      • ER2 Stepless Speed

      • Infinitely variable speed control for particularly smooth lifting, lowering and positioning of loads

        As an addition to its existing product range, KITO offers the Electric Chain Hoist ER2 Stepless Speed with variable speed control. The speed remains at the discretion of the operator and can be adjusted appropriately for different tasks. Consequently, work processes can be optimised accordingly.

        The hoist features an frequency inverter and a special push button control station with buttons that stroke 6.5 mm. The control switch has no pressure points like those in other switches, but works like an accelerator pedal. When the switch is pressed, the chain hoist accelerates and moves to a specified position. At the same time, this speed is saved by the so-called teach-in process. It can later be reduced or increased for other motion sequences. In doing so, lifting and lowering can be accelerated or decelerated from 16% of maximum speed to 100% of maximum speed, simply by depressing the push button.
        The ER2 Stepless Speed hoist is ideal for eliminating load-bounce in jib or bridge cranes, making load positioning safe, easy and intuitive for the operator. As well, the hoist is perfectly suited for fine positioning in assembly operations, or in cases where the load is delicate and valuable.
        The ER2 Stepless Speed hoist operates with variable lifting speed, and is available for a capacity range of 125 kg to 5 t . The ER2 is well known for its “cushioned start and stop” feature based on the ramp-up and ramp-down speed control programmed into the frequency inverter. It is ideal for delicate loads or precise load positioning.

        • Maximum lifting speed range: speed ratio 6:1
        • Operation advantages
        • Improved work efficiency
      • ER2 with hook suspension

      • Engineered to perform in the industry’s toughest applications and most extreme conditions

        KITO’s high performance ER2 Electric Chain Hoist Series are striving for the first place in the industry when it comes to safety, longevity and maintenance. The ER2 is characterized, in particular, by its high product spectrum, offering the customer an array of choices. Load capacities from 125 kg up to 20 t cover a wide range of applications. Its versatility, from the hook version to the plain trolley up to 5 t and the use of a geared or electric trolley up to 20 t, distinguishes this model as a universal hoist. This is further underlined by the special twin hook version and the variant with an extra-short headroom height. Because of its easy handling, the ER2 is used in almost all sectors, including the paper industry, in shipyards, foundries, and on major construction sites.

        In its development of the ER2, KITO has focused on functionality. This means that, without any superficial gimmicks, the robust and solidly constructed hoist, with pioneering inverter technology or with 24-V contactor control, is able to perform its tasks with ease. The production depth offers a further advantage to customers as it guarantees them a high degree of security. Well over 70 % of all the parts we use come from our own production.
        An important component of this production depth is the load chain, which differs appreciably from that of its competitors. KITO is the only manufacturer in the world to nickel-plate its load chain. The advantage of this process is that no hydrogen embrittlement occurs as a result of the permeability of the nickel surface to hydrogen molecules. Because of its special properties, nickel is particularly well suited as a surface coating for many applications. This makes the range of applications for this electric chain hoist unparalleled: its advantages ensure that this hoist is even ideal for operations where aggressive media have to be handled.

        Product advantages
        • Product warranty: 3 years product warranty and 10 years warranty on the brake system. The guarantee is only valid if the operating conditions, inspection and maintenance intervals as described in the owner’s manual are followed
        • Enhanced safety und positioning accuracy with the pioneering inverter technology or with 24-V control control
        • High FEM classification: M6/3m for capacities up to 500 kg and 2 speeds (dual speed)
        • Extremely strong and wear-resistant nickel-plated KITO load chain
        • Extended life and reduced operating costs
      • SHER2M low headroom

      • When height becomes an issue – the KITO Electric Chain Hoist SHER2M for low ceiling heights

        In situations where every centimetre of headroom is vital, the KITO Electric Chain Hoist SHER2M (Short Headroom ER2 Motorised Trolley Type) is a welcome solution. Apart from use in buildings with low ceilings, it is also ideal where considerable lifting heights are necessary. This is accomplished by means of a special KITO chain guide.

        Thanks to this, the load can be raised almost up to the support beam. With its state-of-the-art inverter technology or with 24-V contactor control, the SHER2M is able to perform the tasks assigned to it with ease.
        The basic unit is KITO’s evergreen product, the Electric Chain Hoist ER2, characterised by its large bandwidth. Its load capacities from 125 kg to 5 t cover a wide range of applications. Because of its easy handling, the ER2 is used in almost every sector.
        On the basis of this diversity of variants, the product can be individually adapted to transport or production sequences as required. This also applies to use on girders, cranes or load carriers.
        A further advantage for the customer is the depth of production, which offers the customer a high degree of safety, since well over 70 % of all the parts used originate from our own production.
        An important component of this production depth is the load chain, which differs appreciably from that of its competitors. KITO belongs to the few manufacturers in the world to nickel-plate its load chain. The advantage of this process is that no hydrogen embrittlement occurs as a result of the permeability of the nickel surface to hydrogen molecules. Because of its special properties, nickel is particularly well suited as a surface coating for many applications.

        Product advantages
        • Ultra low headroom
        • Product warranty: 3 years product warranty and 10 years warranty on the brake system. The guarantee is only valid if the operating conditions, inspection and maintenance intervals as described in the owner’s manual are followed
        • Increased safety and position accuracy with the pioneering frequency inverter technology or with 24-V contactor control
        • Smooth and silent operation
        • Acceleration and stop time of trolley are adjustable
        • Extremely maintenance-friendly
      • TWER2M

      • Safe and synchronous load transport with only one hoist – the KITO Twin Hook Electric Chain Hoist TWER2M

        Wherever loads have to be kept horizontal or simultaneously raised or lowered, the KITO Twin Hook Electric Chain Hoist TWER2M (Twin Hook of the ER2M Series) comes into its own.
        The synchronised movements required can now be realised with only one hoist. This variant differs fundamentally from the solutions provided by most manufacturers, as these require two hoists to handle the load. Furthermore, no motor runs exactly like any other, so an expensive synchronous regulator has to be used. Following a strategy of conceptual functionality KITO developed the TWER2M with the aim that a 100 % synchronisation can be realised. The secret: One motor drives a twin load chain pinion, so that both chains and both load hooks can be moved synchronously. Fine adjustment presents no problem, should there be a slight variation in synchronisation.


        With this technical innovation, KITO possesses a unique selling point, where due to the synchronous variant of the TWER2M, one hoist can be dispensed with. In combination with the electric chain hoist ER2, the twin hook version is even more interesting for the user. A particular feature of the hoist is its high bandwidth, which offers the customer a wide range of options.
        The Twin Hook Electric Chain Hoist, which is primarily designed for rolled steel profiles, is especially useful for the handling of long loads such as pipes and steel rods, for example. In this case, the spacing of the hooks can be adapted, according to customer requirements, to the length of the loads to be transported.
        The load is moved by operation of the control unit. Additional manual guidance of the load by the operator is not necessary, since rocking of the load is eliminated. By means of the integrated inverter a smooth and precise positioning of the load will be enabled. The hoist can also be fitted with a variety of load holding mechanisms for use in individual cases.
        A further advantage is the great production depth, which offers the customer a high degree of security. This applies in particular to the load chain, which is nickel-plated by Kito, which differs appreciably from the load chains of the competitors. The advantage of this manufacturing process is the elimination of hydrogen embrittlement, as the nickel surface is permeable for hydrogen molecules.

        Product advantages

          Increases in lifting / lowering speed by seven times the normal speed – that is the KITO Manual Chain Hoist Series High Speed CB. The High Speed CB is ideally suited for applications where a load is repeatedly placed, and the empty hook is returned. The revolutionary load-sensing mechanism provides the user with significant time and cost savings (reduced manpower by 3.5 times), improved worker productivity, reduced worker fatigue and higher worker safety.

          The most common applications are power plant maintenance, heavy construction sites, large commercial construction, petrochemical and chemical plants, offshore & onshore oil, shipbuilding, heavy steel fabricating, and other temporary or jobsite uses.

          Product advantages
          • Planetary gear system enables 7 times faster lifting and lowering speed
          • Reduced manpower of the user by 3.5 times
          • Maintenance-free sealed bearings
          • Heat-treated gears and load bearing parts are hardened for long, trouble-free life
        • CF aluminium body

        • Extremely resistant – also in agressive environments – the KITO CF

          The KITO CF is a manual chain hoist with an extremely robust closed Aluminium die-cast body that particularly features a long service life and reliability. This also suggests its special areas of application, since the CF is mainly used where there is exposure to aggressive environments. Thus you will find this hoist in operation in industry sectors like heavy construction, maintenance operations, repair and refurbishment, piping installation, and similar applications. For the user this means significant time and cost savings, an increase in productivity and a considerably smaller workload.

          KITO’s CF is CE marked and conforms to all applicable machinery directives. The product offering covers 500 kg – 3 t capacities, in the lift lengths of 3 and 6 meters. Weighting just up to 28 kg the CF stands up for its ease of handling und portability.
          The KITO CF is unique with its single reduction gearing that results in lifting speeds up to 28 % faster than typical manual chain hoists. Moreover it is built with double pawl springs, and heavy duty heat-treated pinion and gears. The gear shafts with ball bearings minimize the friction forces so that the pulling forces from the user on the hand chain reaches the load without some of it being lost. This optimized force transmission guarantees ease of operation.
          The hoist is also extremely maintenance-friendly. Only four screws have to be removed to gain access to the gearing, the load chain pinion and the braking mechanism. So maintenance can be carried out quickly and precisely.
          Like all KITO chain hoists, the CF comes standard with highly corrosion resistant KITO brand grade 100 load chain. The chain is nickel plated and has an ultra-smooth surface that results in reduced link-to-link wear, and increased lifetime.

          • Durable with a lightweight and extremely robust design
          • High protection against dust, water and other external influences
        • CX mini hoist

        • Compact, lightweight and simple design

          With a weight of 2.4 kg, a minimum height of 217 mm and a load capacity of 250 kg, the KITO CX003 manual chain hoist is one of the smallest and lightest chain hoists available. Followed by CX005 with a weight of 4.5 kg, minimm height of 260 mm and 500 kg load capacity. What is more, with its advanced industrial design the CX received the sought-after price of the “Good Design Awards”, which was awarded by the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organisation in October 2008.

          The small CX003 is the size of a beer coaster and is the preferred choice wherever repair work has to be carried out and the fitter has to carry the unit with him. This could be in the area of mechanical engineering, for the replacement of defective parts, or for stage construction.
          The aluminium casing is finely worked and fitted with countersunk bolts. The manual chain hoist is fitted with overload protection as standard equipment. The mechanical braking system, the load chain guide and the nickel-plated load chain for longer service life are other special features. Further advantages are easy handling, durability and reliability.
          The unit has an operating force of only 14.7 daN, making it one of the easiest hoists in the world to operate. Both, CX003 and CX005, naturally feature overload limiters as standard equipment and these come into effect at 130 to 170 % of the maximum load capacity. In other words, when an attempt is made to lift a load which exceeds the load capacity, the hand chain slips through so the load cannot be raised.
          The load chains, with a diameter of 3.2 mm, and the fine chain pitch allow adjustment of the hoist in a unique manner, permitting lifting movements with millimetre precision. The unit can be operated at temperatures from −40 °C to +60 °C. Another special feature of this hand chain hoist is the excellent chain guidance, thanks to an improved chain pass.

          Product advantages
          • Easy and smooth operation with minimal hand-pull force
          • Light-weight with the size of a beer coaster
          • Ideal for work in tight quarters
          • Overload limiter as standard
          • Abrasion and corrosion resistant, extremely durable
        • SHB ultra-low headroom

        • The KITO Manual Chain Hoist Series SHB – High performance even in tight spaces

          With the SHB (Short Headroom Block) KITO EUROPE has created one of the shortest trolleys offered on the market to date. With a hook dimension of only 115 mm, in the one ton load capacity range, this hoist permits its use also in extremely reduced spaces with low head rooms. The trolley with cast trolley wheels distinguishes itself by its swift and reliable operation.

          As customers were repeatedly facing the problem of there being absolutely no more headroom for upward movement, KITO responded to the needs of its customers and the market and
          developed a chain hoist with ultra-low headroom. As with the other KITO products the focus was directed at functionality bearing in mind the technical requirements of the individual customer.
          Closer investigation showed that the problem of restricted lifting height often arose, for example, where machines had to be lifted for maintenance purposes, but the extremely small
          space between the machine and the ceiling did not permit this. Another application is in the paper industry, to shorten the down time needed for essential maintenance work and to get
          production going again quickly. The short trolley is permanently installed, so it is always available for this purpose. Naturally, there are various other application problems which could be solved with the short trolley SHB.
          The basic unit is a hand chain hoist, the well-known model M3 from the CB Series. The SHB works with two load chain falls. Four falls are only needed for the load capacities of 7.5 t and 10 t. The basic unit has an impact-resistant gear housing, double ratchet springs, a precision gearbox and double casing for protection against dust and water, a safe and reliable load pressure braking system, load chain guidance and a nickel-plated load chain
          for long service life. In short, its easy handling, long service life and reliability make the short trolley SHB the obvious choice.

          Product advantages
          • Extremely low-profile hoist: ideal for demanding industrial lifting applications where space is extra tight, small cornering radius
          • Easy and maintenance-free operation
      • LEVER HOISTS

      • The lever hoists forged an entirely new, industry-leading benchmark by being smaller, lighter and stronger than any other lever hoist on the market. Its proven strength and durability stand up in an endless array of gruelling applications, including environments where temperatures drop to a bone-chilling -40 C and soare to a scorching and unbelievable 60° C.
          • LB

          • KITO’s Lever Hoists LB – the work-horse of the manual chain hoists

            Ideal for pulling, lifting or tensioning the KITO Lever Hoist Model LB stands out with its high performance and can handle even the most difficult challenges facing the industry. This is for instance the case in sectors like ship-building where sheet metal plates are pulled into place or where beams and girders have to be connected together and everywhere where precision work in very confined spaces is particularly important.

            What is more, with its advanced industrial design the LB received the sought-after price of the “Excellent Product Awards”, which was awarded by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) in 2009.
            The Lever Hoist LB is available with load capacities from 800 kg to 9 t. For loads of up to 3.2 t, it operates with one chain fall, at the 6.3 t with two chain falls, and the 9 t hoist with three chain falls. The graduation of load capacities ranges from 0.8 t to 1.0 t, 1.6 t, 2.5 t, 3.2 t, 6.3 t and 9 t. This makes KITO one of the few firms to supply hoists with load capacities of 1.0 t and 2.5 t.
            By using double reduction gearing and a patented induction hardening process on load bearing parts, the hoists weight and size is reduced while improved overall strength. As a result, you can use less hand force to operate and enjoy improved portability.
            With a steel body frame, forged carbon steel hooks and corrosion resistant nickel-plated load chain the LB Lever Hoist stands up in the most demanding industrial and contracting applications. Since load gearing parts, at rated capacity, are only stressed to 25% of their limit, you can operate the hoist with confidence over a long period of time.
            A unique feature is the freewheel mechanism with overload protection. In conventional variants, it is possible that due to inadvertent operation of the lever by the operator, the freewheel function is accidentally activated, leading to, in the worst case, to the load being dropped. This is impossible with the KITO Lever Hoist LB, as it is fitted with a freewheel knob. This has to be engaged by gentle pulling to activate the freewheel function and release the chain for adjustment.

            Product advantages
            • Suitable for continuous operation under the most severe conditions
            • Maintenance friendly: The LB’s open body design allows for easy inspection and cleaning without dismantling the unit.
            • Through its light weight and reduced headroom: ideal for the use in confined spaces
          • LB-OF

          • More Safety with the KITO Lever Hoist LB-OF without freewheel chain adjusting mechanism

            With the lever hoist LB-OF (without freewheel chain adjusting mechanism) KITO EUROPE extends its product portfolio by another safety variant where the freewheeling mechanism is generally deactivated.

            A key consideration in the product design for KITO was the safety aspect. This also bears fruit in the outward appearance of the hoist. As a visually recognizable difference to the Lever Hoist Series LB, which has an ocre-coloured freewheel knob, the LB OF is fitted with a blue knob that shows that this hoist is equipped without a freewheeling function. A change in the lifting height can then only be adjusted by operating the lever.
            Especially for complicated and dangerous applications where dynamic forces can occur, for instance in overhead line construction, the KITO Lever Hoist particularly the LB-OF is a suitable and safe installation aid. Furthermore the hoist proves advantageous in aircraft production and maintenance where slippage of the load during the fitting or removal of aircraft parts such as engines or turbines could have incalculable consequences including huge costs or delays.
            Beyond that the LB-OF offers all of the various advantanges of the KITO Lever Hoist Series LB.

            Product advantages
            • Suitable for continuous operation under the most severe conditions
            • Maintenance friendly: The LB’s open body design allows for easy inspection and cleaning without dismantling the unit.
            • Through its light weight and reduced headroom: ideal for the use in confined spaces
          • LB-OLL

          • KITO’s Lever Hoist LB with Overload Limiter – Convenient and safe

            With the lever hoist LB-OLL (Overload Limiter) KITO EUROPE extends its product portfolio by another product variant revolving around safety. The LB-OLL comes into its own wherever, under horizontal or vertical load tension, the forces arising cannot be precisely defined. For instance in shipbuilding, where sheets have to be dragged or in surface mining where the chains need to be replaced in an excavator.

            So this lever hoist, with its integrated slip clutch mechanism which prevents lifting during overloading, represents a proven preventive measure. Even before the hoist starts working, the operator has a feeling of security. In the case of an overload, the overload protection allows the lever to slip. When overloaded the operator is only able to lower the load. The load is held stationary without the need for further securing and preventing the load from dropping.
            A unique feature is the freewheel mechanism with overload protection. In conventional variants, it is possible that due to inadvertent operation of the lever by the operator, the freewheel function is accidentally activated, leading to, in the worst case, to the load being dropped. This is impossible with the KITO Lever Hoist, as it is fitted with a freewheel knob. This has to be engaged by gentle pulling to activate the freewheel function and release the chain for adjustment.
            As a visually recognizable difference to the Lever Hoist Series LB which has an ocre-coloured freewheel knob, the LB OLL has been designed with a black freewheel knob that shows that this hoist is equipped with an overload limiter. Additionally KITO placed a special name plate on the lever of the hoist with the bilingual reference: Overload Limiter or Überlastsicherung.
            Beyond that the LB-OLL offers all of the various advantanges of the KITO Lever Hoist Series LB.

            Product advantages
            • Suitable for continuous operation under the most severe conditions
            • Maintenance friendly: The LB’s open body design allows for easy inspection and cleaning without dismantling the unit.
            • Through its light weight and reduced headroom: ideal for the use in confined spaces
            • Equipped with an overload limiter
          • LX

          • The small one with undoubted benefits

            With the ultralight and compact ratchet hoists of the KITO LX Series, demanding tasks like fastening, fixing and positioning of loads in the light-load range can be solved easily and effectively.
            The LX is designed for loads of 250 kg and 500 kg, respectively. The ratchet hoist is mainly used where delicate parts have to be joined together: for example, in apparatus installation, where control cabinets are to be connected and have to be brought within a few millimeters of each other, or in the automobile workshop, for fitting and removing engines or for fitting engines and gearboxes together. This ultra-compact ratchet hoist can be used almost anywhere.


            In this hoist, the focus is on its compact form, small dimensions and light weight, thanks to its aluminium housing. The LX003 weighs 1.7 kg, the LX005 2.7 kg. That means that the ratchet hoist, together with the belt pouch in which it can be stowed and carried, is always available and immediately ready for use. Another advantage is the fine tolerance load chain, in the LX003, for example, with a load capacity of 250 kg and a diameter of only 3.2 mm. This allows extremely precise lifting. When the lever is operated, a lifting movement of approx. 2 mm takes place for each click. The hand lever has a length of only 150 mm, so that, where there is absolutely no more space available, this device can still demonstrate its functionality.
            A further feature is the chain overrun mechanism with load drop protection. When a load is suddenly applied in freewheel mode, the brake engages instantly and reliably.
            Considering their many advantages, the high performance, the dimensions, the weight, the aluminium housing, the low lever force, the load drop protection and the wide range of uses, the ratchet hoists LX003 and LX005 are unique in the market.

            Product advantages:
            • Extremely compact, lightweight, portable design
            • Ease of use in tight quarters or in elevated work locations
            • Ideal for the fastening, fixing or positioning of light loads

            • SPARES

            • Nobody throws a KITO hoist away. In off shore applications the average life cycle of a KITO hoist is often spread over more than a decade. Where others are buried in the hoist graveyard, often becoming an environmental hazard, KITO hoists are refurbished to battle turn after turn. Spare parts guarantee a long fulfilling and satisfying life working hard for their users.

              KITO Spare Parts – Ensure long service life of your KITO hoist

              KITO’s genuine replacement parts and load chains are critical for the safety, durability and performance of KITO hoists.
              Strict quality controls and testing conditions by our mother company, KITO Corporation, as well as carefully selected materials of all the KITO Spare Parts ensure the longest possible life for your KITO hoists. In order to ensure warranty terms and perfect operation, we recommend you use only KITO high-quality nickel-plated load chains.
                • LOAD CHAIN

                • With the KITO load chain you’re always in safe hands. A quality that delivers what it promises!

                  KITO is one of the few companies that manufactures both its hoists and its load chains. On top of that – KITO is the only manufacturer worldwide that nickel-plates its load chains. This combination provides the hoists with the unique benefit of safety and functionality, and excellent reliability.

                  The precise manufacturing quality of KITO products is realized through following demanding production and inspection procedures that exceed the highest existing International safety standards. Therefore KITO load chains are in demand on all parts of the world.
                  KITO’s nickel-plating process prevents hydrogen embrittlement, as the chain material can be penetrated by hydrogen molecules. Thanks to its special properties, nickel is especially well suited as a surface coating for many applications, such as the windmill and offshore industries.
                  The load chains are electroless nickel-plated and feature an increased corrosion and abrasion resistance in comparison to zinc-plated load chains. The nickel-plated load chains characterize a breaking strength of 800 or 1000 N/mm2 respectively and bring additional advantages to the user such as wear resistance and a long service life. The load chains comply with the quality class DAT or V, respectively.
                  KITO’s load chains fully comply with the standard EN 818-7 and have been certified by the trade association BGHM (Institution for Statutory Accident Insurance and Prevention in the Woodworking and Metalworking Industries). Furthermore KITO received for all of its produced load chains the official certification stamp H23.
