Lifting Gear Direct are proud to be the Premium UK supplier of Delta Electric Hoists. These reliable hoists incorporate high quality components including easily changeable contactor relays. The plug and play functionality enables easy switching of specific components such as suspension type and control options. Push and power trolleys also available off the shelf.
The electric hoists segment of the market is particularly competitive. If you are looking for reliable models from Demag, Donati, Stahl, Kito, and many more, our site is the best place to find them. One of the advantages of choosing an electric chain hoist is the speed with which lifting and lowering can be completed. Even the slowest models allow speeds of up to 1.5 metres per minute to be achieved. The quickest units can hit 12 metres per minute, which will help you to complete tasks efficiently without compromising on safety. Modern electric hoists also boast quiet operation and low maintenance designs. This means they are easy to work with and affordable to own over the expected lifespan. When you do need to replace parts, we also have an extensive catalogue of spares, including everything from chains and fixtures to wire ropes and accessories. Lifting Gear Direct is the best place to find the electric hoists and accessories you need to get the job done.
There are two key areas for lifting hoists, the powered variety and the manual variety. Powered hoists include electric hoists and pneumatic air hoists. Electric hoists include scaffold hoists, builders gantry hoists, pull winch, mini winch wire rope hoists and the minifor hoist. The manual hoist category incorporates the chain block / manual chain hoist / block and tackle and ratchet lever hoists.
Think about whether you want powered or manual, what weight do you want to lift? (don't guess) Where will the hoist be fitted/ how will it attach? Do you need a beam trolley? What is the load bearing capacity of the crane or location the lifting hoist will fit to? If choosing an electric hoist, do you need a radio remote control system? Choose the correct safe working load lifting capacity. Talk to a lifting equipment specialist for advice and buy from a reputable company like Lifting Gear Direct to ensure your hoist complies to all the necessary regulations.
Lifting hoists are special devices used for lifting heavy and/or large loads that would normally be difficult or impossible for a person to lift manually. A lifting hoist typically lifts and lowers a load vertically but are commonly used on a crane's beam anchored to a beam trolley so that the hoist and load can move back and forth across the beam. They are used in many industrial areas like factories, warehouses, manufacturing, engineering, oil & gas, Utility companies, shipping, docksides and many other places.
