Ace World Companies designs and manufactures electric wire rope hoists engineered for durability, safety, and performance in high-demand environments. As a trusted U.S.-based electric wire rope hoist manufacturer, we deliver both standard and custom solutions for heavy lifting needs across steel production, power generation, manufacturing, aerospace, and other industrial sectors.
Our hoists are built in the USA using high-quality components and fabricated to meet your exact load, duty cycle, and space constraints, ensuring long-term reliability and serviceability.

Ace’s hoists are available in multiple configurations to suit top-running or under-running cranes, and they can be integrated into overhead crane systems, gantry cranes, or freestanding monorails.
We design every hoist around performance, safety, and long-term value. Here’s what sets our systems apart:
All electric wire hoists are manufactured at our facilities in Texas, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. We maintain full control over fabrication, machining, and final assembly to ensure top-tier quality in every build.
No two jobs are alike. Whether you need a hoist for new construction, retrofitting, or upgrading aging equipment, our in-house engineers deliver custom wire rope hoist cranes built to meet your load rating, duty class, and environmental specs.
Heavy-duty motors, precision gearing, enclosed drums, and robust safety features reduce wear and ensure long service life—even in extreme heat, dust, or corrosive atmospheres.
We provide full lifecycle support including maintenance, spare parts, upgrades, and troubleshooting. Our team can also assist with hoist repairs or component replacements to minimize downtime.
Ace’s electric wire rope hoists are engineered to handle high-capacity loads and demanding duty cycles, making them a critical tool in a wide range of heavy industries. Our hoists are routinely specified in both standard and custom configurations across:
Our team works directly with facilities managers, engineers, and integrators to develop hoist solutions that fit specific workflows, space limitations, and operational safety requirements.
Both electric wire rope hoists and chain hoists serve to raise and lower heavy materials, but each is built for different performance needs. Understanding their differences can help you select the right equipment for your operation.
| Feature | Electric Wire Rope Hoist | Chain Hoist |
|---|---|---|
| Load Capacity | Higher—ideal for 5 to 100+ tons | Lower—commonly up to 5 tons |
| Lifting Speed | Faster, with smoother acceleration and deceleration | Slower, designed for lighter-duty lifting |
| Duty Cycle | High frequency use in production environments | Moderate use in lighter applications |
| Lifting Height | Greater—suitable for tall bays and multi-level lifts | Limited by chain length and design |
| Size & Weight | Larger and heavier | Compact and lightweight |
| Ideal Use | Industrial, heavy-duty, continuous operation | Maintenance, light-duty tasks, budget-conscious applications |
Ace’s electric wire rope hoists are the better choice for facilities that demand fast, frequent lifting with high loads—especially in environments where downtime is costly and safety is non-negotiable. They also integrate more seamlessly into overhead crane systems and can be customized for specialized material handling needs.
If your application involves heavier loads, longer duty cycles, or integration with automated systems, wire rope hoists offer a clear performance advantage.
