cromox® stainless-steel hoist and hoist trolley

The cromox® hoists and hoist trolleys offer numerous advantages that make them a preferred choice for many industrial and workshop applications. Their high corrosion resistance allows them to be used even in aggressive environments. The use of high-quality materials ensures their durability and reliability. Thus, they are suitable for use in rooms with up to 100% humidity. The products are also characterized by their suitability for use in clean rooms. This is ensured by the sealed brake and gear unit. The rotatable hook mount and load hook, even under full load, provide additional flexibility and safety when lifting and moving loads at full lifting height. The cromox® hoists and hoist trolleys set standards in the industry with tested conformity to DIN EN 13157. You can get individual chain lengths on request. For the features of the different models, please refer to the respective individual description. There you will find the exact technical dimensions, the tare weight and the customs tariff number.

The two terms are often used synonymously in everyday use, but also by various suppliers. However, this is not accurate. Lifting device is the more general term. A hoist, on the other hand, is a specific type of lifting equipment used to raise or lower loads. The term lifting device is the collective name for a wide range of mechanical or hydraulic devices used to lift heavy loads. This includes the crane as well as the spur gear block and tackle, the wire rope hoist, the chain hoist, the cable winch or even the forklift. On the other hand, the chain hoist is a specific hoist that is operated with a chain or rope as an accessory. It is operated manually, by lever, electrically or hydraulically. The chain or rope is guided by rollers.

The material 1.4404 - AISI 316L, grade G60, is a high-quality stainless-steel known for its corrosion resistance, strength and durability. It is used in cromox® hoists and hoist trolleys and meets the requirements of EN 13157, a standard that specifies the safety requirements for hand-operated hoists and provides details of design criteria. This includes the dimensions, tolerances and other requirements for the lifting equipment. The cromox® products and accessories made of this stainless-steel are suitable for low temperatures as well as heat resistant. This underlines their versatility in various fields of application. The material used at Ketten-Wälder and the cromox® products themselves are tested in our in-house test laboratory and meet the highest standards. The test laboratory itself is certified by Lloyd's Register.
