proof Chain Hoist)
A Flame-Proof Chain Hoist is a specialized lifting device engineered for use in hazardous and classified explosive environments where standard hoists would be unsafe. These hoists are built to eliminate ignition sources (like sparks or overheated components) and comply with stringent safety standards for gas and dust explosion risk areas.
🔑 Key Features
- Explosion-/Flame-Proof Design: All motors, electrical parts, brakes, control systems, and enclosures are certified to prevent sparks and ignition in hazardous atmospheres.
- Spark-Resistant Components: Special non-ferrous and corrosion-resistant materials are used to reduce spark generation.
- Certified for Hazardous Zones: Suitable for gas Zones 1 & 2 environments.
- Overload & Safety Protection: Equipped with overload limiting systems, mechanical limit switches, and emergency stop features.
- Robust Construction: Heavy-duty rugged design ensures reliable performance in tough industrial conditions.
Typical Applications
Flame-Proof Chain Hoists are used where lifting must be done safely without risk of explosion:
✔️ Oil & Gas Refineries
✔️ Chemical & Petrochemical Plants
✔️ Mining Operations
✔️ Paint Shops & Solvent Areas
✔️ Fertilizer & Pharmaceutical Plants
✔️ Any hazardous/dust-prone industrial environment where flammable gases or dust may be present
Applications of Chain Hoist
Chain Hoists are widely used across various industries where controlled lifting, compact installation, and medium-duty material handling are required. They are an ideal solution for workplaces where lifting operations are occasional to moderate and load capacities are below 10 tons.
Chain Hoists offer precision, safety, and reliability, making them suitable for factories and workshops where cranes are not used continuously.
Industries & Work Areas Where Chain Hoist Is Ideal
- Medium-Size Manufacturing Units
Used for lifting machine parts, tools, dies, molds, and components during assembly and maintenance activities. - Workshops & Maintenance Bays
Ideal for handling motors, pumps, gearboxes, valves, and spare parts where lifting is required periodically. - Warehouses & Small Logistics Areas
Suitable for loading and unloading material, cartons, pallets, and equipment in facilities with limited crane usage. - Fabrication & Engineering Workshops
Used for material positioning, fabrication support, and job handling where precise vertical lifting is required. - Overhead Monorail & Light Crane Systems
Chain hoists work efficiently on monorails or light-duty crane structures for smooth and controlled movement. - Utility & Service Industries
Applied in power houses, water treatment plants, and service facilities for routine lifting operations. - Construction & Installation Work
Suitable for erection of small structures, equipment installation, and site-level handling tasks.
Why Chain Hoist Is a Preferred Choice for These Applications
- Best suited for medium-duty lifting operations
- Ideal where crane usage is low or intermittent
- Recommended for load capacities below 10 tons
- Compact design for space-restricted areas
- Easy installation on beams, monorails, and light crane systems
- Low maintenance with high operational safety

- High operating hours
- Production lines and steel plants
Very Heavy Duty – M6
- Continuous operation
- High starting frequency
- Critical and demanding industrial environments
Why is a Chain Hoist Used?
A chain hoist is used to lift, lower, and position heavy loads safely and efficiently, especially where space, budget, and reliability matter.
1. Lifts heavy loads with less effort
The gear and chain system multiplies force, allowing people or motors to lift very heavy objects smoothly.
2. Compact & space-saving
Chain hoists work vertically and don’t need bulky drums, making them perfect for low headroom and tight spaces.
3. Cost-effective
They are cheaper to buy and maintain than many lifting systems — especially manual chain hoists.
4. Simple & reliable
Fewer moving parts mean less breakdown and long service life.
5. Safe operation
Built-in brakes, strong alloy chains, and safety hooks keep loads secure during lifting.
6. Versatile use
Used in workshops, factories, warehouses, construction, and maintenance work.
In Summary – Chain Hoist is Used?
