Electric Chain Hoist (Discontinued)
Budgit Manguard
The Budgit Manguard was the flagship electric hoist made Budgit Hoists. Designed with versatility in mind, these hoists were built to withstand the rigors of heavy service and repeated lifting cycles. The Manguard is now discontinued, but alternatives are shown below.
Other Options
Manguard Hoist Alternatives
Given the discontinuation of the Budgit Mangaurd electric chain hoist product line, we have a few alternative options that we recommend. The Coffing line of ECs and JLCs as well as the CM Lodestar are quality hoists made in the United States and have lifetime warranties.

Generations of users have relied on the power and dependability of the CM Lodestar for their material handling applications.
Coffing JLC
The JLC electric chain hoist boasts a multiple disc motor brake, overload clutch, and chain end stop for safety.
Coffing EC
Designed for safety, the EC incorporates mechanical load brake, motor brake, and overload clutch as standard.
