Sanitary lifting equipment built for a food processing production line

This broad geographic footprint gives us a key strategic edge, letting us support our customers over the long run throughout their markets and respond nimbly to each territory's specific needs.

After two years of focused research and development at VERLINDE's engineering centre in Vernouillet, France, the Eurochain VX marks a complete reimagining of electric chain hoist design. Built on an entirely new die-cast aluminium body, a reworked gear train and an integrated SMART-VX monitoring system, every part of the new hoist was engineered to lower total cost of ownership while boosting uptime.

The Eurochain VX comes in 13 capacities from 63 kg to 2,500 kg and runs on both single-phase (230V) and three-phase (400V) power, making it well suited to workshops and production lines in manufacturing, food & beverage, automotive and logistics. Standard hook and lug mounting options are available, along with a wide range of extras including radio remote control, variable-speed and dual-speed drives, and CAN-bus connectivity.


“The Eurochain VX marks the most important product launch in our recent history," said VERLINDE's President. "We've listened closely to our customers and developed a hoist that meets their top priorities head-on — reliability, easier maintenance and smart connectivity." The new hoist is now in production and available across VERLINDE's global distribution network, backed by the company's standard two-year warranty.”

Full technical documentation, dimensional drawings and option specifications are available in the updated 2024 press book and on the VERLINDE website.
