EVLK Series E‑LIFT™ Electric Chain Hoists are electric-powered hoists for lifting and lowering loads in industrial applications. They combine a permanent-magnet motor with variable-frequency-drive control to provide dual-speed lifting and adjustable low-speed control at the pendant.
EVLK hoists are available in capacities from ½ ton to 5 tons and can be installed as stationary or mobile units.
EVLK Series Features
Depending on the model and configuration, EVLK electric chain hoists provide:
- Dual-speed lifting with infinitely variable low-speed control at the pendant
- Permanent-magnet synchronous motor technology
- Variable-frequency-drive control for smooth lifting and lowering
- Mechanical braking and overload protection
- Upper and lower limit switches
- Cast-aluminum housing with cooling fins
- IP55-rated hoist and IP65-rated pendant
- Electro-galvanized load chain
- 24 V or 110 V pendant-control options
- Hook, plain-trolley, and motorized-trolley suspension options
Safety Notice: EVLK hoists are designed to lift and lower loads only. Do not use an EVLK hoist to lift, support, or transport people. Do not exceed the rated capacity or use the hoist in an explosive atmosphere.
Available Capacity Classes
| Capacity class | Typical EVLK model code | Reeving |
|---|---|---|
| 500 kg / 1,100 lb | EVLK0501 | Single fall |
| 1,000 kg / 2,200 lb | EVLK1001 | Single fall |
| 2,000 kg / 4,400 lb | EVLK1002 or EVLK2001 | Double fall or single fall, depending on the model |
| 2,500 kg / 5,500 lb | EVLK2501 | Single fall |
| 3,000 kg / 6,600 lb | EVLK1502 | Double fall |
| 5,000 kg / 11,000 lb | EVLK2502 | Double fall |
Model availability, lifting speed, lift height, electrical supply, pendant voltage, and suspension configuration vary by market and order configuration. Use the model label and applicable product documentation to confirm the specifications for the hoist being installed or serviced.
Choose a Suspension and Travel Configuration
EVLK hoists may be configured for different installation and load-movement requirements.
| Configuration | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Hook-mounted hoist | Stationary lifting from a fixed support point |
| Plain trolley | Manual travel along a compatible beam or monorail |
| Motorized trolley | Powered travel along a compatible beam or monorail |
A qualified person must confirm that the supporting structure, beam, trolley, and all connected equipment are rated for the combined weight of the hoist, load, and applicable safety factor.
For qualified installation and commissioning instructions, see Installing and Commissioning an EVLK Electric Chain Hoist.
Pendant Control and Load Handling
The standard pendant provides raise and lower control with an Emergency Stop. Hoists installed with a motorized trolley may use a four-button pendant for hoist and trolley travel control.
Use the pendant’s variable low-speed control for careful positioning. Maintain a clear view of the load and travel path, and avoid side loading, diagonal pulling, excessive inching, or running the hoist against its limit switches.
For pre-use checks, pendant operation, and safe lifting practices, see Operating an EVLK Electric Chain Hoist Safely.
Safety Features
EVLK chain hoists include safety features that help protect the operator, load, and equipment:
- Mechanical brake: Helps hold the load when power is removed.
- Overload protection: Helps prevent lifting above the approved capacity.
- Upper and lower limit switches: Stop travel at the ends of the approved chain travel range.
- Emergency Stop: Disconnects the control circuit to stop operation.
- Hook safety latch: Helps retain the load connection when used correctly.
Safety devices do not replace proper inspection, correct rigging, or safe operating practices. Do not bypass, disable, or modify these features.
Inspection, Troubleshooting, and Service
Inspect the load chain, hooks, pendant, cables, fasteners, limit switches, and visible trolley components regularly. For inspection intervals and approved maintenance guidance, see Inspecting and Maintaining an EVLK Electric Chain Hoist.
If the hoist does not move, operates in the wrong direction, has a control issue, or the chain does not feed correctly, see Troubleshooting Common EVLK Electric Chain Hoist Problems.
Installation, electrical work, repair, brake service, chain replacement, and other internal service procedures must be completed by qualified or authorized personnel.
