What are the differences between electric and pneumatic lifting equipment?

Electric lifting equipment is powered by electricity and offers precise control, high efficiency, and is suitable for heavy-duty applications. Pneumatic lifting equipment, on the other hand, is powered by compressed air and is known for its simplicity, safety, and lower cost. It is often used in environments where electrical equipment might be hazardous, such as in the presence of flammable gases or dust. Electric systems can handle heavier loads and provide more precise control, while pneumatic systems are more resistant to overload and offer a fail-safe mechanism in case of air pressure loss.
