AmeriCrane offers a range of chain & wire rope hoists suitable for facilities that routinely lift and move heavy loads. These hoists are designed to safely and effectively handle materials, especially in demanding, rugged, or repetitive work settings.


Electric Chain Hoists
The electric chain hoist is perfectly suited for challenging conditions that demand robust equipment. With minimal maintenance, it supports weight ranges from 1/4 ton up to 20 tons.
​
Furthermore, it can be equipped with hand-geared, motorized, or push trolleys to serve varied requirements. Not only suitable for rigorous contexts and apt for pristine assembly settings such as in the automotive industries.
With a lift velocity reaching 128 fpm, it also integrates a hand brake, ensuring stable lifting during windmill servicing.
​
Further enhancements for the electric chain hoists comprise:
-
Additional lift
-
Radio control
-
VFD (Variable frequency drive)
-
Hoist overload protection
-
Rotary limit switch
-
Manipulator control
-
Bullard or Sue-loc and insulated hooks

Air Powered Hoists
Air-powered hoists excel in high-speed scenarios that require frequent starting and stopping. They offer unparalleled load-spotting precision and can handle highly repetitive tasks with ease.
​
When the air supply is at hand, these hoists can be effortlessly relocated within a facility. With an impressive capacity of up to 100 tons, they can operate non-stop at full load without overheating.
​
Furthermore, the air-powered hoist ensures an explosion-resistant environment and boasts a low-profile design. As long as it’s maintained clean and hygienic, it’s suitable for food-grade tasks, encompassing both pharmaceutical and food/beverage processing.

Electric Wire Rope Hoists
Typically paired with top-running, single, or double girder cranes, the electric wire rope hoist boasts extensive lifting heights and impressively swift lifting velocities.
​
It ensures an explosion-resistant environment, features a compact design, and is suitable for food-grade operations. Its designs range from the foundational built-up to modular hoist systems.
​
While the modular configuration can manage capacities from 1/2 ton up to 50 tons, the built-up version accommodates loads up to 300 tons.
​
Additional options include:
-
Stainless steel wire rope
-
VFD controls (variable frequency drive)
-
Load cells (displays weight of current load)
-
Secondary mechanical brakes
-
Rotary limit switches
-
Radio controls
-
Overload protection devices

Manual Chain Hoists
Manual hoists are available in two types: pull lever and hand chain.
​
Both are the most economical hoist system available and are often used in construction, public utilities, and manufacturing.
​
Lever puller hoists transfer loads vertically or horizontally and the smallest models can fit in a carrying case attached to your tool belt.
​
Hand chain hoists are the simplified way to lift up to 50 tons; it provides low headroom with a trolley and spark-resistant features.
