Electric Chain Hoist Models
An electric hoist is the most basic lifting equipment: it lifts and lowers a load at a single point or carries it along an I-beam. Beta Crane BVZ series electric chain hoists come in 1, 2 and 3 t capacities, in 2-motion and 4-motion versions.
Choosing by Motion and Capacity
- 2-motion (suspension hook): Hangs from a fixed point; lifts and lowers the load. Standard lifting height 3 m.
- 4-motion (electric trolley): Runs on an I-beam; lifts, lowers and carries the load along the beam. Standard lifting height 6 m, travel speed 11 m/min.
- 1 t: For workshops, assembly lines and workstation lifting.
- 2 t: Mid range: fast with single fall, lower chain and motor load with double fall.
- 3 t: With 1/1, 2/1 and 3/1 reeving options for heavy parts and moulds.
Key Features
- Single or dual speed lifting: The slow step makes precise positioning easy.
- 24 V control: Low-voltage pendant control for operator safety.
- Durable drive: Copper-wound motor and heat-treated gears; suitable for humid and dusty environments.
- ISO M4 duty class: For intensive use in workshops and production lines.
- Easy installation: Chain supplied to the required length; connects to a 3 phase 220 – 440 V, 50 / 60 Hz supply.
Technical Comparison Table
| Capacity | Chain reeving | Lifting speed (single / dual) | Lifting motor | Chain diameter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1000 kg (1 t) | 1/1 | 6.8 / 2.3 m/min | 1.5 / 0.6 kW | 7.1 mm |
| 1000 kg (1 t) | 2/1 | 3.6 / 1.2 m/min | 1.1 / 0.37 kW | 6.3 mm |
| 2000 kg (2 t) | 1/1 | 6.6 / 2.2 m/min | 3.0 / 1.0 kW | 10.0 mm |
| 2000 kg (2 t) | 2/1 | 3.4 / 1.1 m/min | 1.5 / 0.6 kW | 7.1 mm |
| 3000 kg (3 t) | 1/1 | 5.6 / 1.8 m/min | 3.0 / 1.0 kW | 11.2 mm |
| 3000 kg (3 t) | 2/1 | 3.3 / 1.1 m/min | 3.0 / 1.0 kW | 10.0 mm |
| 3000 kg (3 t) | 3/1 | 2.2 / 0.8 m/min | 1.5 / 0.6 kW | 7.1 mm |
On 4-motion models the travel motor is 0.4 kW for 1 and 2 t and 0.75 kW for 3 t; the suitable I-beam range is 80 – 160 mm for 1 t, 82 – 178 mm for 2 t and 100 – 180 mm for 3 t.
Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Hoists
How much do electric hoists cost? Prices vary with tonnage capacity, lifting height and the movement type of the product (fixed or monorail). Beta Crane quotes a price tailored to your capacity, motion type and lifting height. Please request a quote for the current list.
Which type of hoist should I choose: chain or wire rope? For precise lifting at low and medium tonnages (up to 5 tons), electric chain hoists are more economical and longer lasting. Wire rope hoists should be preferred for very high tonnages and extreme heights.
Is hoist installation difficult? Our products are shipped on a plug-and-play basis, with the electrical panel and control ready. If you already have a rail or hook, you can make the connection and start using it straight away.
