How can you protect your outdoor hoisting equipment?
Hoists that are stored outdoors face a range of difficulties from exposure to the elements. Ice, snow, rain and condensation can cause electrical components to short-circuit. Motors, limit switches, pendants and control enclosures can fill with water and corrode.
To protect your outdoor hoisting equipment and ensure your hoist’s continued operation, consider a Hoist Shelter to cover your outside hoist and provide it with necessary protection from precipitation and sunlight.

Sizing a Hoist Shelter
As a rule for sizing, a Hoist Shelter should cover one to two feet in each direction around the hoist to allow for weather protection and air circulation.
A model #HS2424 is a 2 foot by 2 foot Hoist Shelter and is best suited as a cover for an electric chain hoist, such as a Coffing electric chain hoist or a Harrington electric chain hoist.
Using a Hoist Shelter
Our outdoor hoist shelters provide an economical and effective form of protection for an outside hoist, shielding it from the negative effects of the weather. Benefits of using a hoist shelter to cover and protect your hoisting equipment include:
- Protection from precipitation and sunlight that leads to condensation inside the hoist
- Galvanized steel roof and UV-resistant PVC siding provide a durable, lasting cover
- Cost savings on replacement and maintenance services for the hoist’s lifetime
- Use in addition to weather-proof coating on the hoist for especially corrosive environments
- Add years of life to an outdoor hoist
