Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Which hoist is suitable for an engineering project?

The correct product depends on the lifting task, capacity, lift height, operating frequency, power supply, installation method and working environment.

What information is required for a project inquiry?

Provide the application, capacity, lift height, speed, voltage, installation conditions, beam or rail information, quantity and available drawings.

Can manual hoists be used in engineering projects?

Manual chain and lever hoists may be considered for installation, maintenance, temporary lifting and positioning tasks, depending on the application.

When should an electric chain hoist be considered?

Electric chain hoists are generally considered for frequent powered lifting, workstations, jib cranes, equipment integration and suitable monorail systems.

When should a wire rope hoist be considered?

Wire rope hoists are commonly considered for overhead cranes, gantry cranes, crane trolleys and project-based industrial lifting systems.

Why should drawings be provided?

Drawings help clarify the installation layout, beam or rail information, headroom, trolley arrangement, hook position and equipment interface.

Can project documents be requested before ordering?

Available documents can be requested according to the selected product series, project stage and confirmed requirements.

Can project-specific branding be added?

Branding, nameplate, labels, packaging and document requirements can be discussed according to the product and order.

Does KDKITO provide complete engineering design?
