The hoist defines the reliability of your crane. RS Industrial Services supplies specific lifting units for new systems or as replacements for aging assets.
We guide you through the choice between Chain and Wire Rope technology based on your specific application, not just price.
Electric Chain Hoists (125kg - 5 Tonnes).
Best For: Durability, harsh environments, and high-repetition tasks.
Technology: Robust, enclosed bodies make them resistant to dust and moisture.
True Vertical Lift: We supply hoists that prevent lateral hook drift during lifting - critical for precision assembly.
Brands: We are authorised distributors for Donati (DMK series), Yale (CPV), and CMCO.
Wire Rope Hoists (3.2 Tonnes - 100+ Tonnes).
Best For: Heavy loads, fast lifting speeds, and long service life in heavy process industries.
Technology: Precision drum winding reduces rope wear. Open designs allow easier maintenance of motors and gearboxes.
Duty Cycle: Engineered for higher FEM ratings (2m, 3m, 4m) to withstand continuous multi-shift operations without motor burnout.
Smart Hoist Features.
VFD Control: Variable Frequency Drives for stepless speed control - no more "jogging" the buttons to position a load.
Load Limiting: Electronic overload protection prevents the operator from lifting loads beyond the Safe Working Load (SWL).
Limit Switches: Top and bottom limits prevent hook over-travel and damage to the drum.
