Various Mounting Options
Podem’s CLF series electric chain hoists are preferred over bulky wire rope hoists in different workshops and small manufacturing spaces.
They come in the following suspensions:
- Stationary – using Podem’s eye bolt, as there is also an option for a top hook.
- Push trolley – using a manually operated trolley used in low-capacity cranes.
- Electric trolley – using motorized traveling trolley, recommended for higher than 1000 kg load capacity.
For the manual chain hoists, the top hook solution is standard.
Industrial Applications
Chain hoists for cranes are used in workshops and manufacturing buildings. They can also be used as an auxiliary solution or to entirely replace the low-capacity rope hoists, which are bulky and more expensive.
