Lifting heavy or oversized loads comes with its difficulties, and traditional single electric chain hoists can quickly reach their limitations. That’s where a custom tandem electric chain hoist system can bring productivity benefits to your operations.

Designed for precision and flexibility, these systems can use up to four electric chain hoists seamlessly controlled from a single hand control unit. The result… smoother, safer lifting for highly challenging operations where balance and co-ordination are crucial.

If you unique operations demand absolute precision and control, we suggest considering a bespoke tandem hoist solution that will offer superior performance and reliability compared to a single, off-the-shelf hoist.

WHAT ARE TANDEM ELECTRIC CHAIN HOIST SYSTEMS?

A tandem hoist system integrates up to four electric chain hoists into one co-ordinated lifting unit. These hoists can be controlled individually, or work simultaneously to lift, lower, travel, and position your loads with precision, utilizing only a single control unit to manage their movements.

This level of synchronization is designed to cater for large, irregular shaped/sized, or fragile objects that require even weight distribution.

WHERE WILL I BENEFIT FROM USING A TANDEM HOIST SYSTEM?

Tandem electric hoist systems most commonly excel in environments where co-ordination and balance are non-negotiable. For example:

• Construction/Infrastructure: Used for lifting large steel beams, bridge components, or pre-fabricated building sections with true accuracy.
• Manufacturing: Used for moving/repositioning oversized machinery, assembly line equipment, or large-scale production components.
• Energy & Utilities: Handling wind turbine blades, transformers, or any heavy elongated components/equipment.
• Aerospace: Delivering precise positioning of aircraft parts such as wings, without risking any damage.
• Marine & Shipbuilding: Suitable for lifting and aligning ship section or heavy engines.

BENEFITS OF TANDEM ELECTRIC HOIST CONFIGURATIONS

Greater Lifting Capacity: By combining multiple hoists, you have the capacity to lift up to four times the weight of a single hoist unit.

Improved Load Stability: Co-ordinated hoists ensure even weight distribution, prevent tipping, shifting, and uneven lifting.

Precision Control: With a single controller for operating multiple hoists, operators can lift and position loads with pinpoint accuracy.

Flexibility: the synchronization of a tandem system enables lifting of wide, awkward shaped loads, without compromising on safety or performance.

Increased Safety: Tandem systems can include enhanced safety features such as overload protection and emergency stop systems.

Streamlined Workflow: Controlling multiple hoists from a single unit reduces operator workload, minimizes errors, and speeds up operations.

WHY CHOOSE A TANDEM HOIST OVER A STANDARD SINGLE HOIST?

While single electric hoists will suit basic lifting tasks, they often fall short for the more complex applications. Engineered specifically to your operational needs, off-the-shelf model simply can’t match:

• Tailored Design: A system built for your specific requirements,, unique load types, dimensions, and capacities.
• Optimized Performance: Fine-tuned synchronization ensure maximum efficiency and reliability.
• Longer Lifecycles: Bespoke solutions are engineered with durability, minimal wear, and operational longevity at their core.
