An electric hoist is a device used to lift and lower heavy objects with the help of an electric motor. It typically consists of a hook or platform, a lifting mechanism, and a power source. Electric hoists are commonly used in construction, warehouses, and manufacturing to move materials safely and efficiently. These hoists can handle various weights and are available in different types, such as chain hoists and wire rope hoists. They are designed to improve productivity and reduce the risk of injury by minimizing manual lifting. Electric hoists are essential tools in many industries.
