| Ketten Wälder GmbH has increased global stock of its cromox-branded stainless steel chain hoist and trolley. |
Established in 1948, Ketten Wälder set up cromox, a premium stainless-steel brand, approximately 17 years ago.
The cromox Chain Hoist (CCH) and cromox Hoist Trolley (CHT) were simultaneously introduced to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the company’s dealer network in 2019. Ketten Wälder recently increased stock across three global warehouses in Germany, the UK, and the U.S.
“We have the broadest range of tested, certified and rated stainless steel lifting products on the planet,” said Roman Auer, chief technical director at Ketten Wälder. “Having put the [CCH, CHT] combination to market in 2020, it’s time to re-energize our supply chain and make sure that end users across these key market groups and others leverage the benefits of the products.”
He suggested that in demanding end-use applications, such as those where the criteria of ATEX and IECEx are applicable, there really are no better material handling solutions.
The hoist and trolley are typically used within a single material handling application. The hoist is available in four capacity versions: 0.63t, 1t (both single chain fall), 2t (two fall), and 3t (three fall), known as models CCH-63, CCH-100, CCH-200, and CCH-300 respectively. All are manufactured from Grade 60 stainless steel and are AISI 316L / AISI 318LN duplex (ultrasound) tested. They each offer 3m lifting height, as standard, and weigh between 6.1kg and 11kg.
Other features include high corrosion resistance; a patented sealing system, that creates a sealed brake and gear unit suitable for cleanroom use; a swivel upper hook (locked under load); and a load hook that presents easy rotation, even under full load. There are options for different attachment points and end fittings, and a low headroom version. Customized chain lengths are also available on request.
The trolley, meanwhile, moves the hoist (load) to different positions along a beam. The trolley is designed for load capacities from 0.63 t to 3t, specifically for use together with the CCH. Like the hoist, the range is stainless steel Grade 60, AISI 316L tested; and manufactured with the highest quality materials to provide a reliable and safe product. Different attachment points and end stops are available, according to customers’ requirements. The trolley is manufactured according to industry beam dimensions.
“Business is currently healthy,” Auer said. “We want to bolster that positivity by reminding key industry sectors of the already popular stainless-steel hoist and trolley.”
Being a high-tech and very niche company, he anticipates interest in the product to grow in 2025.
“We aim to keep providing our service strength towards our customers and make sure our stainless steel lifting products are the solution of choice at the point of use globally,” Auer said.
