Electric Hoists
Choose a Configuration
Choose the lifting mechanism first, then match the hoist to the power supply and installation. SEAGULL offers electric chain hoists and CD/MD wire rope hoists, with separate series information for load, lift, and configuration.
Compare Lifting Mechanisms
| Product family | Lifting mechanism | Series to review |
|---|---|---|
| Electric chain hoists | An electric motor drives the load chain | HHXG, SG, SGW, SGW+P, and the separate ST-T1 stage series |
| Wire rope hoists | Wire rope winds onto a drum | CD and MD models |
Define the Electrical Supply
SG and HHXG literature includes single-phase and three-phase configurations. SGW and SGW+P list three-phase supply ranges. State the site’s voltage, phase, and frequency so the inquiry identifies a specific electrical configuration.
Where two lifting speeds are required, review SGW+P or the MD wire rope models. Speed figures must be read with their frequency and model conditions.
Match Suspension and Travel
For a fixed lifting point, describe the supporting connection. For beam travel, include the beam section, flange width, travel length, and required travel method. Hoist lifting and trolley travel are separate motions to specify.
Describe the Lifting Application
For production equipment, include the load, lift height, and expected lifting cycle. For an existing installation, add a drawing showing the support and available space. Stage equipment has a separate series page and requires an application-specific review of the installation and approvals.
