What is a 2 ton electric chain hoist?

The 2 ton electric chain hoist is an electrically driven lifting equipment, specially designed for vertical lifting of heavy objects, with a rated load capacity of 2 tons (2000 kg). It realizes the lifting or lowering of heavy objects through a motor-driven chain, and is widely used in various scenarios such as industry, warehousing and logistics, construction, and automobile maintenance. The core structure of the 2 ton electric chain hoist consists of a motor, a lifting chain, a hook and a pulley block, a control device, a braking system and a gear box.

Features and advantages of 2-ton electric chain hoist

Sructural design

• Compact and lightweight: Using high-strength aluminum alloy/alloy steel shell, it is light in weight (usually 300~500kg) and saves installation space.
• Modular design: easy maintenance and parts replacement, reducing downtime.

Safety performance

• Dual braking system: electromagnetic braking + mechanical braking to ensure quick response to emergencies.
• Multiple limit protection: mechanical limit + electronic limit double insurance to prevent top climbing or falling.
• Automatic power-off overload: Automatically stops running when the load exceeds 105% of the rated weight.

Intelligent options

• Frequency conversion control: realizes stepless speed regulation, smooth starting and stopping, and precise positioning (suitable for hoisting precision equipment).
• Electronic weighing system: real-time display of load weight (optional).
• Wireless remote control: control distance up to 100 meters (anti-interference design).

Advantages of electric hoist and manual hoist

Characteristic	Electric hoist	Manual hoist
Power source	Electric drive (high efficiency)	Pulling the chain manually (laborious)
Operating speed	8-20 m/min (fast)	0.5-3 m/min (slow)
Load control	Precise positioning (millimeter level error)	Depends on operator experience (large error)
Applicable scenarios	Frequent operations, heavy loads, high altitudes	Light load, temporary tasks

How does an electric chain hoist work?

The 2 ton electric chain hoist achieves efficient, precise and safe lifting operations through the collaborative work of electric drive, mechanical transmission and intelligent control. Its core is to convert electrical energy into controllable mechanical energy and ensure operational safety through multiple protection mechanisms. Understanding its working principle can help optimize equipment selection, improve operating efficiency, and extend service life.

2 ton electric chain hoist working process

• 1. Start the power supply: Connect the power supply, release the brake, and the motor is on standby.
• 2. Press the “Up” button: the motor rotates forward → the gearbox decelerates → the sprocket rotates clockwise → the chain winds up.
• 3. Lifting heavy objects: The chain drives the hook to rise until it reaches the target height.
• 4. Release button: The motor stops, the brake locks instantly, and the heavy object hovers.
• 5. Press the “Lower” button: the motor reverses → the chain is released → the weight descends smoothly.

Installation and maintenance of 2 ton electric chain hoist

Installation requirements:

• The track must be level (incline ≤1/1000), and the grounding resistance must be ≤4Ω.
• No-load and load tests are required before first use.

Routine maintenance:

• Check wire rope/chain wear, motor carbon brushes, and brake sensitivity monthly.
• Replace reducer lubricating oil every year (ISO VG 220 gear oil is recommended).
