Push Travel Trolley
If horizontal movement is required a low headroom push travel trolley can be used.
Eurochain VR Electric Chain Hoist – Low Headroom (VR5 / VR12)
The Eurochain VR Electric Chain Hoist coupled with low headroom trolley provides maximum headroom for operations where there are headroom constraints and is available in a variety of different configurations. The configuration most suitable for your low headroom operation is entirely dependent on its application. The VR with low headroom trolley is also available in an ATEX version for use in Zone 22: Hazardous Dust Environments.
For a standard 1,000kg electric chain hoist with motorised travel trolley the minimum hook height would be 585mm, however for the same hoist configured with a low headroom trolley the minimum hook height is reduced to 444mm providing an additional 141mm of headroom which is valuable for operations where every millimetre counts.
- With an extensive range of lifting speeds available
- Simplified maintenance operations reduce downtime
- Broader range of lifting capacities
- The clutch position ensures the load is held by the brake regardless of the machines daily operating conditions

WIRE ROPE HOISTS VS. CHAIN HOISTS
Both wire rope hoists wire rope hoists and chain hoists are robust lifting appliances that are widely used across numerous industry sectors in a variety of lifting applications. Wire rope hoists have higher lifting capacities and our range of Eurobloc VT electric wire rope hoists are able to lift up to 250 tonnes, compared with 10 tonnes from our electric chain hoists and 50 tonnes from our manual chain hoists. The greater lifting capacity is one of the factors that makes wire rope hoists a more expensive option compared with a chain hoist, but there are other things to consider when trying to decide whether a wire rope hoist or a chain hoist would be better suited to your operation.
WHEN DOES YOUR HOIST NEED A GENERAL OVERHAUL OR TO BE REPLACED?
Hoists, whether they are electric chain hoists, manual chain hoists, electric wire rope hoists or electric belt hoists are all manufactured with 10 years of serviceable life before a major overhaul or replacement is required. The ten year service life may not necessarily be a physical ten years of operation, but may be used up more quickly or slowly based on how the machine is being operated during its working life.
In order to help evaluate the working life of a hoist you need to be able to calculate how much of the original manufacturers Safe Working Period exists after your lifting operations have occurred.
