Accolift® CLH Electric Chain Hoist

CLH Electric Chain Hoists feature lower headroom than conventional hoists. Due to their compact size, these hoists fit well into jib crane and light rail applications.

CLH Electric Chain Hoists are available with hook suspension, push / pull trolley or a motorized trolley. All hoists are available as single speed or inverter controlled.

Friction Clutch & Upper Limit Switch

The friction clutch is an overload protection device that prevents lifting when overloaded. When the hoist is raised to high hook, the upper limit switch activates and stops the hoist motor (up direction only). This prevents unnecessary clutch wear.

Hoist Motor Brake

Simple fast acting conical style motor brake for years of trouble-free operations.

Push Button Controls

Compact design to enable one-handed operation. Rated NEMA 4 protection. Mushroom on/off button included. Push button cable has strain relief built in to prevent cable damage.

Electric Control Panel Available with Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for all motions

Single speed hoists are reconnectable for 208/230/460V power supply. Controls are housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure. Standard control transformer output is 115V with an option available for 48V. Standard power supply cord length is 15'.

Variable Frequency Drive

VFD hoists are available programmed for 2-speed operations. VFD hoists can be supplied for 230-1-60, 208/230-3-60 and 460-3-60 power supplies. Inverter provides run time for maintenance operations.

Heavy-Duty Hoist Motor

The hoist motor is a high torque design and is rated 30-minute duty (single phase, single speed motors are rated 20-minute). Class F motor insulation and standard thermal motor protection is included.

Load Sheave / Chain Guide

Full floating chain guide assures proper engagement of chain on load sheave. Load Sheave features 5 pockets for smoother operation and better distribution of the load. Hoist body includes a part for visual inspection of the load sheave.

Grade 80 load chain

Grade 80 load chain is case hardened and has a high resistance to wear and corrosion. All hoists are stocked with 20 feet of lift. Longer lifts are available per requirement. Nickel Plated load chain and Stainless-Steel load chain is available as an option.

Hooks

Load hook is a forged carbon steel hook with a heavy-duty hook latch. Thrust bearing in hook allows 360 degrees rotation to prevent twisting of load chain. Top hook, for hook suspended hoists, is nonrotating. Bullard hooks, Stainless Steel hooks and Bronze hooks are available as an option.

Chain Container

Chain container is standard equipment and is either molded with thick polypropylene material or fabricated from steel to securely contain the chain and chain lubricant. Optional canvas containers and engineered containers for long lift applications are available as an option.

Gearbox/Oil Lubrication

The gearbox utilizes an alloy steel helical and spur gear reduction. Gear lubrication is easily accessible from the top of the hoist. The gearbox includes an inspection port foe chain pocket wheel. Food grade oil is available as an option.

Push/Pull Trolley

Trolley is adjustable for a range of 3.25" to 12" flange widths with no additional materials required. Side guide rollers are included to promote smooth trolley motion and to minimize wheel and beam wear. Wheels are dual tread design for operation on tapered of flat flange beams. Trolleys include drop down lugs and rubber bumpers as standard equipment.

Motorized Trolley

Trolley is adjustable for a range of 3.25” to 12” flange widths with no additional materials required. Side guide rollers are included to promote smooth trolley motion and to minimize wheel and beam wear. Wheels are dual tread design for operation on tapered or flat flange beams. Trolleys include drop down lugs and rubber bumpers as standard equipment. Trolley motor includes class F insulation and a conical motor brake. Motor is rated for 30-minute duty (single phase, single speed motors are rated 20-minute) and includes standard thermal motor protection.
