1. Einhell Rope hoist TC-EH 250

The TC-EH 250 wire hoist allows for the safe lifting of loads around the house, garden, and workshop at the push of a button. Its extensive features are in line with the latest technology. It is equipped with 12 meters of wire rope with a diameter of 3.2 mm, enabling it to lift loads of up to 250 kg using a pulley with a hook to a height of 5.7 m.

The twist-free wire rope prevents the load from twisting during lifting. A safety latch on the hook prevents the load from accidentally falling, and it is secured in any position by an automatic brake. The forced-trigger automatic limit switch ensures that the wire hoist safely shuts off in the end position. Two double clamps are provided for securing the wire hoist. A matching swivel arm is available separately for the TC-EH 250, allowing for the swinging of loads, such as when lifting to higher levels and floors.
