Precision Low Headroom Hoist for Space-Constrained Facilities

In many modern workshops and warehouses, ceiling height is a limiting factor. A standard hoist can take up significant vertical space, reducing your actual lifting range. The low headroom hoist from GT Winch is specifically engineered to solve this problem.

By reconfiguring the motor and drum layout, our low headroom hoist allows the hook to rise much higher than a conventional hoist, ensuring you can lift large loads even in confined environments.

Why Choose a Low Headroom Hoist?

When every centimeter of vertical space counts, our specialized hoists provide a clear competitive advantage:

  • Maximum Lift Height: The compact design minimizes the distance between the I-beam and the hook.

  • Optimized Workshop Efficiency: Allows you to install overhead lifting systems in older or smaller buildings without expensive renovations.

  • Smooth Operation: Despite the offset design, our low headroom hoist maintains perfect balance and stability during lifting.

  • Heavy-Duty Performance: Built with the same rugged components as our standard range, supporting capacities from 1 to 20 tons.

Specialized Design for Narrow Spaces

Unlike a standard wire rope hoist, the low headroom version features a lateral design where the hoist body sits alongside the beam rather than directly underneath it. This “side-mount” engineering is the key to reclaiming your overhead space.

Low Headroom Hoist Technical Specifications

Compare our standard low headroom models to see how much space you can save:

Model Rated Capacity (Tons) Min. Headroom (mm) Lifting Speed (m/min) Traveling Speed (m/min)
GT-LH02 2 Tons 350 – 450 8.0 20 (VFD Optional)
GT-LH05 5 Tons 480 – 600 8.0 20 (VFD Optional)
GT-LH10 10 Tons 650 – 850 7.0 20 (VFD Optional)
GT-LH20 20 Tons 900 – 1100 3.5 18 (VFD Optional)

Enhanced Safety Features

Safety remains our priority, even in compact designs:

  1. Triple-Level Limit Switches: Prevents over-hoisting and ensures safe travel along the rail.

  2. Frequency Inverter (VFD): Standard on many models to provide “soft start” and “soft stop,” reducing load swing in tight areas.

  3. Heavy-Duty Rope Guide: Specifically reinforced for the offset weight distribution of low-profile lifting.

Why Choose GT Winch for Your Lifting Equipment?

As a leading manufacturer, GT Winch integrates advanced technology into every hoist we build.

  • Safety First: Every unit includes overload protection, limit switches, and emergency stop functions.

  • Precision Control: Our hoists offer smooth start/stop features to prevent load swinging.

  • Global Standards: Our equipment complies with CE and ISO certifications, ensuring high quality for international markets.

FAQ: Low Headroom Hoist

Q1: How much height can I save with a low headroom hoist? Depending on the capacity, a low headroom hoist can typically save between 200mm to 500mm of vertical space compared to a standard CD1 model wire rope hoist.

Q2: Is the maintenance different from a standard hoist? No. The core components (motor, gearbox, and wire rope) are similar. The primary difference is the physical arrangement. Regular lubrication of the offset gears and trolley wheels is recommended.

Q3: Can these hoists be used on both I-beams and H-beams? Yes, our electric trolleys are adjustable to fit various beam widths and profiles. Please provide your beam dimensions when ordering.

Q4: Do you offer customized colors or branding? Yes, we can provide customized paint finishes (standard is GT Yellow) and OEM branding for large-scale industrial projects.
