When light lifting is necessary at work, there are several strategies to accomplish your objectives while doing the task. “Light lifting” refers to lifting objects that may be routinely lifted manually or masses up to 1 Ton. So, no matter what industry you are into, various crane alternatives are available to fulfil your requirements. Ergonomic lifting is a primary consideration for any lifting, regardless of whether the lifting is performed manually or using technology. If lifting demands awkward postures, strong exertions, or static postures, manual material handlers are at risk for musculoskeletal diseases. The safety of our employees should always be our number one concern.

Kito’s Light Cranes with EDC series hoists achieve ergonomic and performance objectives. Kito india is among the world’s leading lifting equipment manufacturers, enhancing industries’ productivity and effectiveness. We have been offering our cutting-edge technologies and industry knowledge to the ever-changing and dynamic sectors. Our portfolio consists of a wide variety of adaptable products for various industries. Let’s briefly examine two of our products that can ease the process.

Kito Aluminium Light Crane Systems

Kito Aluminium Light Crane System provides efficient and effective material handling experience. A strong weight-load ratio makes handling big workpieces easy with aluminium systems. The numerous types of suspensions in the crane system distribute weights evenly and prevent the system from tilting.

Kito Aluminium Light Crane systems can move loads effectively and safely for weights up to 1 ton. Its lightweight construction allows for various system combinations. The perfect tolerances of the rails and the smooth functioning of the trolleys allow for higher efficiency than steel systems, which need greater pulling force to operate.

Advantages of Kito Aluminium Light Crane Systems

Our aluminium light crane systems are user-friendly and can be integrated into various applications. The capacities range from 125 KG to 1Ton. Among the most notable advantages of our light crane systems are:

Despite being lightweight, the double-walled design of our profiles provides a high load-bearing capacity and excellent twisting tolerance.
Combining the Aluminium framework with Cylindrical control hoists (EDC) or VFD-controlled hoists (EQ) makes material handling simpler.
Our aluminium light crane equipment is completely anodised, preventing microparticles from falling to the ground or the machinery underneath.

Kito Aluminium Light Crane systems guarantee loads travel without interruption.

Kito EDC Series Electric Chain Hoists

The next equipment for swift lifting experience is the Kito EDC Series Electric Chain Hoist. Rated capacity for EDC hoists is from 60 KG to 240 KG. Regarding adaptability, the Kito Series ED of the Electric Chain Hoist is unparalleled. This hoist is instantly usable wherever an AC connection between 220 and 240 V connection is accessible. The EDC Electric Chain Hoist is available from Kito for unique applications. This device has a handgrip control module in a cylindrical shape and is mostly used in handling technologies. In the control unit of the cylinder, the pace may be controlled individually using a potentiometer.

Its lifting altitude is regulated at 1.8 metres for ergonomic reasons. The operator controls the weight while one hand directs the raising or lowering procedure. This is especially useful for recurring transportation processes. We can enhance the process by adjusting the default speed. A range of equipment for holding loads, such as package grippers or crates, also enables easy load carrying for the operators.

Advantages of Kito EDC Series Electric Chain Hoists

Compact and less complex design
Degree of protection: IP 44
Low headroom
Protection against overload with an included slip clutch
A range of speeds for lifting
Superior mechanical load braking systems

Since EDC hoists are available only up to 240 KG capacity, you can select EQ series electric chain hoists which have inverter function and have capacities from 125KG to 1 Ton.

Kito understands the operations and business requirements and strives to deliver solutions that enable scalability, increased productivity, and cost savings. We also customise the offerings according to the requirements.
