Spanco Workmate 1/4 ton electric chain hoists are compact, lightweight hoists built for repetitive lifting at workstations, assembly lines, and maintenance areas, and they are available in single phase or three phase models so you can match the hoist to your power supply. The single phase SP250 runs on 110V or 230V power with a .4 HP single-speed motor that lifts at 16 FPM, so it can go to work in shops without three phase service, while the three phase SP250 runs on 230V or 460V power with a .6/.15 HP dual-speed motor that lifts at 32 FPM high speed and 8 FPM low speed for precise load positioning. Both models use a single chain fall, carry an H4 duty rating for all-day industrial use, and come standard in 10', 15', or 20' lift heights with your choice of eyebolt or hook suspension. A cast aluminum body and end caps with IP65 protection keep the hoist dust tight and water jet resistant, and the 42V low-voltage controls make the 2-button pendant safer to handle. Inside, a 3-stage helical gearbox, polygon shaft and hub connections, and an easy-to-service slip clutch provide smooth, long-lasting performance, while a maintenance-free DC spring-loaded disc brake holds the load securely when the motor stops. The case-hardened manganese phosphate profile steel load chain offers an 8:1 safety factor and excellent corrosion resistance, and every hoist ships complete with load chain, chain container, 2-button pendant control, power cord, suspension, and load hook. Spanco Workmate 1/4 ton electric chain hoists are backed by a two-year warranty.
