Low Headroom Hoist and Common Electric Hoist

Structure of Low Headroom Hoist and Standard Electric Hoist

An electric hoist is a small lifting equipment, mainly used for vertical lifting and hanging heavy objects. It is usually through the motor and lifting mechanism (chain or wire rope) to achieve the lifting of objects. The electric hoist usually has a small load capacity and a short lifting height and is suitable for handling and lifting tasks of light to medium-weight objects. Stand-alone electric hoists are mainly used for small-scale vertical lifting and suspension tasks. When used as one of the crane components, the electric hoist is used for large tonnage material handling tasks. Ordinary electric hoists are generally suitable for sites with a height of three meters or more. And some low plants with a height of two meters or less need the use of low headroom electric hoists. Low headroom electric hoist has a more compact size and lower height, especially suitable for situations where lifting operations need to be carried out in restricted space. The low headroom electric hoist can operate comfortably in confined working areas.

From the diagram we can see that the electric sports car and electric hoist of low headroom electric hoist are on the same plane, saving some space from the height. While the ordinary electric hoist is suspended under the electric roadster, which will greatly increase the overall height of the equipment. Thus, the low headroom electric hoist is more suitable for use in the low plant.

Advantages of Low Headroom Hoist and Standard Electric Hoist

Low headroom hoist advantages:

1. The best headroom, compared with the ordinary CD hoist can make the lifting height increased by 200 ~ 500mm.
2. Excellent three-in-one transmission technology, the lifting reducer is made of high-quality alloy steel, a three-stage reducer, smooth operation, long life, and reliable performance, avoiding many shortcomings of the CD hoist intermediate shaft long-distance transmission.
3. The motor is a new type of specially designed self-cooling cone motor, the motor shell is made of aluminum alloy with good heat dissipation, the motor insulation level is F, and the protection level is IP54, which is one level higher than the usual motor.
4. The electrical components are world-class Schneider products, using large-capacity contactors and other components, and the connection between the control switch and the motor and electrical components uses quick plugs to make the installation faster on site; the cables of the external leakage part of the hoist are protected by PE bellows to ensure reliable cable connection.
5. According to the user's requirements, we can do: hoist operation, lifting single and double speed or frequency conversion step less speed control, remote control operation, overload protection, motor overheating protection, and other functions.

1. Easy to operate. The general electric hoist can be controlled by remote control or button, with no manual manipulation of wire rope or chain, saving manpower and time.
2. High efficiency. The general electric hoist lifting speed is much faster than the manual hoist, which can improve efficiency and productivity.
3. Good safety. General electric hoist has many protection devices, such as limiters, brakes, overload protectors, etc., which can effectively prevent accidents, to protect the safety of personnel and goods.
4. Wide range of applications. General electric hoists can be used in different occasions and environments, such as factories, warehouses, buildings, bridges, docks, etc., and can meet a variety of lifting needs.
5. Easy maintenance. General electric hoist has a simple structure, easy-to-replace parts, low maintenance costs, and long service life.

Prices of Low Headroom Hoist and Universal Electric Hoist

Generally speaking, the price of low headroom electric hoist is higher than the price of a general electric hoist, this is because the low-headroom electric hoist has the following characteristics:

• Low headroom electric hoist is more compact and takes up less space, suitable for height-constrained occasions, such as workshops, warehouses, etc.
• The design of low headroom electric hoist is more reasonable, which can improve lifting efficiency and safety, and reduce failure and maintenance costs.
• The manufacturing process of low headroom electric hoist is more refined, and the materials and parts used are of higher quality to ensure the durability and stability of the equipment.

According to different specifications and parameters, the price of low headroom electric hoist is about 20% to 50% higher than the price of a general electric hoist. Of course, the specific price depends on market supply and demand, brand, quality, and other factors. In the selection of an electric hoist, one not only considers the price but also considers their actual needs and use of the environment, choosing the right model and configuration to achieve the best results.

Why Custom a Crane Solution?

At Yuantai, we know that there is no "one size fits all" in the lifting field. Universal cranes are suitable for general factories, warehouses, etc. Besides, different applications have different needs for cranes. For example, steel industries often lift steel plates, so need electromagnetic cranes. Ports and docks often need to load ore, gravel, and other bulk goods, so need to grab bucket cranes. Chemical dangerous places often need to carry flammable and explosive materials, so need explosion proof cranes.

So, we provide customized cranes according to the special needs of our customers. Custom crane solutions offer many benefits in a variety of applications：
