The choice between an electric hoist and a manual hoist should be based on the specific use scenario, budget, efficiency requirements, and working environment. If there is a stable power source: choose an electric hoist for higher efficiency. For no power supply/field work: consider a manual hoist or a lithium battery-powered electric hoist (make sure of its endurance). In cases of tight budgets, no power supply, or infrequent use, a manual hoist is more practical. Match the model according to specific needs. For small tonnage loads, a manual hoist can be chosen; for large tonnage loads, it is recommended to opt for an electric hoist. If rapid lifting is required, consider an electric hoist; if speed is not a concern and usage frequency is low, a manual hoist may be suitable.
