1 ton chain hoist electric

What each factory quote must separate

Electric chain hoist lines fail comparison when one factory prices a bare hoist and another silently includes a trolley, festoon or commissioning. The rows below are the documents and exclusions this desk asks each plant to price on its own line.

1. Confirm electrical inputs before the plant prices a motor

   Write the available voltage, phase and frequency at the beam, or state that a transformer is out of scope. A 1 ton chain hoist electric motor quoted for 230 V single-phase is not interchangeable with a 460 V three-phase reply unless the factory restates both the motor and the control voltage. Duty cycle and starts per hour belong on the same line as the motor, because a higher duty motor changes the quoted mass and the hook-to-hook.

2. Keep trolley, beam and festoon as named extras

   Ask whether the quote is hook-suspended, push trolley or motorized trolley. Beam flange width and travel length change the trolley. Festoon or conductor bar is site work unless the RFQ asks the factory to supply it. Do not treat a lower unit price as a better offer when the cheaper line omitted the trolley that the other plant included.

3. Request documents after a match, not as this desk’s certificates

   Typical attachments to request from the factory include a rated capacity statement, wiring diagram, recommended chain size and any inspection record the plant normally ships with that serial. This website does not hold those files in advance and does not convert a competitor brochure into a credential.

4. Leave installation, freight and commissioning unbundled

   Anchors, runway steel, electrical disconnects and load testing stay outside a machine-only 1 ton chain hoist electric quote unless the buyer names them. Compare total procurement scope, not a headline hoist price. Read the note on separating factory scope from site work before you accept a mixed lump sum.

What this desk compares: written capacity units, lift height, electrical inputs and the extras each plant included. What stays unconfirmed until a factory answers: lead time, chain length in stock, and whether a substitute model meets the same hook-to-hook. Open the inquiry catalog when you already know the 20 ft lift geometry.
