Hoists

Safety, consistency and uptime are critical for operations with heavy lifting demands. Choosing the right hoist - and having the right partner to support it - can improve workflow efficiency, reduce downtime and prevent potential safety violations. Bohl Crane supplies industrial-grade hoists from leading manufacturers, backed by application guidance, service and long-term support.

Our engineers work with maintenance managers and operations leaders to recommend the right hoist for each application, with options that can be configured to meet specific safety, duty cycle and production requirements.

Electric Chain Hoists for Industrial Efficiency

Electric chain hoists are the standard for facilities with frequent, repetitive lifting. Variable speed controls allow for precise load positioning, improving accuracy and reducing the risk of product damage. 

Common configurations include 1-ton electric chain hoists, widely used in manufacturing and warehouse environments.

Manual Hoists for Versatile Maintenance Tasks

Manual crane hoists offer a lightweight, portable solution for areas without power access. These hoists are durable and can withstand harsh environments, such as construction zones or maintenance and repair shops. A manual crane hoist works well in tight spaces or temporary rigging setups, where operators benefit from the superior headroom it can offer.

Bohl Crane supplies a wide range of manual options from trusted manufacturers like Harrington and R&M. 

Air Chain Hoists for Hazardous Environment Safety

Air chain hoists are critical for operation in hazardous environments, including Class 1, and Division 1 and 2 areas as defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and OSHA. These industries include:

• Petroleum refining
• Natural gas processing 
• Chemical manufacturing 
• Solvent manufacturing
• Paints and coatings 

Pneumatic motors don't overheat, providing constant duty cycles and spark resistance in extreme temperatures. Air chain hoists offer peace of mind across multiple oil, gas and chemical industries where electricity poses an explosion risk.

Mobile Engine Hoists for Shop Flexibility

Some industries require non-fixed solutions instead of fixed lifting equipment. Mobile engine hoists provide flexibility and ease of movement, offering an agile lifting solution. Mobile hoists typically have a foldable design that saves valuable floor space in smaller operational facilities. 

Commonly used in automotive applications, these hoists support equipment repair and repositioning across a range of industries. Bohl Crane's engine hoist or cherry picker products come in a range of sizes and lifting capacities.
