Home / Products / Electric Chain Hoist
LOADMATE electric chain hoists give fast, precise powered lifting for everyday loads. Choose the Euro series for standard headroom and versatility, or the ultra-low headroom hoist when every centimetre of hook height counts.
Compact, modern powered chain hoist for standard bays — quick, accurate lifting with hook or trolley mounting.
Best for: assembly lines, machine shops, packaging and general material handling where normal headroom is available.
Integrated hoist-and-trolley built to sit as close to the beam as possible — maximises hook height and lift in tight bays.
Best for: low-roof bays, mezzanines and existing buildings where you need the maximum possible lift from limited overhead space.
The differences that actually drive the decision — headroom, hook height, mounting and cost.
| Euro Series | Low-headroom | |
|---|---|---|
| Lifting capacity | 0.5–50 T | 0.5–50 T |
| Headroom | Standard | Minimal — close to the beam |
| Hook height / lift | 6m Standard Rise (6m+ on requirement) | Maximum for the bay |
| Trolley | Hook, push, geared or motorised | Integrated low-headroom trolley |
| Lifting speed | Single / two-speed / VFD | Single / two-speed / VFD |
| Best use | Standard bays, versatile | Low-roof, retrofit, mezzanine |
| Design standard | IS / FEM duty classes | IS / FEM duty classes |
| Relative price | Lower — standard build | Higher — space-optimised |
Capacities and duty classes are typical — final figures are confirmed per your application on the product datasheet.
Run your requirement against these. If most points fall in one column, that’s your pick.
The standard fit
The tight-space fit
Euro or low-headroom, the engineering underneath is the same standard — designed around safety, precision and uptime.
Designed to IS / FEM duty classes for your usage, with rated load chain and a defined factor of safety.
Slip-clutch or electronic overload protection plus upper / lower limit switches guard the load, the hoist and the operator.
Two-speed or variable-frequency hoisting gives soft, precise spotting of the load and less shock on the chain.
Crane-duty motor, hardened load chain, alloy hooks and branded electrics specified for continuous industrial service.
Supplied for hook, push, geared or motorised trolley mounting — matched to your beam and travel.
Stocked and supported across India, with spares and service so a hoist is never out of action for long.
A starting point by sector — final selection always comes down to your load, span and duty cycle.
Repetitive lifting and feeding of parts at standard headroom.
Often Euro seriesExisting buildings where roof height limits hook travel.
Usually low-headroomLoading machines, dies and fixtures with precise spotting.
Often Euro seriesAdding a hoist under an existing beam without losing lift.
Usually low-headroomGeneral material handling and palletised loads.
Often Euro seriesTight inter-floor lifting where clearance is at a premium.
Usually low-headroomBoth hoists are built in-house to IS / FEM duty classes and backed by a pan-India service team — the same standard behind every LOADMATE product.
Engineered for precision, built to last
An electric chain hoist lifts loads on an alloy-steel load chain driven by a motor and gearbox — compact, low-headroom lifting for workshops and assembly lines, from 0.5 up to 50 tonnes, with pendant or radio control.
Chain hoists win on compactness and price for light-to-medium duty; wire rope hoists win on speed, duty cycle and higher capacities. Duty class and lift height usually decide.
Price varies with capacity, lift height, speed and duty class. LOADMATE builds EURO and ultra-low-headroom series to IS standards — share your requirement for a quotation within 24 hours.
Both lift the same loads; the low-headroom hoist is built to sit much closer to the beam, so you get more hook height in bays with limited overhead clearance.
Yes. Euro hoists take push, geared or motorised trolleys; the low-headroom unit comes as an integrated hoist-and-trolley to keep the package compact.
Send your load and required lift height and we’ll configure capacity, chain falls and speed to suit — standard models cover everyday loads.
Yes, when specified to the right duty class. Tell us your daily cycles and we’ll size the hoist for it.
Share your load, lift height and overhead clearance and our engineers will recommend the right electric chain hoist — with exact capacity, speed and mounting for your bay.
