Hoists & Trollies for Industrial Material Handling
What Is a Hoist?
Hoists are tools used to lift or lower loads in various industrial, construction and maintenance applications. Electric chain hoists will hook/connect into a separate trolley while wire rope hoists are generally incorporated into the same frame as the trolley which moves it along the bridge or mono-rail beam.
Hoist Capacity and Configuration Options
Whether it’s 1 ton or 100 ton capacity, electric, pneumatic or manually powered that you are looking for we can provide a hoist to suit your lifting needs. Hoists come in either wire rope or chain configuration for connecting to the load. Many additional options are available such as wireless remote controls, Standard 1 or 2 speed controls, VFD Controls (variable frequency drive), hazardous location and food grade applications.

Common Hoist Types
Electric Wire Rope Hoist
Designed for heavy-duty lifting and high-capacity applications, electric wire rope hoists are commonly used in overhead crane systems and provide smooth, reliable operation over long spans.
Electric Chain Hoist
Ideal for lighter to medium-duty lifting, electric chain hoists offer precise load control and are well-suited for maintenance, manufacturing, and assembly environments.
Air Chain Hoist
Powered by compressed air, air chain hoists are commonly used in hazardous or explosive environments where electric power is not suitable, offering safe and consistent lifting performance.
Air Wire Rope Hoist
Built for demanding industrial applications, air wire rope hoists provide high lifting capacities and durability, making them ideal for harsh environments and continuous-duty use.
Manual Chain Hoist
A cost-effective, hand-operated solution for lifting applications where power is not available or required, manual chain hoists are simple, reliable, and easy to maintain.
Lever Chain Hoist
Compact and portable, lever chain hoists are commonly used for pulling, positioning, and tensioning loads, especially in tight or confined spaces.
