Electric Chain Hoists For Wind Turbines

Image of an SWF electric chain hoist, demonstrating the black chain bag for longer chains
With attributes of flexibility, power and compactness, the SWF electric chain hoist is ideal for use in wind energy turbines. Compact dimensions and a standard lifting height of up to 140 metres are perfect prerequisites. High lifting speeds and safety clutch as overload protection guarantee safe and efficient operation.

The robust chain bag was specially developed for areas where particularly long chains are used. Custom designs are also possible for special fields of operation. The robust construction and the transmission tested for longevity assure reliable and economically efficient operation.
