What Are Hoists?
Hoists are used to lift and move heavy objects and can be powered by electricity, air, or manual operation. Hoists can be paired with crane systems to move loads horizontally and vertically, and electric hoists are often used in industrial environments for fast and heavy lifting.At Materials Handling Solutions, we stock hoists tailored to different industries and designed for precision, safety, and durability. These hoists help you lift and move items more efficiently while keeping your workers and materials safe.
Why Use Hoists?
The advantages are clear when comparing hoists to manual lifting methods or even forklifts. Hoists offer a range of benefits, including:
Increased Load Capacity
Hoists can lift heavy loads, making it easier to move machinery and materials.
Precision Handling
Hoists offer precise control, making them ideal for handling delicate or large items, unlike forklifts, which may have difficulty with bulky or irregularly shaped objects.
Efficiency in Confined Spaces
Hoists are great for assistance in tight spaces like warehouses or industrial settings with narrow aisles or crowded floors.
Improved Security
Hoists enable a safe lifting action without the need to be directly underneath the loads, reducing the risk of injury. All hoists from MHS comply with strict Australian safety standards.
Versatility
You can choose the perfect hoisting solution for completing your specific lifting needs, regardless of your industry, with options such as chain hoists, electric hoists, and air-powered hoists.
