The IP54 protection rating allows use in environments with dust and occasional water splashes, typical conditions in mechanical workshops and metalworking labs, and differentiates the GEKZ 300 from wire rope hoists in insulation class I which are confined to clean environments. The maintenance-free chain eliminates the need for periodic lubrication, reducing management time compared to wire rope hoists that require ISO 4309 inspections and traditional chain hoists with untreated steel chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKrollit Logistics and Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping 3-5 business days from Krollit warehouse, Monteforte Irpino (AV).

Choose the GSZ 200\/400 for warehouses, barns, or mezzanines when a lifting height of up to 11 m or a capacity of up to 400 kg with a pulley block is needed. The GEKZ 300 has simpler maintenance (lubrication-free chain), while the GSZ 200\/400 requires ISO 4309 rope inspection but offers greater height versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the GEKZ 300 chain really maintenance-free and does not require lubrication?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

For continuous outdoor use, a hoist with a higher protection rating (IP65 or IP66) is required. In dusty environments, periodic cleaning of the motor housing and control pendant is necessary to prevent dust ingress into controls and electrical contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I lift people with the GEKZ 300?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The GEKZ 300 is a hoist for lifting material loads and is not certified for lifting people. European regulations distinguish between equipment for lifting loads and equipment for lifting people, with very different safety, redundancy, and testing requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifting people requires specific equipment (aerial platforms, stairlifts, elevators) certified for that use, with redundant fall protection systems and mandatory periodic maintenance procedures.

Wall brackets made of plasterboard, light shelves, or hydraulic and electrical pipes are not suitable. For workshops, the typical solution is an I-beam mounted in a truss or a dedicated gantry.

It does not descend due to gravity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brake is mechanical (not electric) and activates automatically when the motor's pull ceases. This feature allows lifting to be interrupted to reposition the load, take a break, or manage a sudden voltage drop without losing control of the lifted weight.
