- Ergonomic lifting devices
- Bridge cranes
- Jib cranes
- Gantry cranes
- Workstation cranes
- Monorail cranes
Material handling Gantry Crane
Gantry crane is developed on the basis of overhead crane and bridge crane. Its metal framework of gantry crane resembles a gantry frame with two supporting legs put under the main beam, which can run on the ground's track directly, and cantilever beams that can be extended at either end of the main beam.
You can select a gantry crane if your workshop or factory lacks support columns or engineering columns to facilitate the installation of an overhead crane.
Jib crane for light and busy material handling
As a light duty material handling crane, the jib crane is frequently used for high-efficiency automatic production lines and is especially well suited for close quarters, frequent use, and heavy lifting.
The material handling jib crane is highly efficient, energy- and labor-efficient, has a little environmental impact, and is simple to use. Besides for material handling, the electric jib crane can be used to save your floor space with wall mounted designed or ceiling mounted designs. Types of material handling jib cranes are availble.
Bridge crane is another name for an overhead crane. It spans the space between the two runway tracks in the workshop, as its name implies.
Without interference from ground machinery, the material handling overhead crane can lift materials as much as possible in the area beneath the bridge. It is one of the most frequently used material handing equipment in various industries and applications.

Types of Material Handling Hoists
Material lifting equipment describes a range of products used for lifting and moving goods in a more efficient and safe way over doing it by hand. Industrial Tool Supply has years of experience with lifting equipment. Lifting products include electric hoist, such as electric chain hoist and electric wire rope hoist, and manual hoist including the lever hoists, chain hoists, etc.
A variety of products used to lift and move goods more quickly and safely than by hand are referred to as material lifting equipment. With lifting equipment, Industrial Tool Supplies has years of experience. Electric hoists, like electric chain hoists and electric wire rope hoists, as well as manual hoists, like lever hoists and chain hoists, are examples of lifting products.
Electric Hoists
The most popular types of material handling hoists are electric hoists. The lift capacity of eclectic hoists range from 500kg which are off-the-shelf design, and up to 80 ton, which are often custom-engineered.
All of the electric powered material handling hoists are all rated by working duty. The hoist's electric motor's rating affects how long it can operate before cooling down. As a result, an electric hoist with a 25% duty cycle can operate continuously for 25% of an hour, or 15 minutes, before cooling down.
Electric motorized material handling hoists can be designed and manufactured with a single speed, double speed, or variable speed based on your lifting requriements. The cheapest hoist motors are those with a single speed; those with double and variable speeds have a few extra benefits. An operator of a double-speed hoist can lift a weight slowly at first and then gradually increase the lifting speed. This lessens the system's shock and increases the hoist's lifespan. In order to arrange loads more precisely and delicately, operators might slow the hoist near the end of a lift.
Electric hoists require a specific position in a facility since they are hardwired to a power supply. Wire rope and chain configurations are both available for electric hoists. Such material handling hoists are now stronger and more durable thanks to advancements in the wire rope or chain employed as the lifting medium.
Electric wire rope hoist
Electric wire rope hoists are ususally used for heavy material handling operation. The motor drives a set of gears, which then turns a grooved drum. The wire rope winds around the drum, as it turns and lifts the load. The most popular capacity of electric wire rope hoists are 5 ton, 10 ton, 15 to, and 20 ton for single girder and with hoist trolley for double girder, they can used for material handling with capacity up to 80 ton. They are typically employed for tasks like assembling automotive equipment.
Electric chain hoist
Electric chain hoists are for light loads handling which also provide true vertical lifting. A lift wheel is turned after an electric motor that turns a series of gears is started by an operator. As the chain passes over the wheel, pockets in the lift wheel catch the links, lifting the load. Chain that exits the wheel hangs or is gathered in a container beneath the hoist. Electric chain hoists can lift 0.5 ton. to 20 tons. The electric chain hoists are slower even if they are more mobile and smaller than wire rope hoists.
Manaul Lever Hoists:
Lever hoists are a sort of lifting device that can be used to raise and lower heavy items without the aid of a machine. In contrast to manual chain hoists, lever hoists have the distinct advantage of being able to lift and pull objects both vertically and horizontally. The lever hoist typically secures the load with a safety hook and has a top connection that swivels to make lifting simple from any angle possible. The load is raised or lowered depending on how much chain is released or drawn in using the lever. To begin raising, turn the lever clockwise until the weight is transferred into position. To begin lowering, turn the lever counterclockwise until the weight is transferred.
The mechanical lever hoists offered are made of lightweight, durable materials that make mounting of the chain hoist simple. The weight load limit of the product is easily lifted with the help of the lever hoists, which are simple to use (WLL).
Manual Chain Hoists:
A manual chain hoist is a lifting device used for lifting or lowering a load by a chain wrapped around a load wheel. The load is attached to the manual material handling hoist by means of a lifting hook.A lifting hook is used to secure the weight to the hoist. In chain hoists, the block is activated by pulling a loop of operational chain through it, which causes the block to accept the main lifting chain. The lift wheel over which the lift chain can operate is much larger than the lift chain itself. As a result, a wire rope hoist rated at the same working load may be physically much larger than a high-performance chain hoist.
