Reliable Lifting For Wide & Heavy Loads Made Simple With Twin Hook Electric Chain Hoists
If you’ve ever tried to lift a long or uneven load using a single hook or even two separate hoists, you already know the frustration during Imbalance.
You spend more time adjusting, balancing, and watching for tilt than actually starting to lift.It slows you down. It adds risk. And makes it tiresome for your team.
That’s why we built the heavy-duty Twin Hook Electric Chain Hoist for industrial lifting. A simple, smart way to lift from two points together with one motor, one control, and no hesitation.

Lifting Safely in Sync
Our Twin Hook Electric Chain Hoist wasn’t designed for perfect conditions or clean, quiet labs. It was designed for busy factories, congested yards, and congested shop floors where time is of the essence, floor space is limited, and every lift needs to be accurate on the first try.
Because when you are lifting something that is wide, heavy, or odd-shaped and the clock is counting down, you don't need complicated systems or a second operator. You just need an Industrial Chain Hoist with Twin Hooks that does its job. Every time. Without drama.
That’s what the twin-hook type Electric Chain Hoists are built for:
- Two hooks, powered by one motor - There’s no need for any syncing. No timing issues. Just one gearbox driving both hooks together, always level.
- Custom hook spacing - You tell us what you're lifting. We’ll set the right distance to keep it steady.
- Compact and tough - Do you have low headroom or tight clearances? Our Twin Hook Chain Hoists are designed to fit tight spaces, handle tough environments, and work consistently.
Features That Make Your Lifting Easier
- Our Chain Hoists are CE certified for safety, so your team can operate with confidence.
- IP55-rated protection shields against dust and moisture — perfect for real-world factory conditions.
- Dual-speed control allows fast movement when speed matters, and slow precision when alignment is critical.
- Automatic overload protection prevents unsafe lifts before they become a problem.
- A hard powder-coated enclosure will not wear out, corrode, or get damaged under tough shop conditions.
- Using standard electrical components means repairs can be done easily, restoring the unit to service while keeping downtime to a minimum.
- The fully mechanical slipping clutch provides overload protection, giving you a backup plan to prevent sudden equipment failures.
- Need height? How about up to 12 metres with heavy loads - more than enough for tall space or deep-pit applications.
- Each Dual-Hook Chain Hoist operates on its own sprocket, giving you a smoother run while reducing wear and increasing chain life.
- With the rotary limit switches, you can position the hook where you want, it will stop at the engagement point with no over-travel and no stress on the equipment.
What Makes Electric Twin Hook Hoists So Special?
As the leading Twin Hook Electric Chain Hoist Manufacturers, our hoists have a unique flair and benefits.
- The synchronised dual-hook heavy lifting Chain Hoist ensures the load remains level throughout the operation.
- A single operator can manage both lifting points via one control, improving efficiency and reducing manpower.
- The even load distribution minimises stress on sensitive components and reduces the risk of damage.
- Integrated overload protection and controlled start-stop motion enhance operational safety.
- Effectively handles long, bulky, or asymmetrical items such as dies or machine bases.
- Faster, consistent lifting cycles help improve productivity and reduce operational delays.
- Compact, low-headroom design maximises lifting height in space-constrained environments.
- Balanced lifting minimises loads on support structures to increase the life of your crane or beam system.
- Simplified mechanical design with fewer components means lower once-in-service maintenance and reduced downtime.

FAQ
What is a Twin-Hook Electric Chain Hoist?
It’s an Electric Chain Hoist with Two Hooks that lift together, using one motor, for wide or long loads that need to stay level.
Why would I need two hooks instead of one?
When a job to load is too long, heavy, or unbalanced for one hook, two hooks keep it stable and safe.
Can one person operate the Electric Chain Hoist?
Yes, both hooks are controlled together by one operator using a single remote or pendant.
Can I choose the hook spacing of my Twin Hook?
Yes, you can choose. The distance between hooks is set based on your load, and we customise it to fit your needs.
Will it work with my existing crane?
Yes, most existing cranes can fit our Twin Hook. We’ll assess the machine and layout and help confirm if it’s a fit for your system.
What are the capacities available in Carlstahl?
Common capacities range from 1 to 5 tons, depending on your application.
Do the hooks lift at different speeds?
Yes, dual-speed options are available for both fast movement and slow, precise control.
How does it keep the load level?
Both hooks are gear-synced, so they always move together, with no tilting.
Is it safe to use Twin Hooks for lifting?
Yes, they are. It includes overload protection, limit switches, and IP55 protection for dust and moisture.
How high can the Electric Chain Hoists lift?
It can go really tall - up to 12 meters by default, with custom options available.
