How the main products work 

Chain hoist (electric & manual) — A chain hoist converts motor torque into vertical motion via a reduction gearbox and load chain. For small, precise lifts choose a rated electric hoist 500 kg; for heavy continuous duty the Chainster family scales up to 5,000 kg. Learn the basics: what is a chain hoist?

Elevator doors (Fermator & premium doors) — Modern doors use multi-point locking and looped control logic for safety. Premium models such as Memco Panachrome provide both aesthetics and robustness. See fermator door ranges.

Wire ropes & slings — Choose ropes by breaking load, core type and fatigue resistance. Brands like pfeifer drako ropes or verope are specified for elevator and crane use. For slings choose certified web slings dublin with traceable WLL (working load limit).

Safety gates & edge protection — lift shaft safety gates and safety gates for lifts guard shaft edges during maintenance and improve compliance. Combine gates with PPE like Safety Harness for full protection.
