Description
Product Overview
The VKL Electric Chain Hoist (Polipasto eléctrico de cadena de eslabones tipo VKL) is engineered to handle highly taxing lifting operations with micro-precision speed and heavy-duty wear resistance. Built with a heavy aluminum heat-dissipating housing and hardened internal gearing, this model stands out for its unique modular engineering—offering single, double, and triple chain fall line configurations to optimize lifting dynamics based on weight intensity.
Whether deployed in mining support setups (faenas mineras), heavy equipment assembly lines, industrial steel yards, or transport hubs across Latin America, the VKL model guarantees stable operational longevity and minimized maintenance intervals.
Key Features & Product Highlights
Highly Adaptable Chain Fall Configurations: Engineered across a strategic spectrum from single fall line (for quick 7 m/min cycles) up to a triple fall line mechanism (for 3 Ton high-stability operations), delivering perfect force distribution.
Standardized 7.1mm Heavy G80 Chain: Models from 0.5 Ton to 3 Ton (VKL-3.0A) feature a standardized 7.1 mm diameter alloy steel chain. This unified specification radically simplifies fleet parts replenishment and maintenance for industrial buyers.
125% Safe Overload Performance (Test Load): Completely field-tested to sustain up to 125% of its rated weight threshold (achieving a massive 62.5 kN test threshold for the 5-Ton variant), guaranteeing compliance with rigorous workplace occupational safety guidelines.
Extended Custom Hoisting Extensions: Includes exact engineering metrics for “Enter weight per meter of extra lift” (ranging from 1.1 kg to 5.3 kg). Structural workspace operators can seamlessly order longer load chains (from 3m up to 30m+) while predicting precise total rigging stress.

Engineering Spotlight: Choosing Your Fall Line Layout
The versatility of the VKL design allows procurement officers to balance speed against heavy weight limits:
Single Fall (1 Ramal – VKL-0.5A / 1.0A): Delivers a high-velocity lifting speed of 7.0 m/min. Excellent for fast-paced logistics hubs, light workshops, and repetitive staging cycles.
Double Fall (2 Ramales – VKL-2.0A / 3.0B): Balances steady traction with high power. Ideal for precision motor drops, factory tooling alignments, and warehouse block assemblies.
Triple Fall (3 Ramales – VKL-3.0A / 5.0A): Maximizes structural gear ratios to vertically handle heavy loads up to 5 Tons smoothly. It minimizes any potential rotational swaying, critical for high-risk mining shifts and dense metal construction rigging.
Ideal Applications (Campos de Aplicación)
Heavy Maintenance & Engineering Workshops: Precision positioning of die sets, machinery structures, and processing units.
Mining Operations & Steel Plants (Industria Minera y Siderúrgica): High-endurance vertical transport under dusty, demanding structural conditions.
Infrastructure Layouts: Perfectly suited for integration into overhead cranes, electric trolleys, jib setups, or portal gantries (grúas pórtico).
