When working at height, a large lifting height, safety, and reliability are essential. KITO hoists deliver the best of all three!

KITO is the only manufacturer in the world offering electro-galvanized nickel-plated load chains. The benefits include higher corrosion resistance and reduced wear compared to traditional chains.

A dedicated solution for wind turbine applications is the ER2 WindHoist chain hoist model, available on our website.

In its standard version, it offers a working load limit of up to 800 kg. For larger capacities, KITO can provide a suitable solution. The lifting height can reach up to 150 m. An electromagnetic or disc brake available for the hoists further enhances safety.

Optional additional equipmenl

  • Radio remote control
  • Foam protective cover for the lower hook
  • Trolleys available: standard, chain-driven, or electric motor-driven
  • Special voltage options available on request

Hoist construction components

  1. Top hook / upper suspension point
    Enables quick and easy installation and removal of the hoist.

  2. Pressure die-cast aluminium housing
    Extremely stable, robust design.

  3. Hook cover
    Optional component to protect the lower hook, in a highly visible color.

  4. Lower load hook
    Swivel bottom hook rotating 360° to prevent chain kinks and twists that can lead to hazardous situations.

  5. Control pendant
    Ergonomic design for easier operation.

  6. Nickel-plated chain
    Class T chain, V series (G100) compliant with EN 818-7, tensile strength 1000 N/mm² (special solution).

  7. Chain stopper
