Electric Chain Hoists High Super-Reduced
Ref. 13.2
Designed for applications with limited space, the ultra-low headroom electric chain hoist maximizes the usable lifting height within the building. The 29/06 EH, 29/06 EE and 29/12 HH models feature a patented chain reeving system that allows loads to be lifted almost up to the level of the overhead crane beam.
Features of low headroom hoists
-
-
- Maximum space optimization: compact design that reduces the distance between the bottom of the trolley and the hook, maximizing the usable lifting height.
- Guaranteed safety: equipped with overload protection through slip clutch up to 10 t and current limiter for higher capacities.
- High-quality components: high-strength zinc-plated RUD load chain compliant with EN 818-7-T standard.
- Precise control: electric models are supplied as standard with operating hour counter, thermal sensor and phase monitoring relay.

- ATEX version available on request for hazardous environments with explosion risk.
- Travel limit switches and adjustable lifting position limiters.
- Special paint finishes, stainless steel control panels and anti-condensation heaters for motors.
- Big Bag lifting attachments for handling bulky loads in confined spaces.
Frequently asked questions about ultra-low headroom hoists
What is the difference between a low headroom hoist and a conventional hoist?
The main difference lies in the chain reeving design. In a conventional model, the hoist body hangs below the trolley; in ultra-low headroom models, the system allows the hook to rise almost to beam level, gaining critical lifting height in buildings with low ceilings.
Can it be installed on any type of beam?
Yes, these units are designed to adapt to a wide range of beam profiles, including IPN, IPE and HEB beams. When placing the order, we simply need to know the flange width of the beam in order to configure the trolley accurately.
Can this hoist be used on curved tracks?
Yes, on request we can configure the equipment with articulated trolleys that allow travel along curved beams while maintaining the ultra-low headroom design.
What special maintenance does this chain system require?
Maintenance is very similar to that of a standard hoist, although it is essential to periodically check the chain guidance system due to its special reeving design. Thanks to the use of high-quality zinc-plated chain, wear resistance is excellent even under intensive operating conditions.
Is it suitable for hazardous environments with explosion risk?
The standard model is intended for general industrial use, but ATEX-certified versions can be supplied for areas with explosive gas or dust risk, including bronze hooks and anti-sparking components.
What happens if one electrical phase fails?
There is no risk to the motor. Electric models are equipped as standard with a phase monitoring relay that automatically stops the equipment if a power supply anomaly is detected, preventing the motor from operating under stress or in reverse direction.
Can I control the hoist remotely?
Of course. Although the standard configuration usually includes a pendant control, radio remote control installation is very common so the operator can handle the load safely and with improved visibility.
