Simplicity and ease of use – reliability and safety in operation – durability and convenience of maintenance. GIS electric chain hoists have been built and manufactured in Switzerland for over 50 years.
Electric chain hoists are used both in halls and in open air – working in temperatures from -15 °C to +50 °C.

10 values of GPM and GP chain hoists

Benefits

The GP electric chain hoist has a simple design and does not contain any sensitive electronics, which minimizes the risk of failure. It is characterized by a very quiet operation and long life, even in difficult conditions. 42 V low voltage control switch enables comfortable and safe operation. Maintenance is simple and quick. There is no need of any specialized tools.

Profile steel chain

The higher cross-sectional area reduces wear and increases the lifetime of the chain. The GP has a chain safety factor of at least 8-times (FEM, 2m, ISO, M5). The case hardened and manganese phosphated profile steel chain provides about 15% more capacity at an identical nominal diameter compared to the round steel chain.

Control switch

The control switch fits comfortably in your hand and is ergonomically designed. It is robust, impact-resistant, safe to operate and controlled by 42 V low voltage. Push buttons placed in parallel increase the ease of operation. The external strain relief protects the control cable. 

Polygonal connections

The inner part of the modularly designed chain hoist embodies real innovation. All shaft-hub connections are built to a polygonal design. This allows significantly faster disassembly and assembly during maintenance and thus reduces service costs. 

Protection class IP65

A feature of the hoist and the control switch is the protection class IP65. It is dust proof and protected against water jets. As it is compact and robust designed, the GP is best suited for dusty environments as well as for outdoor operation. 

Use

GIS electric chain hoists are used wherever work safety is important: in multi-shift operation, Automotive industry, in a dusty or chemically aggressive environment, for outdoor work, in the entertainment industry or in wind farms, where loads need to be lifted to a great height. GIS electric chain hoists meet the highest requirements.
