5+ ton Chain Hoist
5+ ton chain hoists represent the heavy-duty tier of manual and powered chain hoisting equipment, covering capacities from 10 tons (4,536 kg) through 14,000 kg and beyond. This size class is engineered for industrial plant machinery installation, large structural steel assemblies, and heavy equipment rigging operations where lighter hoists cannot safely handle the loads. These units sit at the top of the chain hoist ladder, succeeding the 2-5 ton size class for applications requiring maximum capacity.

Spécifications clés
| Spécification | Plage typique | Signification |
|---|---|---|
| Load capacity | 4,536–14,000 kg (5–15 ton) | Maximum rated working load; exceeding capacity compromises safety and structural integrity of the hoist and rigging. |
| Lift mechanism | Electric or air-powered chain | Manual operation becomes impractical at these capacities; most units in this class feature powered hoisting. |
| Chain grade | Grade 80 or Grade 100 alloy steel | High-strength alloy chain rated for heavy industrial loads with appropriate safety factors. |
| Duty cycle | Intermittent or continuous industrial | Designed for plant environments with frequent or sustained lifting operations, not occasional use. |
Comment choisir
The 5+ ton chain hoist is appropriate for plant machinery installation, large structural steel members, heavy industrial assembly work, and equipment rigging where loads exceed 5 tons. When lifting capacity requirements fall between 2 and 5 tons, the 2-5 ton Chain Hoist class offers lighter, more maneuverable equipment with lower overhead costs and simpler mounting requirements. The 5+ ton class is warranted only when verified load calculations—including rigging hardware, below-the-hook devices, and safety factors—confirm that lighter equipment cannot safely handle the lift.
Ce que cette taille peut gérer
- Installing turbine components, generators, and heavy rotating machinery in power plants
- Erecting wide-flange structural steel beams and columns in industrial construction
- Positioning injection molding machines, stamping presses, and CNC equipment during plant installation
- Lifting transformer assemblies and heavy electrical switchgear in utility substations
- Rigging and placing bridge girders and large precast concrete elements
- Assembling heavy mining equipment and process vessels in fabrication shops
Sécurité et opération
- Load testing and inspection intervals follow ASME B30.16 and manufacturer specifications; documentation required for compliance
- Mounting structures and support beams must be engineered for combined static and dynamic loads with appropriate safety factors
- Operators require training in heavy rigging procedures, load calculations, and site-specific lift planning protocols
- Below-the-hook devices, slings, and rigging hardware must be rated for the full capacity and inspected before each lift
Transport et logistique
- Hoists in this class typically weigh 100–300+ kg and ship as freight via pallet or crate
- Mounting hardware, beam trolleys, and support structures often require separate transport and coordination
- Overhead crane or forklift required at destination for unloading and positioning heavy hoist assemblies
Alimentation
- Electric models require 208–480V three-phase power with appropriately rated branch circuits and disconnects
- Pneumatic units operate on compressed air at 90–120 PSI with large-volume supply lines to support duty cycle
- Control pendants and remote systems must be compatible with site power infrastructure and safety interlock requirements
