Yale Electric Chain Hoists
For Your Toughest Jobs

One of the oldest hoist manufacturers in the world. Yale’s leadership in the hoisting industry was recognized from the earliest times. In fact, the Yale name has stood for quality for over 100 years!

It all began in 1875, when Linus Yale invented the Differential Hoist launching the monorail hoist industry. Since then, the Yale company has contributed numerous advancements, as well as a continued introduction of safety-oriented accessories like the Weston Screw Load Brake, first introduced way back in 1879.

Quality engineered and performance tested, Yale products, like the company itself, are built to last.

Yale hoists come with two choices of load chain; roller and link. Roller chain provides smoother, quieter operation for light to medium duty applications. Roller chain models are available only in hook suspension. Link chain hoists are ideal for heavier service applications requiring repeated lifting cycles. All link chain models are available in either hook or lug suspension.

All Yale electric hoists are equipped with a heavy duty, positive acting, short-stroke DC rectified disc motor brake. The brake is rated at 150% torque to stop and hold the load. In addition, all hoists are provided with a Weston-type mechanical load brake for load lowering control and as a backup to the hoist motor brake. An overload device is also standard on all Yale Electric Chain Hoists. The overload device protects the hoist, operator and supporting structure by preventing dangerous overloads.

A wide variety of trolleys are provided for both hook and lug-suspended Yale hoists. Trolleys are available in push, hand-geared and motor-driven versions. Hook-on trolleys are available in either push or hand-geared versions. Rigid Mount trolleys are available in push, hand-geared and motor-driven versions.

Yale hoists are available in a variety of controls to meet the specific need of your application. The standard control is single speed with options available for two speed and variable frequency. All Yale electric hoists and/or motor-driven
trolleys are CSA approved.

Whether you are looking for a Yale KEL2, YJL, or the compact Yale shop hoist, Ergonomic Partners can help you choose the correct hoist for your application. In addition to electric chain hoists, Yale offers a full range of air chain hoists for your most rigorous applications.

The flagship of Yale’s lineup, the Yale KEL2 Hoist is loaded with features:

  1. High-torque, heavy duty hoist motor. Motors are 30-minute rated with class “B” insulation provided with a thermal actuated switch (TAS) embedded in the motor winding for protection.
  2. Motor brake is a 150% torque, DC rectified short stroke, spring set disc brake for positive braking action and long life with minimal maintenance.
  3. Load sprocket is provided with a full floating chain guide that assures proper engagement of chain on sprocket.
  4. All gearing is totally enclosed, oil-bath lubricated for long life.
  5. Hoists are available in either roller or link chain.
  6. The lower block is provided with a 360° rotating hook riding on thrust bearings. As standard, the hook is provided with a spring loaded latch.
  7. The hoist frame and housing are constructed from lightweight, rugged aluminum alloy. Housing is precision machined for accurate gear and bearing alignment.
  8. All hoists are provided with mechanical load brake and Manguard™ overload protection. The load brake provides load lowering control and a backup for the DC disc motor brake.
  9. Manguard™ prevents lifting loads beyond the hoist’s load range which may damage the hoist.
     
  10. Hoist control is located under a removable cover for easy access.
  11. Reduced control circuit voltage of 115 volt is standard.
  12. All hoists are provided with an upper and lower control circuit limit switch.
  13. Hoists are available in either hook or lug suspension.
  14. Hook suspension permits portability of the hoist while lug suspension reduces headroom and can be used with any of our rigid-mount trolleys.
  15. Standard push-button control station is contoured for operator comfort allowing easy one-handed sure grip control and provided with a weatherproof.
  16. NEMA-4X enclosure. The push-button cable is provided with built-in strain relief to help prevent cable damage.

Remember to always use an approved filter lubricator with your air hoist. It should be located as close as possible to the hoist.
