Our Hoisting Equipment

They combine STAHL CraneSystems’ signature performance and reliability with Magnetek’s industry-leading design features and control capabilities. 

The ST 10 – ST 60 chain hoist series can be equipped with Magnetek inverters, providing a unique, intelligent option for lifting tasks. Magnetek is known throughout the industry for user-friendly controls and extensive, integrated safety features. With inverters from Magnetek, the hoist always remains operational and provides the precision and accuracy needed for all lifting tasks.

The chain hoist is also available with Magnetek radio remote controls, the latest electronics with light, ergonomic design, and ease of use. No matter whether you prefer a controller with buttons or a joystick version, our radio remote controls from Magnetek can be individually adapted to practically any application.

STAHL CraneSystems and Magnetek together

offer intelligent technology for all lifting and positioning work. This ensures greater safety for the operator

and less stress on structural, mechanical, and control components.

• Very compact dimensions for maximum use of halls.
• Specially developed for low-ceilinged rooms
• Low deadweight.
• Load is lifted steadily and without swinging
• Low maintenance.
• Trolleys with no projecting edges for steady cross travel.
• Optionally with frequency inverters for lifting and travel and radio remote controls from Magnetek.  
• Permanent electronic monitoring of the suspended loads.
• Optionally available in explosion-protected design complying with ATEX and IECEx, NEC, CEC, INMETRO, and TC RU.

The trolleys are equipped as standard with one travel speed, as an option the motors can be supplied with two travel speeds. Other speeds as well as variable frequency drives are available as an option. Our chain hoists are known worldwide for their flexibility and versatility. Compact dimensions and extremely short approach dimensions help to make optimum use of

the workshop.

Suspension for stationary version

The standard stationary ST chain hoist has

hook suspension. However, you can also

choose eye suspension or rigid suspension.

The eye suspension is used when the

stationary chain hoist is only rarely moved

to a different location, while the low

headroom permits long hook paths even in low-ceilinged rooms. If the ST chain hoist

is to be permanently mounted, for example

in systems manufacture, we recommend

rigid suspension. Here, too, the extremely

short headroom is of advantage. In addition,

the rigid mounting prevents the chain hoist

from swinging on the trolley.

Foot mounting for stationary version

In order to utilize space optimally in low-ceilinged rooms, the ST chain hoist can be bolted from below onto a foot mounting.

Push trolley

In the standard version, the ST05 and ST10 1/1 chain hoists are suspended by eye or hook from the smooth-running push trolleys. A rigid connection with the chain hoist is possible on request. This rigid connection is standard in the ST 20 to ST 60 chain hoists. The push trolley does not affect the low headroom of the hoist.

Articulated trolley

The articulated trolley is available for frequent travel around bends and narrow radii. Depending on the radius of bend, runway flange width, or application, it is equipped with one or two travel motors. The lateral guide rollers cause minimum wear. The articulated trolley is designed for load capacities up to 6,300 kg.

›Standard headroom‹ electric trolley

Not one millimeter was given away in the design in order to enable large hook paths even at standard headroom.

›Short headroom‹ electric trolley

The smooth-running electric trolley can also be combined with the

ST short headroom chain hoist, reducing the headroom by a further 33%.

The STK extra short headroom trolley

If you do not want to lose even a millimetre of

lifting height, the STK extra short headroom trolley from STAHL CraneSystems is just the thing for you.

The construction of the short headroom trolley itself saves a tremendous amount of space. The body of the chain hoist is mounted at an angle, meaning that no return sheave is required. This reduces the headroom by 33 %. The extra short headroom trolley with its headroom reduced by 60 %, by contrast, achieves maximum hook paths, which is particularly beneficial in extremely low-ceilinged rooms. It fully deserves its name.

The extremely short distance from the underside of

the beam to the bed of the hook is just 210mm at a load capacity of 5,000 kg and even just 185 mm at a load capacity of 3,200kg. The chain hoists used here, mounted vertically, are based on the standard ST chain hoist programme from STAHL CraneSystems.The innovative patented chain guide is unique. Two separate chains running in sync act on a single bottom hook block. The load is lifted and positioned without swinging or vibrating.

You have the alternative of making your ST chain hoist even safer, even more cost-effective, even more, convenient by selecting from numerous mechanical, electrical, and electronic options. 

You can increase the efficiency of the chain hoist and adapt it to your individual requirements. Here we show you just the most interesting supplementary equipment and options. If you need further detailed information, please contact us directly.

Loads in this range are normally lifted with wire rope hoists.

Due to the extreme requirements such as restricted space, short approach dimensions, narrow track gauge, and true vertical lift, a solution with

wire rope hoists is not possible. The construction of chain hoists ensures true vertical lift, and they have extremely compact dimensions. This prompted the engineers from STAHL CraneSystems to develop an off-standard solution with the robust ST 60 chain hoists. The chain hoists are organically coupled in pairs, ensuring that the hoists run in synch. They were reeved with twice 130 m robust chains with a deadweight of 700 kg. The multi-reeved chains withstand maximum stresses. The chain hoists are disconnected in the top and bottom hook position by a gear limit switch. To provide increased safety, the loads are continuously registered by load sensors which disconnect the hoist at overload.

The hoist is mounted on a purpose-built double rail crab with specially developed

wheel blocks. With a track gauge of 2,000 mm and a wheelbase of 1,660 mm, its dimensions are extremely compact.

• Combination of four ST 60 chain hoists.
• 12/4-1 reeving.
• Load capacity 30,000 kg
• True vertical lift.
• Extremely short approach dimensions  Track gauge 2,000 mm.
• Use of modular components of the chain hoist types ST 50 and ST 60.
• The capacity of 7,500 kg (3/1 reeving) and 10,000 kg (4/1 reeving) possible, higher reeving, S.W.Ls and capacities on request Different trolley variants possible: Overhead, underslung short headroom, articulated or stationary.

The two-point load pick-up ensures that the load is transported safely without swinging.

A buffer store of five trolleys carrying components is ready at the assembly point. Attaching the loads at the loading station is activated manually by the radio remote control. Lifting and transport to the buffer store are then automatic. As soon as a new product arrives at the assembly line, the fitter calls for the components by radio remote control. The trolley moves into an unloading station and automatically follows the assembly line at the same speed. The longitudinal position above the line can be corrected by accelerating or braking the drive. Correcting the trolley position at right-angles to the assembly line is possible on a movable skid with a path of 500 mm. The dangerous diagonal pull of the loads is thus prevented. To increase process reliability, an infrared signal with a limited range is sent to the trolleys in addition to the radio signal. Furthermore, a trolley can exit the runway to a maintenance spur via a switch point and be serviced there. The other dual chain hoists are not affected and continue to operate without disturbance.

• Eight STD chain hoists with monorail trolleys
• Closed circular runway, 93 m long  Power supply via integrated eight-pole conductor line
• Radio control with redundant infrared signal
• Travel speed synchronized with assembly line
• Chain hoist can be moved at right-angles to the runway on an off-standard skid

Far above the portal crane, there is a further ST chain hoist to upright and stabilize the ship masts.

The crane is used to raise and lower yachts and sailing boats of various sizes from/into the water. The crane and crane controller were modernized to state of the art with the help of extensive technical changes. The ST 60 chain hoists are suspended freely from hinges so that ships of various widths can be lifted. With suspended load, the hoists are able to tilt into an optimum position. Two of the chain hoists are mounted at a fixed point, and the other two on movable trolleys so that the distances between the hooks can be varied according to boat length. Load sensors, SMC condition monitoring units, and an SCC total load controller measure the load at every chain hoist and protect the crane against overload. An easy-to-read load display shows the total load attached. The crane is controlled via a radio transmitter. It is also possible to operate the crane with the control elements on the crane’s control box. The four chain hoists can be operated together, individually, and in pairs.

• Portal crane with four ST 60 chain hoists with a load capacity of 6,300 kg each, two of which are movable.
• Hook spacing can be adjusted to ships of various lengths.
• Flexible suspension from hinges for ships of different widths.
• Load display.
