Electric Hoists

Posted on by

Our aim is to supply a hoist that will last a good working life, not a hoist that was imported from a unknown manufacturer, we only supply hoists that we are official approved dealers for. All of our electric chain hoists are tested and certified before being despatched.

We are approved suppliers for the following manufacturers:

My personal favourite brand is Stahl Electric Chain Hoists, they never let me down, short lead times and competitive prices, this German manufacturer knows quality.

For specialist applications, heavy duty use and great for production lines, i fully stand behind Demag chain hoists.

Need a brand you can trust? Need spares on demand? For this we recommend Yale electric chain hoists or Lodestar electric chain hoists, both manufactured by huge American company; Columbus McKinnon.

If you are an Italian Stallion and require a competitively priced hoist that will provide long lasting service and quality, Donati electric chain hoists are the one.

Choosing a hoist can be like choosing a car, firstly the brand, then to decide on the specification and optional extra’s, for more information and help on purchasing an electric chain hoist, contact Lifting Equipment Store.

If you have been following our blog you might be wondering when the next discussion is coming, it is on its way, its been a busy couple of weeks and we have had a successful end to the month, Lifting Equipment Store is 90% there on the design front, we have just yet to integrate card payments (waiting for the banks) and many more products to add, but that will never end…

The site has been a development over the last eleven months, i began working for Crane Handling back in September where i saw an opportunity for web development on www.cranehandling.com and the new online store. After a few months of design and sleepless nights at work (yes i really did) Lifting Equipment Store was born, trading as part of Kingsway Corporation the Lifting Equipment Store is run by myself as manager of Crane Handling and Kingsway Corporation. Our sales staff know their industry, with several members having over 30 years experience in the industry they are sure to accomodate your needs.

Our first months sales provided me with the inspiration to struggle on and keep developing, we are now in to our third month of online sales and things are only looking up.

Customers find our product information relevant and unique, the ability to write and read reviews from past customers we have found often raises to confidence of our perspective buyers. Our store is ever growing, if there is anything you think that we could do to make it better please feel confident to comment here and we will do our best.

 

Thanks for taking the time to read our blog, please check out www.liftingequipmentstore.com for all you lifting equipment requirements from hoists to cranes.

I wish all of my readers a great weekend…

Electric Chain Hoists

Posted on by

While working in the industry i have herd many people discussing about how they feel the process to aquire an electric chain hoist is more than its worth. This is not true, there are not many useful chain hoist guides out there on the internet however i have found a couple that are quite informative. These will be listed at the end of my blog post.

Mounting: An electric chain hoist can be suspended in a number of different ways. This can be by a top hook on the hoist unit that easily attached to a beam clamp (static) or a beam travelling trolley (for horizontal transport along I beams.) Some unit’s have a suspension eye, this is similar to a shackle, just designed for purpose.

Height of Lift: EASY! How far is it from your load’s level to the hoisting unit? Always give this in meters. This will determine the length of the load chain and if applicable, the hand chain (usually for geared trolleys)

Safe Working Load: What is the maximum weight of lift? Always quote this in Kg. 1 Tonne is equal to 1,000kg so that keeps things pretty simple.

Duty cycle is nothing you should worry about, just inform the supplier of when and how long the unit will be used for and they will do the rest.

There are a few other simple questions and answers that are detailed on this electric chain hoist jargon buster.

Another great site to check out for information and sales is electricchainhoists.co.uk Friendly staff and simple non-techie advice.

Lifting Equipment & Material Handling

Posted on by

Recently with the development of social media, the internet etc and the downfall of the economy as well as manual purchasing (ie. writing out purchase orders, paying invoices by cheque) Has lead business’s and other purchasers to the internet, users are looking for a one-stop-shop that easily fulfils their expectations such as detailed product descriptions, technical details like dimensions, online payment facility, next day shipping and helpful & knowledgeable staff on the phone.

This is where Lifting Equipment Store comes in to play. The internet’s best online store for lifting and handling equipment. From hoists to shackles they have it all. The best part being that they aim to keep their prices super competitive to eliminate the need to go elsewhere and acquire quotations that take time, its a simple case of finding the product you like, checking how much discount you have got (it shows RRP prices and their prices), add it to the basket and check out. The polite and friendly staff will keep you updated to your order’s status.

If however you are a bargain hunter a bit like David Dickinson and you happen to find the same products cheaper elsewhere, if you let their staff know they are more than happy to beat the price and offer you other incentives.

Be sure to check out Lifting Equipment Store’s range of Lifting Equipment.
