Practical lifting support, scoped around your site.
Some lifting tasks need a compact, portable hoist rather than a full overhead crane. Chain hoists are ideal for maintenance bays, assembly lines and temporary lifts, but the wrong duty rating or installation can create safety and reliability issues.
Chain hoists for every workshop
Chain hoists are a practical choice for maintenance, assembly and light production lifting. Zentro supplies and installs electric chain hoists and manual chain hoists for sites across Gauteng.
Selecting the right hoist
The right chain hoist depends on load, lift height, duty cycle and how it will be mounted. We help you choose between hook-mounted, trolley-mounted and fixed-mount options, as well as single or dual speed models.
Installation and support
Our team installs the hoist, checks mounting points, tests controls and limits, and commissions the unit. We also offer ongoing maintenance and inspection to support compliance.
