Why Choose a Liftket Hoist?

LIFTKET Star Electric Chain Hoists feature a robust and compact construction with relatively low headroom. Designed as a complete modular hoist, these units are easy to service and maintain, with good access to parts. All hoists follow a generic manufacturing format, making many parts suitable for all hoist models, and they all share the same wiring configurations. Integrated heavy-duty upper and lower trip limit switches are standard, with the option of geared limit switches or automotive switches for enhanced safety. These devices extend the working life of the overload clutch, motor and gearbox.

Versatile Mounting Options

The Liftket Star Electric Chain Hoist can be supplied with various suspension options. It starts with a simple lifting eye for mounting onto a fixed beam clamp or a moving trolley, creating an integral and fixed mounting. A top suspension can also be supplied, allowing for a non-permanent fix, which means the hoist can be quickly and easily removed from its mounting point if needed. If the hoist is required to move along a beam or crane, the Liftket chain hoist can be equipped with either a non-motorised push-along trolley or a two-speed electric trolley. All options are available from stock with fast delivery.

Product Details

The Liftket Electric Hoist is supplied fully tested and in good working order. It includes operating instructions and a relevant conformity certificate, along with a standard 12-month manufacturer’s warranty.

Please note: According to prevailing national and international occupational safety and health regulations, hoisting equipment must be inspected at least annually by a competent person. Adverse working conditions may require shorter inspection periods.

For annual servicing on this product or any similar products, please contact our Sales Team at ULS on sales@ulslifting.com or on 01384 986 026.
