Warehouse electric hoist for pallet racking

Designed for the Demands of Racking Environments

• 1. Robust Lifting Capacity & Precision:

  • Heavy-Duty Performance: Engineered to handle capacities ranging from 1 ton up to 20 ton or more, effortlessly lifting standard and heavy palletized goods common in warehouse pallet racking.
  • Smooth & Controlled Lifting: Features a powerful, thermally protected electric motor driving a reliable wire rope drum. Precision gear reduction ensures smooth, controlled ascent and descent, even at full capacity, preventing load swing that could damage racking or goods.
  • Optimized Lift Height: Configurable lift heights (e.g., 3m / 10ft, 6m / 20ft, 9m / 30ft+) specifically tailored to match the vertical clearances of common pallet racking configurations (selective, drive-in, push-back, pallet flow).

• 2. Seamless Integration with Pallet Racking:

  • Versatile Mounting Solutions: Designed for effortless integration into your warehouse structure:
    • Overhead Beam Mounting: Securely attaches to the cross-beams of your pallet racking frame using robust clamps or dedicated mounting plates.
    • Trolley-Mounted (Optional): For applications requiring lateral movement along a beam, compatible trolleys allow the hoist to traverse the width of a bay within the racking system.
    • Monorail Integration: Can be incorporated into a dedicated overhead monorail system running parallel to racking aisles.
  • Low Headroom electric chain hoist Design: Engineered profile minimizes the space required above the load, crucial for maximizing storage height within pallet racking bays and working effectively in warehouses with height constraints.

• 3. Operator-Centric Control & Safety:

  • Intuitive Control Systems:
    • Pendant Control: Standard ergonomic, low-voltage pendant with clearly marked UP/DOWN buttons, emergency stop, and often variable speed control. Durable cable or wireless options available.
    • Radio Remote Control (Optional): Provides operators greater freedom of movement and improved visibility during lifting operations within the racking aisle. Features secure frequency hopping and emergency stop.
  • Comprehensive Safety Architecture:
    • Overload Protection: Integral load limiter prevents operation beyond rated capacity, protecting both the hoist and your pallet racking structure.
    • Upper/Lower Limit Switches: Automatically cuts power at preset maximum lift and lower positions, preventing over-travel collisions with the racking or floor.
    • Phase Monitoring & Thermal Protection: Safeguards the motor against voltage irregularities and overheating during intensive warehouse use.
    • Mechanical Braking: Dual braking systems (primary electromagnetic brake, secondary mechanical brake) ensure failsafe holding of the load at any height.
    • Emergency Stop: Instantly cuts all power to the hoist motor from both pendant and remote.
    • Compliance: Manufactured to stringent international safety standards (e.g., EN 13155 for lifting equipment, CE, UL).

• 4. Essential Components for Pallet Handling:

  • Standard Hook: Heavy-duty, swiveling forged steel hook with safety latch for general attachment.
  • Pallet Lifting Attachment (Critical): A variety of specialized below-the-hook devices are available to securely engage pallets:
    • Pallet Fork Attachment: Robust forks (adjustable or fixed width) slide directly into pallet stringers.
    • Drum Clamp Attachment: For handling specific cylindrical loads often stored on racking.
    • Custom Attachments: Designed for unique load types within your specific warehouse pallet racking setup.

Why Choose Our Electric Hoist for Your Pallet Racking?

• 1. Dramatically Increased Productivity: Load and unload upper levels of pallet racking in seconds, not minutes. Reduce reliance on forklifts for high-level access.
• 2. Enhanced Safety: Eliminate the risks associated with manual lifting, ladder use, or unstable platforms near racking. Built-in safety features protect personnel and inventory.
• 3. Improved Ergonomics: Remove the physical strain of lifting heavy pallets manually, reducing worker fatigue and injury.
• 4. Optimal Space Utilization: Efficiently utilize the full height of your warehouse pallet racking, potentially delaying costly expansion.
• 5. Reduced Product & Racking Damage: Precise, controlled lifting minimizes the risk of pallets impacting beams or uprights within the racking system.
• 6. Versatility: Handle diverse palletized loads safely and efficiently at any level within your racking structure.
• 7. Lower Operating Costs: Reduced labor requirements per pallet moved, decreased reliance on fuel-powered equipment, and minimized damage-related costs.
