EC Hoists

Small-frame models use lightweight cast aluminum housings, while large-frame models use ductile iron load-bearing housings with aluminum covers.

EC hoists cover 1/4 to 5 ton capacities with standard 10, 15, and 20 ft lifts and other lifts available to suit specific applications.

Standard single- and three-phase voltages are available, with optional two-speed motors on many models.

EC hoists can be supplied with plain, geared, or motorized trolley suspensions for manual or powered traversing.

Trolley side plates wrap around the beam to act as safety lugs and bumpers, protecting wheels and reducing beam flange stress.

Machined cast-iron trolley wheels use sealed, lifetime-lubricated ball bearings (heat treated on motorized units) for smooth travel and long service life.

Weston-type mechanical load brake controls load lowering, prevents load drift, and holds the full rated load independently of the motor brake.

Direct-acting, multiple disc motor brake provides positive stopping, load spotting, and reliable holding whenever power is removed.

Precision-machined alloy steel gears run in an oil bath with helical gearing for quieter, cooler, and longer-lasting operation.

H4 duty class hoist motor with Class F insulation delivers high torque for heavy-duty industrial service with 60 Hz standard and 50 Hz available.

NEMA 3R ergonomic push button station uses 24 V control for operator safety, resists impact and corrosive atmospheres, and fits comfortably in one or two hands.

Internal strain relief supports the push button station cable to reduce stress at the entry point and extend control-cord life.

Robust chain guide resists jamming and keeps the load chain properly aligned with the load sheave for smooth operation.

Precision-pitch steel load chain is specially treated for optimum strength and wear resistance in demanding service.

Adjustable upper and lower limit switches with brass nuts and a stainless steel shaft precisely regulate load travel and improve repeatability.

Removable panel plate and electrical cover provide quick access to controls and motor leads for voltage changes and routine maintenance.

EC hoists are built in compliance with ASME/ANSI B30.16 and CSA standards and are backed by a lifetime warranty for added assurance.

Built-in mechanical overload clutch/device protects the hoist, operator, and supporting structure from damaging overloads, chain jamming, and reverse phasing.
