Electric hoists and cranes (or hoists) are not exactly the same thing, but they both belong to the category of lifting machinery and have certain similarities and correlations.

Electric hoist

Electric hoist is a light and small lifting equipment, usually installed on I-beams, single beam cranes, gantry cranes, and cantilever cranes, for lifting, loading and unloading heavy objects. It has the characteristics of small size, light weight, easy operation, and easy maintenance. The lifting capacity of electric hoists is relatively limited and suitable for small and medium-sized lifting operations.

Crane (Crane)

Cranes are a wider range of lifting machinery, with a wide variety of types and specifications, including fixed and mobile types. Fixed cranes such as tower cranes, gantry cranes, etc. are usually installed in fixed positions for operations; Mobile cranes such as truck cranes, crawler cranes, etc. have better flexibility and maneuverability, and can perform lifting operations in different locations. Cranes have strong lifting capabilities and can complete tasks such as lifting and transporting large equipment.

The difference between electric hoist and crane

Lifting capacity: The lifting capacity of a crane is usually greater than that of an electric hoist, and it can handle heavier goods and more complex lifting tasks.

Application scope: Electric hoists are suitable for small and medium-sized lifting operation scenarios, such as workshops, warehouses, etc; Cranes are widely used in various industries, construction, ports, and other fields.

Installation method: Electric hoists are usually installed on other lifting machinery as their lifting mechanism; And the crane is an independent lifting equipment that can directly carry out lifting operations.

Operation method: The operation of electric hoist is relatively simple, usually operated through remote control or control buttons; The operation of cranes is even more complex, requiring professional personnel to operate and maintain them.
