Maintenance only
A buyer replacing one worn hoist over a spare-parts cage can keep a manual line on the RFQ if lifts stay rare. An electric chain fall hoist is listed only when the same hook will later serve production.

Electric option
electric chain fall hoist choices without a ranked winner
Compare an electric chain fall hoist with manual and air only as buyer options. Rated capacity, duty cycle, lifts per hour and available power decide which families to price. This page does not publish energy savings or pick a universal motor.
Which families should the RFQ include?
Move the lifts-per-hour control and name the supply you already have. The note tells factories which power families to quote. It is not a calculator of cost, carbon or discount.
Ask factories to quote only the power families that fit this brief. This is not a ranked winner.
| Choice | Must verify before accepting an alternative |
|---|---|
| electric chain fall hoist | Voltage, phase, frequency, duty cycle and pendant or radio control |
| Manual chain fall | Hand-chain reach, lift height and whether two-person pulling is acceptable |
| Air chain hoist | Shop air working pressure, consumption and exhaust path |
Procurement situations, not customer testimonials
Three-phase already at the beam
When three-phase supply is already at the beam, factories can price an electric chain fall hoist without inventing a transformer. Manual remains an alternate if the buyer wants a no-power spare.
Air drop present
A fabrication bay with a known working pressure can add an air option. Electric and air stay parallel quotes. Do not treat a lower air unit price as proof the electric chain fall hoist was over-specified.
