Electric European style chain hoist
Monorail Electric Chain Hoist for Efficient Material Handling

Product Overview
The Weiyuan Monorail Electric Chain Hoist is a compact, high-efficiency lifting device designed for superior performance on monorail systems, I-beams, and jib cranes. This versatile hoist is engineered for reliability and safety, making it an ideal solution for workshops, warehouses, assembly lines, and construction sites. With its lightweight design, simple installation, and advanced safety features, it provides a powerful and precise method for lifting and transporting goods, significantly boosting productivity while reducing manual labor and enhancing operational safety.
Product Advantages
Lightweight and Durable Construction
The hoist features a high-strength aluminum alloy shell that is both lightweight and incredibly durable. This design not only makes it easy to handle and install but also provides excellent corrosion resistance and heat dissipation for long-lasting performance.
High-Strength G80 Alloy Steel Chain
Equipped with a carburized G80 alloy steel chain, this hoist offers exceptional strength and wear resistance. The robust chain is designed for safe and reliable operation in heavy-duty lifting applications, ensuring maximum durability under load.
Dual Braking System for Enhanced Safety
Our electric chain hoist incorporates a dual braking system—combining magnetic and mechanical brakes—for immediate and reliable stopping power. This system ensures that the load remains secure the moment the power is cut, preventing accidents and enhancing operator safety.
Advanced Overload Protection
Fitted with an integrated limit switch and overload protection device, the hoist automatically stops the motor if the load exceeds the rated capacity or if the hoist reaches its upper or lower travel limits. This prevents damage to the hoist and ensures a safer working environment.
Forged High-Strength Hook
The heat-treated, forged steel hook is designed to withstand heavy loads without breaking. It features a 360-degree rotation capability and a sturdy safety latch, ensuring flexible and secure attachment to the load during all lifting operations.
Application Scenarios
Workshops and Assembly Lines
Ideal for lifting components and tools on manufacturing and assembly lines. Its precision and reliability help streamline production and improve workflow efficiency.
Warehousing and Logistics
Perfect for loading, unloading, and moving inventory in warehouses. The monorail hoist can easily travel along I-beams to cover large storage areas, simplifying material handling tasks.
Maintenance and Repair Facilities
An essential tool for lifting heavy machinery parts, engines, and equipment in automotive repair shops and industrial maintenance departments, allowing for safer and more efficient servicing.
Construction Sites and Infrastructure
Provides versatile lifting support on construction sites for moving building materials, tools, and structural components, contributing to faster and safer project completion.

FAQ
Q: Can this electric chain hoist be used on a curved track?
A: Yes, the electric trolley is designed to operate on both straight and curved I-beam tracks. Please provide the specifications of your track, including the curve radius, so we can ensure the trolley is configured correctly for your system.
Q: What is the difference between a chain hoist and a wire rope hoist?
A: A chain hoist is generally more compact, lighter, and more cost-effective for lower capacity and lower-height lifting applications. A wire rope hoist is typically used for higher capacities, faster lifting speeds, and greater lifting heights. The choice depends on your specific operational needs.
Q: Is the hoist suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?
A: The standard model is designed for indoor use. However, we can provide customized versions with enhanced protection, such as rain covers and special coatings, to make them suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments. Please specify your working conditions when you inquire.
Q: What power supply is required for this hoist?
A: The hoist can be configured for various power supplies, including 220V, 380V, and 440V three-phase power. We will customize the motor and electrical components to match your local power standard.
Q: How does Weiyuan ensure the quality and safety of its hoists?
A: As a manufacturer with nearly 40 years of experience, Weiyuan follows a strict ISO-compliant quality control process. Every electric chain hoist is rigorously tested for load capacity, braking effectiveness, and safety features before shipment. We provide a detailed test report with each unit to guarantee it meets our high standards of quality and reliability.
