Dayton 2GTD4 electric chain hoist is ideal for faster lifting / lowering of loads with the help of drums wrapped with chains. This 15 feet hoist has an electric motor and pendant controller for lifting / lowering and accelerating / decelerating the hoist speed.
Features:
- Dayton 2GTD4 electric chain hoist provides thermal protection and is installed on a steel-rolled beam.
- This electric chain hoist is integrated with electromagnetic brakes, thereby preventing the fall of load while lifting.
Standards and Approvals:
- cUL
- NEMA
- ASME/ANSI B30.16
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How does an electric chain hoist operate?
A. Electric chain hoists come with an induction motor and a brake to ensure the load is held when lifting (enabling heavy objects / loads to be lifted safely). The motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy which can then lift the load / weight.
Q. What are the three different kinds of chain hoists?
A. The three different kinds of chain hoists are manual, air and electric. The manual and the air hoists are manufactured with hook pivots, reduction gears and swivels. These tools normally hang from a top hook or are moved cautiously and slowly while adjusting the height by a push or geared trolley.
Q. Can we pull horizontally with a chain hoist?
A. Chain hoists are designed to lower and lift loads vertically. It means that the load is moved in an up and down fashion with the load directly below the hook of the chain hoist.
