Electric chain hoist
Lifting oven grates
Bharat Forge CDP is a supplier of forged chassis and engine components as well as non-automotive systems. Since 2020, the company has been working with Kito-ER2 electric chain hoists to lift furnace grates in the production hall.
"The furnace grates then travel to the tempering systems, which are located one floor higher. The cycle time here is every seven minutes," says Joachim Höh, Head of Infrastructure Maintenance. To prevent the load from moving out of the hook, Kito offers the option of a safety load hook. The chain hoists remain corrosion-resistant thanks to their aluminum housing (die-cast) and powder coating, while the internal components (including the electromagnetic brake, gearbox, high-quality frequency converter and carbon friction clutch) are designed for harsh conditions. Last but not least, the electroless nickel-plated load chain, securely positioned in the steel chain container, is designed to ensure continuous flow.
