Should electric hoist choose single chain or double chain?

Based on the required load capacity, lifting height, usage scenarios and other factors, choose whether to use a single chain or double chain for the electric hoist.

1. The difference between single chain and double chain electric hoist

An electric hoist is a machine used for lifting and transporting heavy objects. A single-chain electric hoist refers to an electric hoist with only one lifting chain, and a double-chain electric hoist refers to an electric hoist with two lifting chains. The main difference between the two types of electric hoists is the required load capacity and lifting height.

2. How to choose single chain or double chain electric hoist

1. Select the load-bearing weight: Generally, the load-bearing weight of a single-chain electric hoist is smaller than that of a double-chain electric hoist, but the lifting height is larger. Therefore, when selecting an electric hoist, comprehensive considerations should be made based on the required load capacity and lifting height.

2. Select the lifting height: Single chain electric hoist is suitable for lifting within a short distance, while double chain electric hoist is more suitable when the lifting height is high and accurate control is required.

3. Usage scenarios: The single-chain electric hoist has fast lifting speed and simple operation. It is suitable for some simpler lifting situations, such as factories, warehouses, workshops, etc. The double-chain electric hoist is suitable for lifting situations with heavy weight, high lifting height and complex operation, such as steel, metallurgy, shipbuilding, electric power, petrochemical and other fields.

3. Summary

In summary, how to choose a single-chain or double-chain electric hoist should be comprehensively considered based on various factors such as the required load capacity, lifting height, and usage scenarios. For situations where the carrying weight is small and the lifting height is large, the single chain electric hoist is the best choice. For occasions with large load-carrying weight, high lifting height, and complex operations, a double-chain electric hoist should be selected to ensure safe operation.
