Electric chain hoists in 1 T, 2 T, and 5 T capacities with 6 m standard lift — for factory overhead lifting, loading bays, and workshop gantries — stocked at Multi Trade Combines, Guwahati, price on request.
A chain pulley block requires a human operator to pull a hand chain repeatedly, which is acceptable for occasional or low-cycle lifts. When the operation repeats dozens of times a day — unloading a delivery truck, positioning heavy moulds in a press shop, lifting engine blocks on a workshop gantry — manual hoisting is slow, exhausting, and risks inconsistent lift control. An electric chain hoist changes this equation: press a pendant button and the load rises smoothly and at the same speed every time, controlled by a single operator with both hands free to guide the load.
Factories along Guwahati's industrial belt at Amingaon, Bonda, and Sarusajai move heavy steel sections, machinery components, and packaged goods daily. A 1-tonne electric hoist handles engine blocks, steel coils, and heavy panels typical in fabrication shops. The 2-tonne version is specified for loading bays, precast concrete plank yards, and generator handling. The 5-tonne model serves steel-structure fabricators, paper-mill roll handling, and quarry workshops where heavy stone-cutting equipment needs periodic repositioning.
All three capacities in Multi Trade Combines' stock feature the standard 6 m chain drop, which suits most single-storey factory bays. The motor drives a load chain (alloy steel Grade 80) through a gearbox designed for frequent duty cycles. Upper and lower limit switches automatically cut power at the extreme travel positions, preventing chain overrun. A mechanical load brake holds the load stationary whenever the pendant control is released — unlike a friction brake that slowly slips under sustained load.
Pair this product with an I-beam geared trolley to build a simple overhead crane, or mount it on a fixed hook over a pit or press for single-axis lifts. Multi Trade Combines also stocks chain pulley blocks, wire rope slings, and trolley floor jacks to complete a site's full lifting and handling capability.

Chain hoists, pallet trucks, wire rope slings and more from Multi Trade Combines, Guwahati
The standard configuration offered is 6 m lift, which covers the majority of workshop and loading-bay applications. Extended lift configurations are available on request for taller factory bays or multi-storey applications. Always ensure the overhead beam or monorail is rated for the hoist's maximum working load plus the weight of the hoist itself and the rigging.
Yes. Electric chain hoists are commonly paired with an I-beam trolley (push-type or geared motor-driven) to create a full overhead crane system. The trolley mounts on the lower flange of an overhead I-beam or monorail, allowing the load to be traversed horizontally while being lifted vertically. Multi Trade Combines can advise on compatible trolley options for 1 T, 2 T, and 5 T hoists.
