As lifting equipment, electric chain hoist and electric wire rope hoist from China manufacturer have their own advantages and scope of application, but there are still differences between them. Today, I will tell you the difference between the two.

1. Volume
The main components of the electric chain hoist are the motor, the transmission mechanism and the sprocket, and the winding device is the chain; the main components of the electric wire rope hoist from China manufacturer are the motor, the transmission mechanism and the drum, and the winding device is the wire rope. In terms of volume, the electric wire rope hoist from China manufacturer is much larger than the electric chain hoist of the same specification, and sometimes even more than ten times larger.
2. Running distance
The electric wire rope hoist from China manufacturer must be parallel to the center line of the running track. If the electric chain hoist adopts the parallel installation method, the running distance will be much larger than that of the electric wire rope hoist from China manufacturer due to its size advantage. The center line of the track is 90 degrees, which is convenient and flexible, especially when the lifting height is large, the size of the wire rope electric hoist drum is large, and the difference will be more obvious.
3. Accuracy
The electric wire rope hoist from China manufacturer relies on the winding of the wire rope on the drum to control the lifting and lowering. With the axial arrangement and winding process of the wire rope, the hook will also have a horizontal displacement along the axis direction, and the displacement is proportional to the lifting height. When the lift height is larger, the error will become more obvious. The hook of the electric chain hoist is always along the plumb line of the chain, with little horizontal displacement and accurate positioning.
