What is a wire rope & chain hoist?
Electric hoists are the lifting mechanism of most single girder cranes, jib cranes and monorail systems, and are also used as standalone fixed lifting points.
LiftoMech supplies electric wire rope hoists and chain hoists in standard and low-headroom designs, with single, dual or variable speed options.
