Hitachi 240V electric chain hoist, 1000kg load capacity

The Hitachi Single Phase Electric Chain Hoist, 1 and 2 Tonne, Single Speed is part of the Hitachi range. There are 2 models, each with a 3m lift and a 2m control length.

It has 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. The 2 tonne model runs on 2 chain falls. The E.D rating is 20% on both models, the lowest in the Hitachi range, so they suit intermittent lifting.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose 1 tonne or 2 tonne on your heaviest lift and keep the load inside the rated capacity. Lifting speed is slow (2.3 m/min and 1.1 m/min) and the E.D rating is 20%, so check the duty against your use: for frequent lifting, look at the three phase hoists. Check the supply is 240V single phase. 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.
