The Following are Standard Features Included on Every EC Chain Hoist

Gearing & TransmissionGearing & Transmission

First stage helical gearing on EC small frame; first and third stage helical gearing on EC large frame. Transmission gears are precision machined of alloy steel and run in oil bath for longer, quieter operation.

Mechanical Load Brake Coffing EC HoistMechanical Load Brake

Weston type, controls load lowering and prevents load drift. Holds rated load independent of multiple disc motor brake.

Panel Plate - Coffing EC HoistPanel Plate

Provides easy access to controls and motor leads for changing voltages on dual-voltage motors or performing hoist maintenance. Connection wires are numbered to assist maintenance.

Five-Pocket Load SheaveFive-Pocket Load Sheave

Increases chain and sheave engagement 25% over hoists with conventional four-pocket sheaves. Provides smoother lifting and reduces chain wear over four-pocket sheaves.

Multiple Disc Brake MotorMultiple Disc Motor Brake

Heavy duty, direct acting design for positive load spotting and holding.

Limit SwitchesLimit Switches

Adjustable to regulate upper and lower load travel. Brass nuts standard for improved switch setting and repeatability. Stainless steel limit switch shaft standard.

Solid State Starting Switch - Coffing EC HoistSolid State Starting Switch

Standard on single phase units. Provides greater reliability and starting consistency than centrifugal switches. Fewer components to wear out or fail.

Mechanical Overload Protection DeviceMechanical Overload Protection

Protects hoist, operator, and supporting structures from damaging overloads, chain jamming, and reverse phasing.

Ergonomic Push ButtonErgonomic Push Button Station

Fits operator’s hand for thumb or two-handed operation. 24 Volt Control standard for operator safety. 115 Volt Control available upon request. NEMA 3R (weather resistant). Severe impact and chemical/corrosive atmosphere resistant.

Chain End Stop AssemblyChain End Stop Assembly

Fits below dead end link on lifting chain for an added measure of safety.
