What are the differences between electric and electric-hydraulic lifting equipment?

Electric lifting equipment operates on electric motors that directly drive the lifting mechanism, such as in electric hoists or cranes. This type of equipment is known for its simplicity, low maintenance, and precision control. On the other hand, electric-hydraulic lifting equipment uses an electric motor to power a hydraulic pump, which in turn moves hydraulic fluid to operate the lifting mechanism. This type is characterized by high lifting capacity, smooth operation, and the ability to handle heavy loads. Electric-hydraulic systems are often used in applications requiring significant force, such as in heavy machinery and construction equipment.
