There are two large groups of hoist units, namely chain hoists and wire rope hoists. Both chain hoists and wire rope hoists come in many versions. The choice depends mainly on the application where the hoist units are used. An important selection criterion is the lifting capacity. For lighter jobs, a chain hoist is very suitable. For jobs with loads up to 125 tons, a wire rope hoist can be used. At BKRS, we will always provide you with advice on which solution best suits your job.

Application of hoist units
Different requirements apply to each lifting job, so a different lifting unit is needed. Hoisting units are therefore used in many different applications, such as in indoor workshops, a factory hall or laboratory, but hoisting units can also be found on pontoons or shipyards. BKRS customers use hoisting units in shipbuilding, the automotive industry, steel construction and steel trade, concrete construction, and tunnel construction, among others.
