Electric Chain Hoists
Choose a Configuration
An electric chain hoist uses an electric motor to raise and lower a load through its load chain. Compare HHXG, SG, SGW, and SGW+P series by electrical supply and lifting configuration, then review the model data for the series you need.
Compare the SEAGULL Series
| Series | Documented selection points | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| HHXG | Rated loads from 500 to 5,000 kg; single-phase and three-phase options are described in the series literature | Review HHXG model data |
| SG | Separate single-phase and three-phase model groups; lifting speed varies with the selected model | Explore SG electric chain hoists |
| SGW | Catalog range of 0.5–10 t; three-phase supply configurations listed for 200–440 V, 50/60 Hz | Explore SGW electric chain hoists |
| SGW+P | Catalog range of 0.5–10 t; two lifting speeds are listed at 50 Hz; three-phase supply configurations cover 200–600 V, 50/60 Hz | Explore SGW+P electric chain hoists |
Here, t means metric tonnes. Confirm the exact voltage and frequency for the quoted model. The listed supply ranges cover different configurations. Match the quoted configuration to the site supply.
Choose the Installation and Electrical Configuration
Suspension and Travel
Describe whether the load needs to move vertically at one location or travel along a beam. For trolley travel, include the beam flange width, connection arrangement, and preferred travel method.
Power Supply
State voltage, phase, and frequency together. A single-phase supply and a three-phase supply require different configurations, even when the required lifting capacity is the same.
Lifting Speed
Specify the required lifting speed and whether a lower positioning speed is needed. For example, the SGW+P-01001SF catalog entry lists 6.6 and 1.65 m/min at 50 Hz. Confirm the required speed for a 60 Hz application in the inquiry.
Match the Hoist to the Lifting Cycle
Include the maximum load, typical load, lifting distance, and expected lifts per hour. These details help define the operating requirement beyond capacity alone. Add available headroom and the operating environment when space or site conditions limit the choice.
Stage Equipment
For stage equipment inquiries, review the separate ST-T1 series and describe the application. Stage use and required approvals need to be checked for the selected equipment and installation.
