The ED Series from Harrington is a line of single-phase electric chain hoists (typically 120 V, 1-phase, 60 Hz) designed for lighter capacity lifting (from about 125 lb up to ~1,050 lb) in commercial and light-industrial applications.  It features a low headroom / compact size so it works where vertical space is restricted, ergonomic controls and good operator comfort, a range of speed and capacity options to suit various tasks and also double-braking system and other features for safe, reliable lifting.

The Harrington ED-DSA Electric Chain Hoist is the “Dual Speed Adjustable / Single-Phase” version of the company’s ED-series of electric chain hoists. It’s designed for light- to medium-duty lifting where single-phase power and flexible speed control are useful.

The “ED” series from Harrington Hoists is a family of single-phase electric chain hoists designed for light-to-moderate lifting tasks (as opposed to heavy-duty, three-phase industrial hoists). The “DA” variant stands for Dual Adjustable / Cylinder Control — meaning this hoist combines adjustable speed control with an ergonomic, in-line handgrip (“cylinder control”) rather than a traditional pendant. The cylinder control design allows one-handed operation. The up/down controls are built into the hook block handgrip — freeing the operator’s other hand to guide or position the load manually. This improves load control and handling, especially for awkward loads.

The ED-V belongs to the Harrington ED Series of single-phase electric chain hoists with a variable (adjustable) single-speed motor rather than fixed or dual-speed. “V” stands for Variable Single Speed: the hoist is set at a standard speed at the factory, but the speed can be adjusted (increased) by making a simple internal adjustment — giving flexibility depending on your lifting needs. ED-V is designed for applications where you want fast lifting when possible, but still need the flexibility of tuning the speed according to load or operation.
