The CD-type and MD-type wire rope electric hoists are lightweight lifting equipment that can be installed on hoist single-girder cranes, bridge cranes, gantry cranes, and jib cranes. With slight modifications, they can also be used as winches. Therefore, they are commonly used lifting equipment in factories, mines, ports, warehouses, cargo yards, stores, etc., and are essential machinery to improve labor efficiency and working conditions.
The CD-type electric hoist has a single speed of lifting, which meets general usage requirements. The MD-type electric hoist, on the other hand, has two lifting speeds—normal and slow. The slow speed is suitable for precision loading and unloading, sand box molding, machine tool repairs, and other fine operations. Thus, the MD-type hoist has a broader range of applications compared to the CD-type electric hoist.
To meet the requirements of heavier lifting operations, our company also manufactures HCI61, HC20, HC321, SHC40, SHC50, and SHC631 electric hoists.
Electric hoists are ideal for assembly lines and material handling in industries such as automotive and machinery manufacturing. They allow for precise lifting of heavy components, improving assembly efficiency while reducing manual handling risks.
They support automated production lines and, when paired with overhead cranes and tracks, enable cross-zone material transfer.
For heavy equipment maintenance and installation, electric hoists allow quick lifting of parts during electromechanical repairs, significantly reducing downtime.
On construction sites, electric hoists are used for lifting materials such as rebar and concrete components, addressing the inefficiency and danger of traditional manual handling.
They are widely applied in high-rise building construction for vertical transportation of materials and equipment to upper floors.
In bridge and large-structure projects, hoists assist in the installation and positioning of steel components, adapting to complex construction environments.
Electric hoists enable quick loading and unloading of heavy goods in warehouses, optimizing space utilization and reducing labor costs.
When integrated with container-handling equipment, they boost operational efficiency in ports and logistics parks.
They are also used for loading and unloading cargo trucks and lorries, especially for bulk materials such as ores and industrial raw materials.
In mining and agricultural work, hoists assist in transporting ores and equipment, reducing worker fatigue.
On farms, they handle heavy items such as agricultural machinery and feed, increasing agricultural productivity.
Small factories use them to handle electronic components or handicrafts, reducing the risk of manual handling damage.
In explosion-proof and high-temperature environments, such as in the chemical and oil & gas industries, intrinsically safe electric hoists certified by ATEX and similar standards ensure reliable operation.
High-temperature-resistant hoist models are suitable for use in metallurgical and foundry workshops.
In precision control scenarios, variable-frequency hoists allow micro-speed lifting, which is essential for the installation of delicate equipment.
Real time monitoring of overload protection device, automatic alarm and shutdown for overload, as well as sensor monitoring status, providing timely feedback in case of abnormalities.
It can be applied in multiple industries such as construction, logistics, and manufacturing to meet the lifting needs of various heavy objects, and has strong universality to assist operations in various fields.

1. Industry Position
Founded in 2006, Dafang Heavy Machinery covers an area of 1,580 acres and employs over 2,600 people. With an annual sales revenue of 3.566 billion RMB, the company focuses on two main business sectors: lifting machinery and steel structures. Major products include single and double girder bridge and gantry cranes, electric hoists, steel structure bridges, prefabricated buildings, and industrial plants. Dafang serves critical sectors such as military industry, aerospace, nuclear power, offshore engineering, metallurgy, and mining. Its products are exported to over 100 countries and regions, including the United States, Russia, and Southeast Asia.
Annually, Dafang manufactures 30,000 single-girder cranes, more than 12,000 double-girder and gantry cranes, and 30,000 electric hoists. Based on production scale, sales volume, and brand recognition, the company ranks among the top three in China’s crane industry.
2. Core Technologies
Dafang’s R&D team consists of over 260 members, including 104 with senior or intermediate engineering qualifications. The company invests 3.8% of its annual sales into technology development. It has obtained 12 international invention patents, 50 national invention patents, 415 utility model patents, and achieved 43 scientific and technological milestones. Dafang was the first in the industry to adopt anti-sway and automatic positioning technologies.
In 2016, Dafang became the first enterprise in Henan Province to implement smart crane applications and to introduce remote monitoring technology. The company also developed the multifunctional brewing crane, filling a domestic market gap. In 2021, Dafang was the first in the industry to be certified for unmanned intelligent cranes. In 2022, it undertook a project for a tower crane at a commercial satellite launch site.
3. Manufacturing Capability
Dafang Heavy Machinery is equipped with advanced in-house designed manufacturing equipment, including 1,500-ton press grooving machines, extrusion machines, and roller machines. The company has established leading domestic workshops, including an electrical assembly line, steel pre-processing line, paint finishing line, and China’s first practical single-girder lean production line. Precision machinery includes imported German NILES CNC gear grinding machines and Japanese MAZAK machining centers.

The rated load should be 20%-30% higher than the actual lifting demand (e.g., for lifting 3 tons of goods, choose a 4-ton model) to avoid overload risks.
For low-clearance workshops, compact designs with hook approach ≤400mm are preferred. Standard lifting heights range from 6 to 30 meters and can be customized as needed.
Triple protection is mandatory: automatic power cut-off for overload, dual mechanical and electronic limit switches, and an emergency braking system.
Wire ropes must be coated with rust-proofing, and the broken wire rate must be regularly inspected (replace immediately if it exceeds 10%).
Explosion-proof models must be certified with ATEX/IECEx standards. The explosion-proof grade should specify both the temperature class (e.g., T4) and gas group (IIB/IIC).
Transmission components must use bronze or nickel-alloy materials to prevent mechanical sparks.
Choosing IE3 energy-efficient motors can reduce power consumption by 30%. Frequency converters are recommended to be replaced every 5 years.
Our company provides full spare parts support, ensuring timely delivery of critical components such as gearboxes and brake discs.
For -30°C environments, low-temperature lubricants and motor preheating modules are required. In high-temperature environments (+60°C), enhanced insulation layers are necessary.
Outdoor models must be equipped with wind anchor devices, with wind resistance level reaching grade 10 or above. Customizations are available according to specific scenarios.
