English EnglishThe RIGID MiniHoist MH Series is a compact, portable electric wire rope hoist designed for safe, efficient, and flexible lifting in construction, maintenance, installation, and industrial vertical access applications. Unlike conventional drum-type hoists that store the wire rope inside the machine, the MH Series uses a wire rope pass-through traction system. The steel wire rope passes completely through the hoist, enabling unlimited lifting height and pulling length according to the selected rope length.
As a professional wire rope traction hoist solution, the RIGID MiniHoist MH Series is ideal for users who need a lightweight, easy-to-carry, and powerful lifting device for working-at-height tasks. Its portable structure, reliable traction drive, and high safety performance make it suitable for elevator installation, suspended platform support, scaffold lifting, façade maintenance, equipment handling, and confined-space vertical lifting.
The main advantage of the RIGID MiniHoist MH Series is its pass-through wire rope design. Traditional drum hoists are limited by the rope capacity stored on the drum. In contrast, the MH Series allows the wire rope to travel continuously through the hoist, making it suitable for long-distance lifting and pulling operations where extended working height is required.
Unlimited Lifting Height: The wire rope passes through the hoist rather than being stored inside, allowing lifting height and pulling length to be determined by the rope length.
Portable Electric Hoist Design: Compact size and easy handling make the MH Series suitable for mobile job sites and fast installation.
Stable Traction Drive: The hoist is driven by friction between the steel wire rope and the drive wheel for smooth lifting and lowering.
Reliable Rope Clamping: Precision pressure rollers press the wire rope securely against the traction sheave for dependable load control.
Tested Safety Performance: Each MH Series hoist is factory-tested at 110% of maximum rated load before delivery.
The RIGID MiniHoist MH Series uses a traction drive system consisting of a traction sheave and precision pressure rollers. During operation, the pressure rollers clamp the steel wire rope securely onto the sheave, creating the friction needed for stable lifting and pulling. The clamping force increases in proportion to the applied load, helping the hoist maintain strong rope grip under different working conditions.
A pre-tensioned spring keeps the wire rope engaged even under no-load conditions. This ensures reliable rope contact from start-up to full-load operation and helps improve safety during lifting, lowering, and pulling. For users looking for a portable electric wire rope hoist with stable traction performance, the MH Series provides a practical alternative to conventional drum-type lifting equipment.
The MH Series MiniHoist is widely used in elevator installation projects, especially where tools, components, and light-to-medium-duty materials need to be lifted inside restricted shafts. Its compact structure and unlimited lifting height make it suitable for high-rise elevator installation, false car support, shaft maintenance, and vertical material transfer.
For façade construction, exterior wall repair, suspended access platforms, and scaffold-mounted lifting points, the RIGID MiniHoist MH Series offers convenient vertical lifting support. Its portable design allows workers to move and install the hoist quickly, improving job-site efficiency and reducing setup time.
The MH Series can be used for lifting tools, small machines, steel components, construction materials, and maintenance equipment. Compared with larger lifting systems, this mini electric wire rope hoist is easier to transport, easier to install, and better suited for flexible lifting tasks on construction sites.
In factories, power plants, workshops, warehouses, and industrial facilities, the MH Series supports equipment maintenance, spare parts lifting, boiler access work, and vertical transport in confined spaces. The pass-through rope system is especially useful when the lifting distance exceeds the capacity of standard drum-type hoists.
Safety is a core requirement for any electric lifting hoist used in construction and industrial environments. The RIGID MiniHoist MH Series conforms to EN 14492-1 and EN 14492-2 standards for power-driven hoists and lifting equipment. Before delivery, each unit is tested at 110% of the maximum rated load to verify performance, reliability, and operating safety.
The traction sheave, pressure roller assembly, and pre-tensioned spring system work together to maintain stable rope engagement. This helps reduce slipping risk, improves lifting control, and supports safe operation during both loaded and no-load conditions. GREENCREST supplies MH Series hoists for projects that require dependable lifting equipment, consistent quality, and practical working-at-height performance.

For projects requiring extended lifting height, the RIGID MiniHoist MH Series offers a clear advantage over conventional drum-type hoists. A drum hoist is limited by the amount of wire rope that can be wound onto the drum. When the required lifting height increases, the drum size and machine weight also increase. This can make transportation, installation, and operation more difficult.
The MH Series solves this problem with a pass-through traction structure. Since the wire rope is not stored inside the machine, the hoist remains compact and portable while still supporting long lifting distances. This makes it a strong choice for high-rise buildings, elevator shafts, tower maintenance, bridge access, and other working-at-height applications requiring flexible rope length.
GREENCREST provides reliable lifting and vertical access equipment for construction, installation, maintenance, and industrial applications. The RIGID MiniHoist MH Series is designed for users who need a compact electric hoist with long lifting height, stable traction performance, and tested safety assurance.
In addition to standard MiniHoist models, GREENCREST can support project-specific lifting requirements, including wire rope selection, mounting solutions, control options, spare parts supply, and technical guidance. Whether your project requires a portable electric wire rope hoist for elevator installation, suspended access work, construction lifting, or industrial maintenance, GREENCREST can help provide a suitable lifting solution.
The main advantage is its wire rope pass-through traction design. The wire rope passes completely through the hoist instead of being stored inside, allowing unlimited lifting height and pulling length based on the selected wire rope.
The MH Series is driven by friction between the steel wire rope and the traction sheave. Precision pressure rollers clamp the rope onto the sheave, creating stable traction for lifting, lowering, and pulling.
Yes. Because the wire rope is not stored on a drum, the MH Series can support long lifting distances and unlimited working height depending on the wire rope length. This makes it suitable for elevator shafts, high-rise construction, suspended platforms, and industrial vertical access.
Each RIGID MiniHoist MH Series unit is factory-tested at 110% of the maximum rated load before delivery to verify safe operation, reliable performance, and lifting stability from the first use.
The RIGID MiniHoist MH Series conforms to EN 14492-1 and EN 14492-2 standards for power-driven hoists and lifting equipment.
If you need a compact, portable, and reliable electric wire rope hoist with unlimited lifting height, the RIGID MiniHoist MH Series is a strong solution for construction, elevator installation, suspended access, and industrial maintenance projects.
