All About Hoists   

Maximize your Vertical Space Usage with a Low Headroom Chain Hoist

Hoisting mechanisms are the lifeblood of many manufacturing and repair operations. Mechanical hoists are used to lift items that humans can not in spaces that are not amenable to forklifts or other mobile lifting machinery. Chain hoists are popular in manufacturing environments since their floor footprint is zero (they attach to the ceiling) which means that they do not take up valuable work floor real estate. Some facilities that can not use standard chain hoists can take advantage of a new class of hoist known as the low headroom chain hoist. A low headroom chain hoist works the same as a standard chain hoist, but uses modern design principles to reduce the overhead space required.
 

A low headroom chain hoist is a necessity in an environment where heavy lifting must occur but there is not enough head room to accommodate a traditional chain hoist or other ceiling mounted lifting mechanism. When shopping for a low headroom chain hoist, be sure to calculate the maximum vertical space that you can tolerate, the amount of lifting power needed, vibration level that you can tolerate (different chain hoists provide different amounts of vibration isolation), and budget.

For those who need to maximize the use of vertical space in their manufacturing operation or heavy equipment repair center, nothing can be a low headroom chain hoist. A low headroom chain hoist provides all of the functionality of standard chain hoists while making the most of the available vertical space in the room.
