I. Detailed Price Influencing Factors
Types
Wire Rope Electric Hoist: Ideal for heavy loads and long-distance lifting (e.g., construction sites, ports). Mid-to-high price range (e.g., 1-ton capacity: ~¥5,000–¥20,000).
Chain Electric Hoist: Compact and flexible, suitable for precision work (e.g., workshops, labs). Lower cost (e.g., 1-ton capacity: ~¥3,000–¥8,000).
Mini Hoist: Small capacity (0.25–1 ton), designed for household or light industrial use, priced at ~¥1,000–¥3,000.
Lifting Capacity vs. Price
0.5–2 tons: Economical models (~¥3,000–¥15,000).
5+ tons: Customized or industrial-grade products, prices may double or exceed ¥100,000 (varies by configuration).
Brand Premiums & Service
International Brands (e.g., Demag, KITO, Columbus McKinnon): Higher markup (30%–50% more than domestic brands) but offer reliable after-sales support.
Leading Domestic Brands : Cost-effective for general needs.
Small/Unknown Brands: Lower prices (as low as 1/3 of major brands) but higher risks (safety issues, shorter lifespan).
Configuration Upgrades
Frequency Conversion Control: Smoother operation (ideal for precision tasks), +30%–50% cost.
Explosion-Proof/Corrosion-Resistant Design (e.g., chemical plants, offshore platforms): 2–3× the price of standard models.
Wireless Remote Control: Enhanced convenience, +¥1,000–¥3,000.
II. Key Safety & Reliability Checks
Certifications
Mandatory in China: Compliance with GB/T 3811 Crane Design Standards.
International Standards: CE, ASME, or ISO certifications for imported products.
Explosive Environments: Require Ex Certification (e.g., ATEX compliance).
Critical Components
Braking System: Ensure instant stop under load.
Overload Protection: Automatic shutdown to prevent accidents.
Durability Tests: Check motor insulation grade (e.g., Class F or H for high-temperature resistance).
Post-Purchase Support
Warranty: Opt for ≥1 year coverage.
Maintenance: Confirm availability of spare parts (e.g., gears, motors).
