EQ Electric Chain Hoist — 3 Phase VFD
Variable frequency drive as standard
4 models · 1/8 – 1 ton · 5 mounting options
Harrington
Every EQ is dual speed on a variable frequency drive, so it soft starts and soft stops rather than snatching the load. It also has a no-load high speed function that runs 1.5× faster when the hook is empty, which adds up over a shift.
Where it fits
- Assembly and production cells where cycle time matters
- Delicate or expensive loads that must not swing
- Operations wanting adjustable speeds without rewiring
Features
- VFD dual speed, adjustable between low and high
- No-load high speed runs 1.5× standard with under 25% load
- Hook or suspension bar mount
- 3 year warranty, 5 year brake warranty
Worth knowing
Voltage cannot be changed after the fact — the electrical components are voltage specific.
