The pneumatic chain hoist is specifically designed for flammable and explosive environments. Recently, a Greek customer contacted us and explained that they need hoists for their chemical engineering workshops. However, they do not know what types of hoists are suitable. We have so many foreign clients using our pneumatic hoists in their chemical engineering workshops, and they give us good feedback after put in use. Therefore, the pneumatic hoists are the best choice for them. We have different air hoist types for their reference. After confirming the use environment, we know their lift frequency and the weight of objects again. Through the factory tour, they decided to order a pneumatic chain hoist with 2 ton lifting capacity from us. In addition, we not only sell a hoist, but also we also provide after-sales service, including installation instructions and hoist maintenance, etc. If you also need a pneumatic hoist or special needs, please feel free to contact us, and we will set up a personalized solution and send you a competitive price.
Pneumatic chain hoists are lifting devices powered by compressed air, with the core feature of using a circular chain as the lifting component and achieving the lifting and horizontal movement of heavy objects through a pneumatic system. It is mainly used in special environments such as oil, chemical, and coal mines that are flammable, explosive, highly dusty, or highly corrosive. Our air-operated chain hoists have multiple advantages, including fast operation speed, suitable for high-frequency continuous operations; compact structure, easy to install and move, etc. Besides the air operated chain hoist, we also manufacture and supply fixed type air hoists, trolley type pneumatic hoists, and air winches, etc. For any needs, please feel free to get in touch with us.
There are significant differences between pneumatic chain hoists and electric chain hoists in terms of driving principles, performance parameters, safety features, and application scenarios.
Pneumatic chain hoists use compressed air as the power source, converting pneumatic energy into mechanical energy through pneumatic motors to drive planetary reducers and hoisting systems for lifting heavy objects. Electric chain hoists rely on electrical energy, using electric motors to drive the chain winding to complete lifting operations.
Air powered hoists use air as the power source, have no risk of electric sparks or leakage during operation, and possess inherent explosion-proof characteristics, making them suitable for flammable, explosive, high-temperature, high-dust, or corrosive environments. Electric chain hoists have the potential for electrical leakage and sparks, requiring additional protective measures, and are typically used in conventional industrial settings. Additionally, pneumatic hoists are less prone to overheating during frequent operations and can run continuously; electric hoists are prone to motor overheating during long-term high-load operations and require intermittent breaks.
Air chain hoists have a compact structure, with small and lightweight pneumatic motors, connected by air tubes without the need for cables, and are relatively easy to maintain. Chain electric hoists rely on motors and electrical control systems, have a more complex structure, and require more components for explosion-proof design. Pneumatic hoists can achieve stepless speed regulation and precise positioning through control valves, with higher positioning accuracy; electric hoists have weaker speed regulation capabilities and relatively lower positioning accuracy.
Pneumatic chain hoists are widely used in industries with high explosion-proof requirements, such as chemical engineering, petroleum, coal mining, and shipbuilding, as well as in high-temperature and dusty environments. Electric chain hoists are mostly used in places with stable power supplies, such as mechanical processing, equipment maintenance, and logistics warehousing.
Choosing the right hoist requires a comprehensive consideration of factors such as the usage scenario, load requirements, operation mode, safety performance, and cost-effectiveness. At first, you should determine whether the hoist will be used in a factory, warehouse, outdoors, or a home setting, as this will affect the requirements for protection grade, size, and material. Meanwhile, if the operation is frequent or precise control is needed, electric hoists with buttons or remote control are more labor-saving and efficient; for temporary or power-free scenarios, hand chain hoists are more flexible and economical. Furthermore, if you need a hoist that will be used in explosive environments, the air hoist will be an ideal choice for you. In addition, the hoist brand and after-sales service are also important references. For example, Dejun Industrial is a well-known hoist manufacturer in China. We are good at providing different hoists according to your needs. Welcome to contact us for technical details.
