SWF Electric Chain Hoist CHAINster
Need help selecting the right hoist? Our engineers are ready to help with selection, design, and install — whether it’s for a new system or a retrofit.
The SWF CHAINster is a robust and compact electric chain hoist designed for demanding lifting tasks across industrial environments. Built for loads up to 10 tonnes, CHAINster is engineered for smooth, precise, and long-lasting performance.
Whether you’re working in manufacturing, warehousing, or general lifting applications, the CHAINster offers reliability, low maintenance, and ergonomic operation. For more advanced requirements, the CHAINsterGT version features a cross-travel frequency inverter for optimised speed control and precision.
Granada Cranes can integrate the CHAINster into both new crane builds and modernisation projects. As the UK’s leading independent crane company, we choose the right product for the right job — and with CHAINster, you get a proven performer.

At Granada Cranes, we pride ourselves on fast and efficient turnaround times.
Chain hoists from trusted brands like Stahl and Liftket are typically available within 24 hours, thanks to UK-based stock.
For wire rope hoists, including SWF and Omis, standard models are usually delivered in 6 to 8 weeks, with longer lead times for bespoke configurations.
Full crane systems currently follow a standard turnaround of approximately 12 weeks from order to installation.
When it comes to spares, we can often source key components within 24 hours, although older or specialist parts may take longer depending on availability.
