Hitachi Electric Chain Hoists & Electric Trolleys
Hitachi is a globally recognised engineering brand whose electric chain hoists are trusted in workshops, factories, warehouses, and construction sites across Australia for their reliability, precision load control, and robust construction.
An electric chain hoist is one of the hardest-working pieces of equipment in any facility that handles heavy loads — it lifts, lowers, and positions loads that are too heavy, too awkward, or too dangerous to handle manually, and it does so hundreds or thousands of times over its service life.
Hitachi builds its hoists to sustain this duty cycle with minimal maintenance, using hardened load chains, sealed motor housings, precision-machined gearing, and overload protection systems that prevent the hoist from being operated beyond its rated capacity.
The Hitachi range available through AIMS Industrial includes single-phase and three-phase electric chain hoists in single-speed and dual-speed configurations, plus a three-phase electric trolley for motorised beam traversal.
Single-phase hoists suit workshops, maintenance bays, and light manufacturing facilities where only 240 V supply is available.
Three-phase hoists deliver higher lifting capacities and faster line speeds for production environments, warehouses, and heavy maintenance operations running 415 V supply.
Dual-speed models provide a fast travel speed for unloaded or lightly loaded positioning and a slower, more precise speed for final load placement — a feature that significantly improves productivity and safety in repetitive lifting operations where both speed and positioning accuracy matter.
