KITO
Hoists
Kito hoists represent the gold standard in industrial lifting, combining over 90 years of Japanese engineering with a relentless focus on safety, reliability, and performance. Our comprehensive range includes inverter-controlled electric chain hoists for high-frequency precision, durable wire rope hoists for extreme heavy lifting, and rugged manual chain hoists for remote or power-free operation. Built for capacities from 60 kg to 50 tons, a Kito hoist survives where others fail, equipped with standard features like electronic overload protection, nickel-plated load chains for superior corrosion resistance, and a robust, compact design to handle demanding duty cycles and harsh industrial environments. All Kito hoists prioritize reducing total cost of ownership by minimizing downtime and extending service life.

Trusted by Industry Leaders
Global Duty Cycle Ratings
FEM/ISO compliance ensures your hoist handles required lift intensity without premature failure.
Electronic Overload Protection
Safety feature stops operation immediately when load exceeds capacity, protecting operators and equipment.
Nickel-Plated Load Chain
Kito’s exclusive electroless nickel plating resists wear and corrosion even in harsh, salty, or chemical environments.
Inverter Smooth Control
Standard on many models to minimize load swing, provide precise positioning, and reduce operator fatigue.
High-Efficiency Helical Gears
Precisely machined gears deliver higher lifting speeds with lower horsepower requirements for greater energy savings.
Extreme Temperature Operation
Proven reliable from -40°C to +60°C, performing in the hottest foundries and coldest outdoor winter sites.
Why Kito Hoists Outperform Other Lifting Equipment
Unlike many manufacturers who source components globally, Kito is one of the few companies that manufactures its own load chains. This complete vertical integration ensures a perfect symbiosis between the hoist and its lifting medium, providing the best possible safety, efficiency, and durability. This commitment is why Kito hoists are often in service for decades, with many offshore units lasting over ten years. By choosing a Kito hoist, you're not just buying a machine; you are investing in industry-leading longevity that lowers your long-term operational costs.
Global Applications & Industries Served
Kito hoists are the trusted choice for critical lifting in demanding fields such as automotive assembly for precise engine and die handling, general manufacturing for workstation and overhead lifts, energy sectors including wind, oil, and gas for heavy components in hazardous zones, shipbuilding for corrosion-resistant lifting in saltwater environments, and steel/metal fabrication for handling extreme temperatures and heavy coils. Whatever the material or condition, there is a Kito hoist engineered for the job.
