They will pay for it, but they don't know what the best thing to buy is. - which is one reason I was hired here.. Not many managers or CEO's will be able to, or have the desire to, figure this out. Can you just purchase another hoist - sure.. but the Reliables are expensive, better, (for reasons already listed) and there is no reason to buy another hoist for like $800 or more when you can just swap in a longer chain into a hoist I already have in minutes. So for a grand total of like $150 (give or take) I effectively will have gotten them another hoist that would have cost alot of money and won't get a lot of use. Normally you could get it custom made, but they can't right now cause Reliable is trying to fulfill a much larger order, and really I'd rather them spend that money on other things.You can also buy the chain direct from Reliable, but aside from the fact all they're doing is re-selling someone else's chain for twice the price, they CURRENTLY have an order to build 600 of these hoists, and are "unable" to sell chain right now. So I have 3 choices. Do nothing, order a different style/brand hoist that I DONT wanna use cause it'll take 10 minutes to ratchet up 12' to 15' of chain, or choice 3 - figure it out myself and make my life easier at work.Not to mention I like the challenge of finding the impossible to find items. It's a question to something very specific and unpopular - cheaper alternative that you will NOT find an answer to ANYWHERE on the entire internet - so now it's posted.Pewag doesn't even know their chain will replace the Reliable, or it would be advertised as another replacement option and not just for the specific model of Harrington (another $700 hoist). The "Reliable" version of this hoist has only been around for a few years, and they are expensive cause it's designed for specific utility work, so there's not much info on it floating around. Ratcliff, which is what this Reliable hoist is copied from, went out of business something like 6 or more years ago - so there's nobody to call from Ratcliff.. The hoist manufactures do not advertise what model, or who they buy their load chain from - cause they wanna force you to buy it from them at markup. . they don't even list the size, or dimension of the links so you can search for another option. I had to buy a micrometer and measure them myself. they are very specific size and pitch chains. Search all you want for 9/32 grade 100 load chain, you will not find one of the correct size and pitch to fit this hoist. Every other brand chain varies in dimensions too much to be used. the only reason I was even able to find out the Harrington chain would work in the Reliable hoist is cause I had access to both, and even after measuring I still needed to physically install the Harrington chain into the Reliable hoist to be absolutely sure it would fit and work properly. At least the one I ordered from Amazon I can return, but a custom cut length I'm stuck with.I didn't really post all this for the guys on forum, just so it exists somewhere on the net..
Electric hoists are some of the most popular pieces of lifting equipment within the industry. The already heavy reliance on electricity around the world has meant that this gear slots in nicely into many setups, and brings with it a range of benefits. Here, we’ve looked at the top five electric hoist advantages.
One of the largest benefits offered by this piece of lifting equipment is that they are extremely quick. If you’re only performing one or two lifting operations a day, then perhaps this benefit isn’t a priority for you, but more often than not we find that this equipment is being heavily utilised.
With that in mind, speed is a priority, and electric hoists are some of the fastest hoists around!
Alongside speed, safety will always be a priority for any industry, regardless of the sector you are in or the size of your business. Obviously, this is a requirement, as listed in the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
To comply with this act, businesses must carefully think about many different factors, including the quality of equipment, and any risk involved with it. Electric hoists are designed with high quality in mind. This is even more the case with our range, which are from some of the largest manufacturers in the UK. We’ve touched on this in more detail below.
Another highly important factor for businesses is cost-effectiveness. While all businesses want the best workers and the highest quality equipment, they must consider whether their investment in a person or product will deliver a return that leaves them in the green.
This equipment is good value for money
If we examine the two benefits that we looked at above, then electric hoists more than help to deliver cost-effectiveness. Firstly, operations can be completed much, much quicker. Therefore, operational running times, and the costs associated with this, become smaller.

And secondly, looking at the safety benefit, costs can be greatly saved when it comes to employees. Heavy lifting can put great strain on workers, but electric hoists remove the need for them to manually operate or complete any tasks. This will help prevent sick pay or a loss in manpower!
Lifting operations can vary hugely in nature, with different sizes and shapes of loads and of all different weights. For that reason, equipment has been manufactured to match this huge range of weights.
For example, we stock a number of different electric hoists from Yale, one of the most reputable hoist manufacturers. The lifting capabilities of this equipment varies hugely, being able to handle anything from 125Kg right up to 10,000Kg.
With that in mind, a huge benefit of electric hoists is that you truly can get a piece of equipment that perfectly suits your operation.
Tying in with the point above, this choice isn’t only limited to lifting capabilities. Manufacturers know how popular electric hoists are, and so there is a wealth of choice to pick between, from some of the biggest names in the industry.
You have plenty of choice when it comes to this equipment!
There are different features, sizes, shapes and functions, all to suit a range of applications. To find out more about what may suit your needs, contact us below.
