When choosing a manufacturer of manual hoists (or a wider range of lifting equipment such as cranes, electric hoists, etc.), it is necessary to comprehensively consider six core dimensions: qualification and strength, product design and quality, safety performance, after-sales service, price and cost-effectiveness, and brand and reputation. The specific details are as follows:

1、 Qualifications and Strength

Qualification certification:

Manufacturers need to have a special equipment manufacturing license (such as a lifting machinery manufacturing license) and an installation license, which are the basic prerequisites for the legal production and installation of lifting equipment.

Priority should be given to manufacturers that have obtained international certifications such as ISO, CE, ANSI/ASME to ensure that their products comply with international safety standards.

Enterprise scale and history:

Large manufacturers typically have more complete production facilities, technical teams, and after-sales service networks, which can provide more stable product quality and comprehensive support.

Assess the manufacturer's establishment time, industry experience, and market share, and prioritize selecting enterprises with a long history and good reputation.

2、 Product Design and Quality

Design level:

The design of the electrical control system is crucial, as it accounts for over 70% of the failure rate. High quality manufacturers will independently design electrical systems based on different parameters, rather than universal design.

The product structure should be reasonable, and high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials (such as 800Mpa high-strength chains) should be selected to ensure long-term use without deformation or breakage.

Production process:

Check whether the manufacturer's production workshop is standardized, whether the processing equipment is advanced, and whether the product accuracy and consistency can be guaranteed.

High quality manufacturers will use processes such as heat treatment and anti-corrosion treatment to enhance product durability.

3、 Security performance

Safety device:

The product must be equipped with overload protection devices (such as automatic shutdown function), limit switches (to prevent over hoisting), emergency stop systems, etc., to ensure safe operation.

The braking system needs to be reliable, and the wear of the brake friction pads should be controlled within a reasonable range to ensure that the braking distance meets the standards.

Safety standards:

Manufacturers must strictly comply with national and industry safety standards (such as Chinese BIS standards and American ASME standards), and products must pass static load tests (such as 1.25 times rated load for 10 minutes) and dynamic load tests.

4、 After sales service

Service Network:

Manufacturers need to have a comprehensive after-sales service network that can quickly respond to customer needs and provide one-stop services such as installation, commissioning, maintenance, and upkeep.

Prioritize manufacturers that provide value-added services such as regular inspections and training.

Accessories supply:

Ensure that manufacturers can provide original accessories, with sufficient supply and reasonable prices, to avoid equipment downtime caused by accessory issues.

5、 Price and cost-effectiveness

Price reasonableness:

Avoid choosing products with excessively low prices, as it may sacrifice quality or safety performance.

Compare prices from different manufacturers and choose the most cost-effective solution based on factors such as product configuration, quality, and service.

Long term costs:

Considering long-term factors such as equipment maintenance costs, energy consumption, and service life, choose products with lower overall costs.

6、 Brand and reputation

Brand reputation:

Priority should be given to well-known brands such as Konecranes (Finland), Liebherr (Switzerland), Tadano (Japan), etc. These brands have guarantees in terms of technology, quality, and service.

Domestic brands such as Jining Sitong Construction Machinery also have a good reputation in specific fields.

User reviews:

Refer to the evaluations of other customers to understand the actual situation of the manufacturer's product quality, service attitude, delivery time, etc.

Information can be collected through industry forums, social media, exhibitions, and other channels.
