Crane Hoists and Hoisting Equipment

The biggest European-based production facility for electrical wire rope hoists. With over 2,000,000 of them sold throughout its long history, the company became a leading supplier in many global markets.

Stationary (Foot-mounted) Wire Rope Hoist

This is the only hoist without any motorized travel trolleys. Most commonly used by crane manufacturers with capabilities to design and produce double girder trolleys. This suspension is preferred from crane producers or for special trolley execution. It provides easy assembling and standard fixing.

Normal Headroom Wire Rope Hoist

Preferably used in manufacturing buildings that have enough working space for an overhead crane. Depending on the lifting height needed, the hoist is assembled with one or two motorized travel trolleys and one or two motor-reducers. The trolleys are also available in an articulated version to run on curves. For them two travel motor-reducers are by default..

Low Headroom Wire Rope Hoist

Best used for overhead cranes situated in industrial buildings with reduced height. The hook reaches nearly under the beam and gives 30% reduction in headroom. This suspension type provides high efficiency and could optimize the height of the building with 0.5-1 m compared to normal headroom suspension hoists.

Wire Rope Hoist with Double Girder Trolley

Commissioned for heavier loads (normally 16 t and up) and also for all heavy duty applications. The standard capacities are from 3.2 t to 50 t. For those situations Podem uses a double rail trolley, on which a hoist is mounted to achieve the double girder suspension. The mounting of the hoist onto the trolley has some variants based on the lifting applications needed. The hook travel is optimized, so that it can go between the two main girders.

Explosion Proof Wire Rope Hoists

Explosion-proof Ex wire rope hoists and SHW 8 Ex winches rank among the safest technology available on the market for the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, the food processing industry as well as the power supply, shipbuilding, offshore and natural gas liquefaction (LNG) industries. The Ex wire rope hoist programs and SHW 8 Ex winch program are based on the corresponding wire rope hoist programs and SHW winch program respectively. All components are made by us and add their part to full high-quality explosion protection. The strict ATEX directives and IECEx regulations for mechanical and electrical explosion protection are naturally fulfilled.

Electric Chain Hoists

Explosion-proof ST Ex chain hoists rank among the safest technology available on the market for the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, the food processing industry as well as the power supply, shipbuilding, offshore and natural gas liquefaction (LNG) industries. The ST Ex chain hoist programme is based on the modular ST chain hoist programme. The safe working load range for use in Zone 1 and Zone 21 is from 250 kg to 6,300 kg, and from 125 kg to 6,300 kg for use in Zone 22. All components are made by us and add their part to full high-quality explosion protection. The strict ATEX directives and IECEx regulations for mechanical and electrical explosion protection are naturally fulfilled.
