      Made in Switzerland, the GIS GP Electric Chain Hoist combines precision engineering with quiet, low-maintenance operation. Its compact aluminum housing, lifetime-lubricated gearbox, and standard IP65 protection make it ideal for dusty or humid environments. Designed for intensive use in manufacturing, logistics, and entertainment rigging, the GP series offers smooth lifting with minimal wear—proving that Swiss quality isn’t just a reputation, it’s a performance standard.

      • 2 year warranty
      • Chain safety factor minimum 8-times (1-fall in FEM, 2m, ISO, M5)
      • Protection class IP65 as standard
      • Quiet running with 3-step drive and helical gearing
      • Polygonal connections

      Customer's
      benefit

      The GP is simple in its structure and does not contain any sensitive electronics, which minimizes the risk of operational interruptions. It is characterised by quiet running and is made for longevity whilst working hard. The ergonomic control switch with 115 V low voltage allows convenient and safe working. Maintenance is easy, quick and needs no special tools.

      Profile steel chain
      The higher cross-sectional area reduces wear and increases the lifetime of the chain. The GP has a chain safety factor of at least 8-times (FEM, 2m, ISO, M5). The case hardened and manganese phosphated profile steel chain provides about 15% more capacity at an identical nominal diameter compared to the round steel chain.

      Polygonal connections
      The inner part of the modularly designed chain hoist embodies real innovation. All shaft-hub connections are built to a polygonal design. This allows significantly faster disassembly and assembly during maintenance and thus reduces service costs.

      Protection class IP65
      A feature of the hoist and the control switch is the protection class IP65. It is dust proof and protected against water jets. As it is compact and robust designed, the GP is best suited for dusty environments as well as for outdoor operation.

      Control switch
      The control switch fits comfortably in your hand and is ergonomically designed. It is robust, impact-resistant, safe to operate and controlled by 115 V low voltage. Push buttons placed in parallel increase the ease of operation. The external strain relief protects the control cable.
