What is a fast Electric Hoist?

Electric Chain Hoists are used on various cranes due to their strong lifting capacity and durability. In terms of lifting speed, there are single-speed, double-speed, slow-speed, and fast electric hoists. Single- and double-speed hoists In fact, it is an ordinary normal speed. For example, the lifting speed of a 0.5 to 5 ton single-speed electric hoist is from 2.7m/min to 6.8m/min. This speed is related to the rated load. The larger the lifting weight, the slower the lifting speed will be.

So what is a fast electric hoist?

A fast electric hoist is a lifting equipment powered by an electric motor. It usually consists of a steel wire rope, a drum, a main body shell, a motor and a controller. Unlike traditional manual or single-speed electric hoists, fast electric hoists have multi-speed shifting functions, which can achieve operations such as rapid lifting, accurate positioning, and smooth and slow lowering. The lifting speed is generally 10m/min, which is faster than ordinary small electric hoist cranes. Because two hoist heads (motors) are used to lift a hook, the speed will be doubled under normal circumstances.

This type of hoist can be used for some light and small heavy objects or objects that are very stable to be hoisted, because faster speeds mean an increase in risk factors. Although it is not recommended to stay suspended for a long time during hoisting operations, it should be Slow and steady to ensure safety, so simply seeking speed is not advisable and needs to be judged based on the situation.
