Hoists

What Is a Hoist?

The hoist is the component of the crane that moves loads vertically. It is mounted to a trolley and travels along one or more horizontal beams, called cross girders, to move the hoist from side-to-side (between the runways). Hoists generally are available with single hooks standard, but many choices exist for ‘below-the-hook’ devices to accommodate specialty lifting requirements.

Hoists are available in two basic designs: chain and wire rope. Hoists can be hand-operated or powered electrically or pneumatically.

Much like crane systems, hoists are rated according to duty cycle by the Hoist Manufacturers Institute (HMI).

Hoists from NAI

NAI designs crane systems using either chain or wire rope hoists, depending on the particular project requirements. We represent all major hoist brands. For each project that we undertake, we recommend a particular hoist based on features required, reliability, quality and cost factors.

NAI Regularly Provides Hoists from the Following Manufacturers:
