NITCHI Chain Blocks and Hoists

Find reliable alternatives to NITCHI hoists and chain blocks for safe, efficient lifting in specialist environments.


A NITCHI chain block

The NITCHI range of chain blocks and hoists was renowned for its exceptional quality and reliability, particularly in specialist maritime applications. These hoists were a trusted solution for users working at sea, offering high performance in demanding environments. However, with the closure of Nitchi Co. in 2023, this well-regarded product line is no longer available. So, what are the alternatives for those who relied on NITCHI for their lifting needs?

Electric Hoisting

For those requiring a similar high standard of performance in hoisting, our electric hoisting collection offers a reliable alternative. We feature electric hoists from GIS, a brand known for their precision engineering and innovation. These hoists are designed to excel in harsh environments and can easily replace the NITCHI models previously favoured for maritime work.

One key advantage of GIS hoists is their high IP rating of 65, which indicates a strong resistance to dust and water ingress. This makes them particularly well-suited for maritime applications, where exposure to moisture and debris is inevitable. Furthermore, the robust and durable construction of GIS hoists ensures that they can withstand the wear and tear of frequent use, offering longevity and minimal maintenance. Their versatile design also allows for easy adaptation across various industries, making them a great all-rounder for those who require both reliability and efficiency in their lifting operations.

Chain Blocks

When it comes to chain blocks, we recommend trusted Tiger chain blocks—considered by many to be the essential tool in the lifting industry. Known for their dependability and strong performance, Tiger chain blocks are designed to handle heavy loads with ease, providing smooth, safe, and efficient lifting.

For users who face particularly challenging environments, such as maritime or corrosive settings, we offer corrosion-resistant Tiger chain blocks. These units are specifically engineered to withstand harsh climates and conditions, ensuring that they perform well even when exposed to the elements. Whether you're lifting materials on a ship or in a coastal industrial setting, these corrosion-resistant blocks offer peace of mind, knowing that they will not deteriorate quickly and will provide safe lifting operations for years to come.

Complementary Solutions

In addition to electric hoists and chain blocks, we offer a range of lifting and handling equipment tailored to various industrial applications. From trolleys and slings to safety features like load cells, we provide everything you need to ensure your operations run smoothly and safely.

By choosing these trusted alternatives, you can maintain the high standards you relied upon with NITCHI, with the added benefit of access to the latest innovations in hoisting and lifting technology. Our expert team is always on hand to provide further guidance on selecting the right equipment for your specific needs, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via the Contact Us page.
