Kito EQ Series Electric Chain Hoists — 460V VFD Two-Speed for US Overhead Crane Applications
The Kito EQ Series is a three-phase 460V electric chain hoist with integrated variable frequency drive (VFD) control for US overhead crane, monorail, and jib crane installations operating on standard 460V three-phase 60Hz power supply. Crane-Controls.com features Kito EQ Series electric chain hoists in 2-speed VFD configurations from 1/8 ton to 1 ton with 10-foot lift heights in lug mount configuration.
EQ Series VFD control delivers smooth, precise lift speed transitions at high and low speeds — 1/8 ton (56/9.3 FPM), 1/4 ton (33/5.5 FPM), 1/2 ton (25/4.2 FPM), and 1 ton (23/3.8 FPM) — reducing load swing and enabling precise load positioning for assembly, manufacturing, and maintenance applications where standard contactor-switched hoists produce excessive speed steps. The EQ Series is suited to US installations requiring light-to-medium duty hoist capacity with the smooth operation characteristics of VFD control on a standard 460V three-phase supply.
Crane-Controls.com's technical team provides pre-sale application support for Kito EQ Series hoist selection, helping US crane builders and maintenance teams match hoist capacity and lift speed to their crane and facility requirements. OSHA 1910.179, CMAA, and ASME B30 compliant installations supported.
