Power Lift Chain Hoist

A chain hoist is a mechanism that exerts a force for lifting or lowering an object by utilizing a drum or lift wheel around which rope or chain wraps. Friction brakes help hold the load or object and can be used to help control the descent of the load.How Does An Electric Chain Hoist Work? Electric chain hoists have an induction motor and a brake to ensure the load is held when lifting (enabling heavy objects/loads to be lifted safely). The motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy which can then lift the load/weight.
