VEVOR Electric Chain Hoist Single Phase Crane Hoist 499 kg Load 457.2 cm Lifting

Single Phase Chain Hoist with 1100 lbs Capacity for Heavy-Load Applications

If a project often requires lifting loads considerably outside the capacity of a light-duty hoist, you need equipment rated and constructed for that type of operation. This single phase chain hoist can lift 1100 lbs (499 kg) and is more than capable of handling heavy machinery parts, massive car parts, structural elements, and other heavy loads encountered in serious workshop or industrial operations. That capacity puts it in a class by itself compared to entry-level hoists and makes it a practical tool for anyone who regularly does heavy lifting.

It operates on a conventional single phase AC 230V 50Hz supply. It is therefore suitable for use in most workshops, garages, and light industrial areas where a three-phase power supply is not available. At 50.6 lbs (22.9 kg) and 15.0 x 8.2 x 20.1 inches, it’s a bigger and heavier unit than smaller-capacity hoists, which indicates the more robust internal components required to carry 1100 lbs safely.

G100 Alloy Steel Chain with 0.25 in Diameter for Superior Strength

The single phase chain hoist is rated to the G100 standard, which exceeds the G80 grade used on lighter-capacity models. It is built from 8620 alloy steel with heat treatment that greatly increases tensile strength and resistance to deformation under stress. The G100 is aimed at applications with larger loads and the requirement for increased safety margins, which is precisely what this hoist is designed for.

The chain wire diameter is 0.25 in (6.3 mm), which is notably thicker than the 4mm chains used on smaller-capacity versions and reflects the need to consistently lift loads up to 1100 lbs. Thicker, higher-grade chains also wear more predictably over time, so it’s easier to notice signs of strain, stretching, or surface damage during routine inspections before they become a safety issue. The G100 chain is a crucial element that makes this machine reliable for anyone using a single phase chain hoist under harsh conditions in professional or high-frequency operation.

580W Copper Motor Built for High-Load Continuous Operation

The center-mounted 580W copper-wound motor provides the power for this hoist to reliably carry 1100 lbs with little strain or overheating during continuous use. Copper windings conduct electricity more efficiently than aluminum equivalents, which means less energy is lost as heat during operation and a higher percentage of the motor’s rated power is used to move the load. This efficiency is important, especially for a large number of consecutive lifts during a workday.

A large radiator fan is built into the motor housing to draw heat away from the windings and core during extended operation. The fan runs with the motor whenever the hoist is in use, so cooling is automatic and continuous, not something you have to manage or schedule. The 580W rating here is about three times the output of the 205W motor used in the lighter 330-lb variant, allowing it to handle loads over three times heavier.

15 ft Maximum Lifting Height at 9.2 ft/min for Tall Bay Applications

The 15 ft (4.5 m) maximum lift height makes this hoist perfect for larger workshop bays, high-ceilinged garages, mezzanine loading areas, and commercial locations that standard 10 ft hoists can’t reach. That increased 5 ft of vertical range opens up more applications – lifting goods onto raised platforms, pulling engines in tall vehicles, or working in structures with higher structural clearance. The 15 ft height is a major improvement if you have been constrained by a shorter reach hoist in the past.

The lifting speed is rated at 9.2 ft/min (2.8 m/min), which is faster than the 7.5 ft/min on the lower-capacity 330-lb variant and reflects the more powerful motor controlling the chain action. Even with the increase in speed, the lift is still controlled enough that you don’t lose placement precision for throughput. The 15 ft range and 9.2 ft/min speed combination means this hoist transports larger loads over greater distances in less time.

Electromagnetic Brake and Emergency Stop for Controlled Safe Lifts

When the motor is switched off, the electromagnetic brake instantly engages, locking the chain and preventing any load drift or uncontrolled lowering during a halt or stop. It is not a passive friction brake that wears out over time, but an active electromagnetic device that reacts quickly when the motor stops receiving power. For loads at the 1100-lb level, a brake that holds without slip is not an optional safety feature; it is a must-have.

The emergency stop switch provides the operator with an instant way to shut off power to the entire system if something unexpected occurs during a lift. If a cargo moves, an impediment is in the way, or any other condition requires an immediate stop, the emergency stop is easy to reach and quick to engage. The electromagnetic brake and emergency stop function together to provide a two-layer safety response: one that prevents the load from moving and another that gives the operator direct control to stop the system at any point during the operation.

Single Phase Chain Hoist with 10 ft Remote Cable for Operator Safety

The 10 ft (3 m) wired remote control cable allows the operator to stand back from directly beneath the load during lifting, which is one of the most crucial safety behaviors when working with heavy suspended weights. At 1100 lbs, the risks of being too close to a load that changes or lowers are serious. The 10 ft cable provides substantial separation between the operator and the lift zone.

The handle switch is wired directly to the machine and does not need to be paired, charged, or installed wirelessly. Wired control is particularly dependable in shop conditions where radio interference from other equipment, metal buildings, or nearby machinery could cause the wireless signal to fail at the worst possible moment. This single phase chain hoist may be ceiling-mounted using conventional metal or solid wood strips.
