Low Headroom Electric Chain Hoist

Low-Headroom Chain Hoist Overview

Low-headroom chain hoists are compact lifting devices specifically designed for confined spaces. Compared to traditional hoists, low-headroom models feature an optimized design that significantly reduces the distance between the hook and the I-beam, effectively minimizing the required installation height of the beam. This improvement increases the lifting height by 200 to 500 millimeters, offering greater flexibility and convenience in confined or low-clearance work environments. Additionally, the equipment typically features an electric trolley that enables movement in four directions—up, down, left, and right—along the I-beam, making it an ideal choice for lifting, transporting, and loading/unloading goods and heavy objects.

Analysis of the Definition of Net Space

Clearance refers to the vertical distance between the suspension point of the hoist and the saddle when the hook is fully raised. For chain hoists equipped with hooks, the clearance dimension specifically denotes the distance between the upper hook saddle and the lower hook saddle when the lower hook is fully raised. It is important to note that clearance measurements should be taken with the load chain at its highest position to ensure data accuracy.

When selecting an electric chain hoist, be sure to consider the height restrictions of the installation facility. If maximizing lifting height is required, the ultra-low headroom lifting eye option is the ideal choice. We also welcome customers to share their specific requirements so we can provide a more tailored solution.

Applications of Low-Headroom Chain Hoists

The low-headroom electric chain hoist consists of two running trolleys and one motor, with its compact design and trolley configuration significantly saving space. The specially designed trolleys adapt to the curvature of the chain hoist housing, enabling the hoist to operate at greater heights. This equipment is suitable for various beam types, including H-beams, universal beams, precast box girders, and I-beams. It is particularly well-suited for workplaces with strict lifting height requirements and low factory ceilings, such as temporary workshops or locations requiring expanded effective lifting space.

Additionally, low-headroom chain hoists excel in applications with limited headroom, delivering efficient, safe, and maintenance-free performance. They are widely used across various industries including mold manufacturing, machinery production, warehousing and logistics, shipbuilding, and bridge construction. Furthermore, this equipment is compatible with multiple lifting devices such as single-girder overhead cranes, I-beam cranes, and bridge cranes.

Operator Requirements for 2-Ton Low-Headroom Electric Chain Hoists

1. Master the operational skills of low-headroom hoists.
2. Be at least 18 years of age.
3. Conduct daily inspections before operation to ensure equipment is in good working condition.
4. Be physically and mentally fit to perform job duties.
5. Have received training in product operation and maintenance, and demonstrate competency.
6. Be able to reliably perform assigned duties and understand associated risks and hazards.

Safety Operating Guidelines for Electric Chain Hoists

All electric chain hoists manufactured by Dongqi are equipped with safety devices including limit switches, overload protection, and dual brakes. However, improper operation may still lead to hazards. Please carefully read the following safety instructions and operate with the utmost caution:

1. Ensure the load does not exceed the safe working load: Before commencing lifting operations, verify that the load does not exceed the equipment's safe working load.
2. Maintain load stability: During lifting, ensure the load remains in a stable position to prevent tipping or slipping accidents.
3. Keep the work area clean: Maintain a safe and tidy work environment to avoid obstructions interfering with lifting operations.
4. Do not perform maintenance while load is suspended: Never attempt troubleshooting or maintenance while the load is suspended.
5. Follow load attachment instructions: When attaching loads, always read and strictly adhere to relevant instructions to ensure proper connection.
6. Do not straighten deformed hooks: Never attempt to straighten a deformed hook; replace it immediately with a new one.
7. Wear Protective Gloves: Never touch metal components without protective gloves to prevent cuts or burns.
8. Professional Testing and Inspection: Before commissioning, hoists and trolleys must be tested and inspected by qualified personnel to ensure proper equipment condition.
9. Report Damage and Defects Promptly: Report any damage or defects to the responsible personnel immediately. Do not use the hoist until repairs are completed.
