Overview

Bison Electric Chain Hoists and Trolleys

Bison Lifting Equipment builds electric chain hoists and the trolleys, controls and limit switches that go with them, for overhead lifting on jib cranes, gantries and monorails.

Tell us the load, lift height and the beam or crane it will run on, and we will spec the hoist and trolley together.

How It Works

Hoist, trolley and controls, specified together

Bison chain hoists, trolleys, limit switches and controls are sold to work as one package. Pick the hoist, add the trolley that fits your beam, then choose a control for hoist and trolley, for hoist, trolley and bridge, or a radio remote.
