- Electric Chain Hoist: The KD-1 Type is a compact and aesthetically pleasing product designed for low capacities, incorporating a slip clutch for enhanced safety and improved work productivity. The KD-2 Type features a low-noise design with a powerful motor, double brakes, and limit switches, ensuring maximum safety for rationalized material handling operations. The MN Type (Mini Hoist) utilizes a BLDC motor with volume dial speed control, along with a slip clutch and mechanical brake for stability, making it an ultra-compact and lightweight product. The Large Capacity Type (KD-Series) ranges from 7.5 tons to over 30 tons, representing a well-balanced composite structure developed through extensive experience and new technologies. The LOW HEAD Type allows for a greater lifting height of the hook, suitable for indoor environments with low ceilings. The Twin Hook Type enables simultaneous lifting and lowering of two load chains, facilitating stable and safe handling of large and long loads.Electric Chain Hoist: The KD-1 Type is a compact and aesthetically pleasing product designed for low capacities, incorporating a slip clutch for enhanced safety and improved work productivity.

- Electric Wire Rope Hoist: The Standard Type is suitable for large-capacity cranes, offering easy operation and maintenance, and delivering powerful performance despite its lightweight and compact size. The Creep Type allows for high-speed transport and low-speed operation during work, preventing load overrun and enabling precise and safe landing. The LOW HEAD Type is ideal for buildings with low ceilings, providing a hook lifting height 250-400mm higher than comparable monorail types. The MONO RAIL Type is economical and suitable for maintenance, light, and medium-duty operations, with some capability for curved operations depending on the I-BEAM (H-BEAM) track structure. The DOUBLE RAIL Type occupies less overhead space than the monorail type and allows for a wider hook approach distance, optimizing workspace efficiency. The MAIN & AUX Type consists of main and auxiliary hoists, using the main hoist for heavy loads and the faster auxiliary hoist for lighter loads to enhance work efficiency.Electric Wire Rope Hoist: The Standard Type is suitable for large-capacity cranes, offering easy operation and maintenance, and delivering powerful performance despite its lightweight and compact size.
