Profile: Hoist UK specializes in providing lifting and handling equipment for the industrial and entertainment market sectors. We provide overhead crane systems, electric chain hoists, winches and shackles. Our range of electric wire rope hoists are designed to handle heavy duty loads up to 250 tonnes and offer fast lifting speeds. It is available without a trolley in a foot mounted (fixed mount) installation or it can be configured for a low headroom operation, normal headroom or a double girder trolley configuration. The greater lifting capacity is one of the factors that makes wire rope hoists a more expensive option compared with a chain hoist.
