Chain Hoist

Description

Robust chain hoist with a maximum load capacity of 1000 kg and chain length of 10 meters. Ideal for hanging truss constructions, speakers, and lighting. A chain hoist can be used for many purposes, but in the audiovisual industry, it is mainly used for hanging various materials. This can include hanging truss constructions, speakers, lighting, and screens.

Theoretically, you can hang almost all audiovisual equipment. If you plan to hang equipment at the event location, we always recommend having it planned and installed by a professional. Hanging materials above visitors is not without risk. The materials must be 100% securely mounted and all equipped with fall protection. After all, you don’t want materials falling down during the event.

How do I use a chain hoist?

Once it has been decided to hang items from the venue’s ceiling, it’s important to properly assess all loads. In addition to the load on the material and a hoist, you must also carefully consider the load on the roof structure of the venue. Everything ultimately hangs from this. Other important factors are, of course, the possibilities at the location. Are you even allowed to attach one or more chain hoists to the venue’s ceiling, or is there an additional fee for this? Have you, for example, already thought about organizing a cherry picker?

Attaching this Verlinde chain hoist to the roof structure cannot be done with a ladder. These are all things to consider in advance. This chain hoist has a maximum load capacity of 1000 kg. This means that this chain hoist can safely handle a static load of this weight. The chain length of this hoist is 10 meters. In short, this hoist is suitable for locations up to 10 meters high. Is your location higher? Then contact us for the possibilities.

How does using a chain hoist work during a trade show?

If you want to provide a trade show booth with proper lighting, the use of truss is essential. These robust construction materials provide a stable and reliable base for mounting various lamps. To make optimal use of the valuable floor space, it is often chosen to hang this construction from the venue’s ceiling. However, this cannot be done just like that. Imagine if everyone started hanging materials from the ceiling of the exhibition hall. There would be no control over the load and associated safety.

For trade shows, it is therefore important to contact the exhibition organization before building the booth to check the possibilities and, of course, costs. Requesting suspension points above your booth costs money, but this way they take care of the complete load on the roof and associated safety. Of course, we can arrange this request and costs when renting lighting for your trade show booth. Have you already seen our examples with hanging truss or square construction?

What else do I need when renting a chain hoist?

It should be clear. Organizing and using hoists at an event requires quite a bit of specific knowledge and permission. We do not recommend using hoists on your own. Unless you are an audiovisual professional yourself, of course. If you are a professional and need accessories in addition to using a chain hoist, such as a cherry picker, shackles, softsteels or lifting eyes? No problem. Can’t find something or are you looking for a specific product? Feel free to ask us about the possibilities and availability of materials.
