Kito Electric Chain Hoists for US and Canadian Overhead Crane Applications

Kito is a Japanese precision lifting equipment manufacturer with over 70 years of engineering expertise in electric chain hoists for overhead crane, monorail, jib crane, and industrial material handling applications worldwide. Crane-Controls.com features Kito electric chain hoists in three series — ER, EQ, and SEQ — covering 575V three-phase, 460V three-phase, and 110V single-phase power supply configurations, with capacities from 1/8 ton to 5 ton in lug mount configurations with 10-foot standard lift heights, for US and Canadian crane builders, integrators, and maintenance teams requiring precision electric chain hoist solutions.

The Kito ER Series is a three-phase 575V electric chain hoist in single-speed and 2-speed configurations from 1/4 ton to 5 ton, for crane installations operating on 575V three-phase 60Hz power supply. The Kito EQ Series is a three-phase 460V VFD-controlled electric chain hoist with integrated 2-speed variable frequency drive control from 1/8 ton to 1 ton, delivering smooth, precise lift speed transitions for US industrial installations on standard 460V three-phase supply. The Kito SEQ Series is a single-phase 110V VFD-controlled electric chain hoist with integrated 2-speed variable frequency drive control from 1/8 ton to 1 ton, for light-duty applications operating on 110V single-phase 60Hz power supply where three-phase power is not available.

Crane-Controls.com's technical team provides pre-sale application support for Kito electric chain hoist selection, helping US and Canadian crane builders, integrators, and maintenance teams match hoist capacity, lift speed, and power supply configuration to their crane and facility requirements. OSHA 1910.179, CMAA, and ASME B30 compliant installations supported.
