Hoists

Precise and Powerful Lifting Tools for Every Industrial Application

Hoists

Hoists are essential components in material handling systems, offering lifting capacities from 250 pounds to over 100 tons. Available in manual, electric, and pneumatic configurations, hoists are ideal for construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics operations. These versatile lifting devices can be integrated with gantry, jib, monorail, or overhead crane systems, making them a flexible solution for vertical load movement. Designed to fit a wide range of operational needs, hoists can be selected based on load requirements, lift height, and speed.

Engineered for ease of use, hoists offer features such as variable speed control, ergonomic pendant stations, and wireless remote options. These controls enhance operator comfort and reduce fatigue, while precision load handling reduces the risk of damage to products and equipment. Whether for repetitive tasks or precise assembly applications, hoists provide the accuracy and control needed for safe, efficient operations.

All hoists supplied by Hercules Lifting meet or exceed OSHA and CSA standards. Safety features include load brakes, overload protection, and emergency shutoff controls to ensure consistent and secure operation. Routine inspections and preventative maintenance further support equipment longevity and operator safety.
