Chain hoists and wire rope electric hoists are two common types of light-duty lifting equipment in the industrial lifting field, distinguished by the 'load-bearing component' used in their lifting mechanisms (chains vs. steel wires), which leads to significant differences in performance, application scenarios, and maintenance methods. Working Principle: Chain Hoist - Lifting mechanism uses high-strength alloy steel chain transmission, with the chain engaging with sprockets for operation - Guiding device, guide rail or sprocket set. Wire Rope Electric Hoist - Lifting mechanism uses multi-stranded steel wire (wound on a drum) - Transmission method, motor drives the drum to wind and unwind the steel wire - Guiding device, rope guides (to ensure the steel wire is neatly wound).
