Electric Chain Hoists — Single & Three Phase Hoists from Toho & Hitachi

AIMS Industrial stocks sells multiple electric chain hoists and wire rope hoists from Toho, Hitachi & Pacific Hoists — covering single phase 240V, three phase 415V and dual-speed three phase electric chain hoists, plus compact wire rope builders hoists. Rated from 500 kg to multiple tonne capacities, AIMS’ electric hoists are used in workshops, warehouses, fabrication facilities and construction sites where reliable, powered vertical lifting is required.

Electric Hoist Types We Stock

• Toho Electric Chain Hoist — Single Phase 240V: Toho single phase electric chain hoist for workshops and sites with 240V power supply — ideal where three phase is unavailable. Push-button pendant control for safe operation from a clear position.
• Toho Pro Mini Electric Hoist 500 kg — 240V: Toho compact 500kg 240V mini electric hoist for light workshop lifting — a space-saving, cost-effective solution for smaller workshops needing basic powered lifting without a full overhead crane installation.
• Toho Electric Chain Hoist — Three Phase 415V (Single & Dual Speed): Toho three phase hoists in single and 2-speed variants. Dual-speed models provide fast travel for open lifts and slow speed for precise load placement — reducing cycle time while maintaining control at the landing point.
• Toho Compact Wire Rope (Builders) Hoist: Toho wire rope hoists for construction hoisting applications — typically used for raising materials to elevated work platforms and construction floors where a chain hoist is not suited to extended hoisting distances.
• Hitachi Three Phase Electric Chain Hoist: Hitachi three phase electric chain hoists available in single and dual-speed configurations — a well-regarded industrial-grade hoist for continuous-duty workshop and manufacturing operations.
• Pacific Porta Hoist — Single Phase: Pacific single phase electric chain hoist for portable or semi-permanent workshop lifting installations — available in standard capacity ratings for general maintenance and fabrication lifting requirements.

Selecting the Right Electric Hoist

• Power Supply — Single vs Three Phase: Single phase hoists run from standard 240V power — suitable for most workshops and sites without three phase supply. Three phase hoists are more efficient for continuous-duty applications and are preferred in industrial plant environments.
• WLL & Safety Factor: Select a hoist with a WLL exceeding your maximum load. Australian crane and hoist standards require WLL selection based on lift class — consult AS 1418 for requirements depending on your usage frequency and duty cycle.
• Single Speed vs Dual Speed: Single speed hoists suit applications where precise placement is not critical. Dual speed hoists offer a slow-speed final approach — important in die shops, assembly and any lift where exact load positioning is required.
• Trolley Pairing: For overhead monorail use, pair your electric hoist with a compatible beam trolley from AIMS Industrial. Confirm hoist hook size and trolley saddle compatibility — Toho and Austlift trolleys are commonly paired with this range.
