Product Description

Variable Speed Electric Chain Hoists for Controlled Load Lifting

Variable speed electric chain hoists provide smooth, efficient lifting for workstations, maintenance areas, assembly lines, warehouses, repair shops, and industrial material handling applications. Designed to raise and position products with better control than fixed-speed hoists, these powered chain hoists help operators improve accuracy, reduce handling time, and support repeatable lifting tasks.

Adjustable Lifting Speed

The variable speed control allows operators to match lifting speed to the load and application. Faster movement helps improve productivity during routine lifting, while slower adjustment supports more precise positioning when aligning parts, fixtures, tools, or equipment.

Operator-Friendly Controls

Each hoist includes a standard push button hand control with up and down buttons and a variable speed knob for convenient operation. A chain container is included to keep the load chain organized during lifting and lowering, helping maintain a cleaner and safer work area.

Capacities and Power Options

This family includes 250 lb., 500 lb., and 1,000 lb. capacity models with 13 feet of standard lift and 18 inches of headroom. Variable lifting speeds range up to 49 feet per minute on lighter capacity models and up to 20 feet per minute on the 1,000 lb. model. Steel construction and a durable blue finish make these electric chain hoists a practical choice for those needing controlled powered lifting performance.
