European chain hoist:FEM low headroom chain hoist with 100 - 400mm headroom design

14 May, 2019

European low headroom chain hoist with capacity up to 50 tons with different low headroom designs of 100-150mm, 200mm, 350-400mm to meet you low clearance factory lifting. Check fem and European low headroom chain hoist now.

fem electric chain hoist

European electric chain hoist is a new type electric chain hoist compared with European wire rope hoists, to meet more needs of lifting requirements. The fem electric chain hoists can be grouped in European low headroom chain hoist, Super low low headroom chain hoist, Double hook european electric chain hoist, and wind power generation indusrial used electric chain hoist, and custom designed fem electric chain hoist, etc. 

Low headroom chain hoist with FEM standards

The main parameters of European electric chain hoists are presented for your reference. If you need cutom designed fem electric chain hoists, please feel free to contact us. Leave us your requirments to the European chain hoists below, we will contact you in 24 hours.

  • The max lifting capacity can be 50 tons, the lifting height is unlimited.

Lifting height of FEM low headroom chain hoist

  • Lifting height < 20m, the pocket of chain is plastic;
  • Lifting height >20m, the pocket is steel. The pocket of chain is cloth.

Working duty of FEM low headroom chain hoist

  • Max working grade is M8, continue working for 48 hours.

Headroom of FEM low headroom chain hoist

  • Low headroom can reach 200mm (the distance from i-beam bottom to the hook center)
  • Low headroom is 350-400mm
  • Super low headroom chain hoist can reach 100-150mm.

Numbers of electric chain hoist hooks of FEM low headroom chain hoist

  • 1 hoist hook is the most common design for the low headroom chain hoist
  • 2 hoist hooks can be used to lift synchronously, with mechanical control, zero error.
  • 3 and more than3 hoist hooks designs are also available with our custom electric chain hoists.

FEM Standards for hoist and cranes

FEM standards for hoist and cranes of one of the European hoist and crane standards, such as, e.g. DIN STANDARDS (Germany), BSI STANDARDS (United Kingdom) BSI, CEN STANDARDS, etc.

The FEM(Federation Europeenne de la Manutention) has published standards specifically for material handling and lifting hoist and crane equipment. Some of the primary ones of the Federation Europeenne de la Manutention (FEM; website www.fem-eur.com) are:

  • FEM 1.002 Illustrated Terminology of Heavy Lifting Equipment
  • FEM 9.811 Rope and Chain Hoists – General Specifications
  • FEM 9.511 Rules for the Design of Series Hoist and Crane Lifting Equipment - Classification of
  • Mechanisms
  • FEM 9.661 Rules for the design of Series Hoist and Crane Lifting Equipment - Dimensions and
  • Design of Rope Reeving Components
  • FEM 9.683 Selection of Hoist and Travel Motors
  • FEM 9.852 Power Driven Series Hoist Mechanisms, Standardized Test
  • Procedure for Verification of the Classification
  • FEM 9.755 Measures for Achieving Safe Working Periods for Motorized Serial
  • Hoist Units (S.W.P.)
  • FEM 9.751 Power Driven Series Hoist Mechanisms, Safety
  • FEM 9.901 Rules for the Design of Series Lifting Equipment and Cranes Equipped with Series Lifting Equipment

Comparison of European electric chain hoist and General electric chain hoist

European electric chain hoist is a new type electric chain hoist. Compared with the general electric chain hoist, it has many advantages in terms of hoist structure and application.In the following table, the main difference is showed for your reference. 

No.

European electric chain hoist

General electric chain hoist

1

Design conception of European electric chain hoist comes from Europe

Design conception of general electric chain is from Taiwan, China

2

Modularization
The motor, reducer and electric equipment of fem electric hoist are separated, which makes the wearing part easily been replaced, eg: conductive frame.

Integrated design
The integrated design makes wearing parts can’t be replaced, unless replace the entire mechanism.

3

High configuration
1) RUD chain/ FEC chain, made of titanium alloy and need no oiling.
2) Gear-grinding machining, large bite force, high precision.

Chain is made of general steel, widely used in condition which has no high requirements of the chain.
Gear is used in light duty lifting requirement.

4

Smooth lifting, low noise

Lifting and sloshing, loud noise

5

Lift with double speed 4/1 m/min, 8/2 m/min, protecting the motor and ensure safety..

Lift with single/ double speed

6

Single or double travelling speed

 

7

The material of motor shell is die-cast aluminum.

 

8

Max working grade is M8, continue working for 48 hours.

 

9

The max lifting capacity of the European chain hoist can be 50 tons, the lifting height is unlimited.

 

10

When the lifting height of European chain hoist is < 20m, the chain pocket is made of plastic;
When the lifting height of European chain hoist is >20m, the chain pocket is steel.

The pocket of the hoist chain is cloth.

11

Safety device
Anti-slip chain: when the static load exceeds 1.25 times of the rated lifting capacity, the chain will slip and can’t be lifted to ensure the safety of the hoist.

No anti-slip chain.

12

Low headroom can reach 200mm (the distance from i-beam bottom to the hook center)

Low headroom is 350-400mm

13

Super low headroom chain hoist can reach 100-150mm.

 

14

2 hooks of the fem chain hoist can complete lifting synchronously, with mechanical control, zero error.

coordinators control the 2 lifting hooks, which  requirements of the two sides of the lifting at the same speed.

15

Professional Wind electricity chain hoist can be designed

 

How to select the FEM electric chain hoist

FEM hoist work shop for European chain hoist, European low headroom chain hoist manufacturing

In order to select the right European electric chain hoist, the following needs your attention.

Base of select European electric chain hoist

  • Select the load spectrum type.
  • Follow the load spectrum to the right, across the table and compare your average operating time per day value (t) to the limits in the table.
  • Stop where your calculated value (t) is between the limits.
  • Move down that same column to get your hoist group, duty factor, and maximum starts per hour.

Information needed for you to select FEM chain hoist

  • Load Q = _____ kg
  • Hoisting speed v = _____ m/min
  • Average hoisting height H = _____ m
  • Number of work cycles N = _____ /h
  • Daily working time T = _____ h
  • Load spectrum: _____
