The Jayco Electric Chain Hoist with Motorized Trolley provides both vertical lifting and horizontal load movement, making it an efficient solution for production lines, warehouses, engineering workshops, fabrication shops, assembly units, maintenance departments, and industrial material handling applications.

Jayco Electric Chain Hoists are available in different capacities and lifting heights and can be customized according to application requirements. The current Jayco specification range includes 500 kg to 5,000 kg safe working load and lifting heights up to 30 metres.

For specialized requirements, Jayco also provides fixed and travelling configurations, including motorized travelling trolleys, geared travelling trolleys, and manual push-pull trolley arrangements.

What is an Electric Chain Hoist?

An Electric Chain Hoist is an electrically powered lifting machine that uses a high-strength load chain to raise and lower heavy materials safely and accurately.

Unlike manual chain pulley blocks, an electric chain hoist uses an electric motor and gearbox to perform lifting operations, reducing operator effort and improving lifting speed and control.

An electric chain hoist can be installed as a fixed hoist or combined with a travelling trolley for horizontal movement along an overhead beam.

Electric Chain Hoists are commonly used for:

  • Industrial material lifting
  • Machine handling
  • Production line operations
  • Workshop lifting
  • Assembly operations
  • Warehouse material handling
  • Maintenance applications
  • Fabrication work
  • EOT crane systems
  • Jib crane systems
  • Monorail lifting systems

Electric Chain Hoist Capacity

Jayco Electric Chain Hoists are currently specified for 500 kg to 5 Ton safe working loads.

The older Jayco product page also describes configurations extending to higher capacities for customized requirements, including applications requiring specialized lifting and travelling arrangements. For a project-specific capacity, the final rating should be confirmed by Jayco’s engineering team.

Common capacity applications include:

  • 500 kg Electric Chain Hoist
  • 1 Ton Electric Chain Hoist
  • 2 Ton Electric Chain Hoist
  • 3 Ton Electric Chain Hoist
  • 5 Ton Electric Chain Hoist

For higher-capacity lifting applications, consider a Wire Rope Electric Hoist or an appropriately engineered EOT crane system.

Electric Chain Hoist with Motorized Trolley

An Electric Chain Hoist with Motorized Trolley combines vertical lifting with powered horizontal movement.

The motorized trolley travels along an overhead beam, allowing the suspended load to be moved between different working positions.

This configuration is particularly useful for:

  • Production lines
  • Fabrication shops
  • Assembly stations
  • Engineering workshops
  • Machine shops
  • Maintenance areas
  • Material handling systems

Jayco specifies cross-travel speeds of 5–20 metres/minute, with creep speed available as an option.

Fixed Type Electric Chain Hoist

A Fixed Electric Chain Hoist is mounted at a fixed point and is primarily used where vertical lifting is required without horizontal travel.

It is suitable for:

  • Workstations
  • Machine maintenance
  • Assembly operations
  • Workshop lifting
  • Production machinery
  • Material handling points

Fixed configurations can provide a compact and economical lifting solution where trolley movement is not required.

Electric Chain Hoist with Geared Trolley

A geared trolley allows the electric chain hoist to travel along a beam through a manually operated geared mechanism.

This configuration is suitable where:

  • Precise manual positioning is required
  • Travel frequency is moderate
  • Electrical cross travel is unnecessary
  • A simple trolley arrangement is preferred

Jayco’s earlier product information identifies geared travelling trolleys as one of its chain hoist trolley configurations.

Electric Chain Hoist with Push-Pull Trolley

A Push-Pull Trolley Electric Chain Hoist allows the operator to position the suspended load by manually pushing or pulling the trolley along the beam.

It is suitable for applications where:

  • Frequent powered travel is not required
  • Simple load positioning is sufficient
  • Cost-effective trolley movement is preferred
  • Compact lifting equipment is required

Jayco identifies manual push-pull travelling trolleys among its available trolley arrangements.

Electric Chain Hoist for Low Headroom Applications

Jayco Electric Chain Hoists feature a compact low-headroom design, making them suitable for installations where available vertical clearance is limited.

Low-headroom configurations can help maximize available lifting height without unnecessarily increasing the overall installation envelope.
