ALLMAN AMEH Electric Chain Hoist With Galvanized Chain

The Challenge

In factory workshops with high humidity, steam, or ambient water vapor—such as food processing plants, beverage bottling lines, paper mills, and industrial washing stations—standard lifting equipment faces constant corrosion threats. Standard black oxide or uncoated load chains rust rapidly when exposed to moisture.

This rust build-up not only leads to chain jamming, uneven lifting, and premature chain wear, but also risks contaminating products below with flakes of rust and dirt. Over time, rust severely compromises the structural integrity of the load chain, creating critical safety hazards and causing costly, unscheduled production downtime.

Solutions from ALLMAN

To counteract moisture-induced corrosion and protect your operational flow, our electric chain hoists come equipped with high-strength, zinc-plated (galvanized) load chains as optional protection.

The thick galvanized layer acts as a durable sacrificial barrier against water vapor, airborne humidity, and light condensation. This effectively stops rust formation, prevents metal flaking and product contamination, and ensures ultra-smooth chain movement through the sprocket. Engineered for moisture-dense factory conditions, this solution delivers long-lasting rust resistance, extends service life, and guarantees clean, uninterrupted lifting performance.
