Hitachi HEH900L Single Phase Electric Chain Hoist, 0.25 tonne (250kg), Single Speed

The Hitachi Electric Hoist (single phase) in the 250kg and 500kg sizes is a 240V electric chain hoist with a single speed pendant, listed in the Pacific Hoists catalogue in capacities from 250kg to 2 tonne (manufacturer-stated). This page lists 2 models, each with a 3m lift and a 2m control length.

The catalogue lists a single speed IP65 pendant with 24V control, nickel-plated grade 80 load chain as standard, an electro-mechanical overload limiter, full current and shunt limit switches that operate in both directions of hook travel, an electro-magnetic self-adjusting disc type brake, motor thermal protection, high rated contactors and an IP rating of 54 (manufacturer-stated).

For each model the catalogue gives the rated capacity, lift, control length, voltage, lifting speed, E.D rating, chain falls, load chain size, net weight and the maker's model code. Zinc-plated grade 80 load chain, wireless remote control, a custom height of lift and a custom pendant length are listed as options and are not part of this listing.

The catalogue lists this range against Australian Standard AS1418.2 (manufacturer-stated). No certificate or test report is shown on this page: if your site needs proof of compliance, ask for the maker's documents before you buy.

Common specifications

Key specifications

Figures are as printed in the Pacific Hoists catalogue (manufacturer-stated). Lifting speed is in metres per minute. Lift is 3m and control length 2m on both models.

Selecting the right option

Choose 250kg or 500kg on your heaviest lift and keep the load inside the rated capacity. Lifting speed is slow (5 m/min and 3.6 m/min), which suits controlled lifts rather than fast repeat work. Check the supply is 240V single phase. For 1 tonne and 2 tonne see the larger Hitachi single phase hoists. Lifting equipment must be used within its rated capacity, inspected before each use, and selected and used in line with your site lifting procedure and the applicable standards and regulations. Do not use it to lift or lower people. If you are unsure what suits your lift, speak to a qualified rigger before ordering.
