Difference between an electric winch and an electric hoist

The electric winch and electric hoist are similar in appearance and both can be used for material lifting. But in fact, there is still a certain difference between them. Let's look at the difference between the two from the perspective of performance parameters.
 
1. Using: electric hoist is generally used to lift heavy objects, electric winch can be used for lifting, can also be used for traction;
 
2. Shape: Generally speaking, the volume of the electric hoist is relatively small, and the volume of electric winch is relatively large. Electric hoists are usually installed on I-beams, and electric winches are often fixed in one place;
 
3. Operation mode: The electric hoist can be moved to the left and right, and the electric winch is fixed in one position;
 
4. Operation speed: different specifications of electric hoist, electric winches operation speed will be different, the wire rope electric hoist has a lifting speed of 8 m/min and the electric winch has a slow speed of 10 m/min.
 
5. Lifting height: wire rope electric hoist lifting height is 6m, 12m, 30m, etc., there are other requirements can increase the lifting height, the lifting height of electrc winch is usually 100m.
