Low Headroom
A low headroom trolley coupled with the VM Essentials electric wire rope hoist makes optimum use of the height of lift available.
Eurobloc VM Essentials Electric Wire Rope Hoist (VM1 / VM2 / VM3)
The Eurobloc VM Essentials electric wire rope hoist has been designed for use with crane kits only. Controlled by pendant or radio control, the Eurobloc VM is a more economical alternative to the VT electric wire rope hoist as unlike the VT as it's optimised for use on an overhead/underslung crane. The VM Essentials electric wire rope hoist is able to lifting loads ranging from 2,000kg to 20,000kg.
- Dual-speed travelling
- Hoist brake designed for the lifetime of the hoist in normal use
- Simplified design to reduce number of spare parts
- Controlled by pendant or radio control

ELECTRIC WIRE ROPE HOISTS: 3 OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM
An Electric Wire Rope Hoist is a heavy duty lifting appliance with a higher lifting capacity than other hoisting options. Hoist UK offer three wire rope hoisting options that each have unique advantages and associated benefits and are each suited to different applications dependent on the user’s operation.
Our Electric Wire Rope Hoist options include VT Electric Wire Rope Hoist.
VM Essentials Electric Wire Rope Hoists (for use with crane kits only),
VT Open Barrel Electric Wire Rope Hoist.
WIRE ROPE HOISTS VS. CHAIN HOISTS
Both wire rope hoists wire rope hoists and chain hoists are robust lifting appliances that are widely used across numerous industry sectors in a variety of lifting applications. Wire rope hoists have higher lifting capacities and our range of Eurobloc VT electric wire rope hoists are able to lift up to 250 tonnes, compared with 10 tonnes from our electric chain hoists and 50 tonnes from our manual chain hoists. The greater lifting capacity is one of the factors that makes wire rope hoists a more expensive option compared with a chain hoist, but there are other things to consider when trying to decide whether a wire rope hoist or a chain hoist would be better suited to your operation.
ACHIEVING TRUE VERTICAL LIFT FOR PRECISE LIFTING WITH A WIRE ROPE HOIST
In essence, true vertical lift is a hoists ability to lift the hook straight up and down, to pick up or put down a load in an exact position with no hook drift. It occurs when a hoist (lower block) moves in a true vertical path between the lower limit of travel, which happens when the rope(s) anchored at each end of the drum wind from the centre of the drum outward (inward when raising the hook); enabling the hook and load to be centred below the middle of the drum. This design prevents the hook from wandering from one end of the drum to the other in the highest and lowest hook positions.
