FAQS ABOUT ELECTRIC CHAIN HOISTS

Is an electric hoist better than a manual hoist?

Electric Chain Hoists offer faster lifting, higher load capacities, and reduced operator effort compared with manual hoists. They are ideal for repetitive or heavy duty lifting tasks in industrial environments. Manual Hoists are simpler and more portable, so it comes down to the lifting task you need to perform. At Lifting365 UK, we supply both types and can advise on which hoist best suits your site requirements, balancing efficiency, safety, and budget.

What are the three types of chain hoists?

The main types are: Manual Chain Hoists, which use hand operation for lifting; Electric Chain Hoists, powered by electricity for heavier loads and frequent use; and Pneumatic Chain Hoists, which use compressed air for specialised industrial applications.

How much does an electric chain hoist cost?

Hoist prices vary depending on type, load capacity, and features. At Lifting365 UK, we offer competitive pricing across our wide hoist range, and our team can recommend a model that meets your lifting needs and budget, ensuring long term value and compliance with UK safety standards.

What is the lifespan of a hoist?

A well maintained hoist can last many years. Lifespan depends on usage frequency, load conditions, and proper maintenance. Regular inspection, lubrication, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines extend service life. All our hoists are supplied with maintenance advice and support to help you maximise durability while maintaining safe operation.

How do you choose the best electric chain hoist?

When selecting a chain hoist, consider site conditions, safety requirements, and attachment compatibility. Assess the weight of loads, lifting height, and frequency of use to determine the right model. Electric hoists with variable speed or overload protection can improve efficiency and safety. If you are unsure of which electric chain hoist is the best for you, our agents can advise which is the most suitable one for your operations, ensuring it meets UK safety standards, is fully certified, and delivers reliable performance for both industrial and warehouse environments.

Does an electric chain hoist need certification?

Yes. In the UK, electric chain hoists must comply with LOLER 1998 and relevant CE standards, confirming safe lifting capability and structural integrity. We have developed our own certified product training, such as our Electric Chain Hoist Safety Awareness Course, which covers both adequate product operation and health and safety compliance with UK regulations.
