This extensive footprint represents a key strategic lever, enabling us to support our customers over the long term across their markets and to respond with agility to the specific requirements of each territory.

After two years of intensive research and development at VERLINDE's engineering centre in Vernouillet, France, the Eurochain VX represents a fundamental rethinking of electric chain hoist design. Built around an all-new die-cast aluminium body, a redesigned gear train and an integrated SMART-VX monitoring system, every element of the new hoist has been engineered to reduce total cost of ownership while maximising uptime.

The Eurochain VX is available in 13 capacities from 63 kg to 2,500 kg and supports both single-phase (230V) and three-phase (400V) power supplies, making it suitable for workshops and production lines across manufacturing, food & beverage, automotive and logistics sectors. Standard hook and lug mounting configurations are available, alongside an extensive option range including radio remote control, variable-speed and dual-speed drives, and CAN-bus connectivity.


“The Eurochain VX is the most significant product launch in our recent history," said the President of VERLINDE. "We've listened carefully to our customers and built a hoist that directly addresses their most pressing requirements — reliability, simplified maintenance, and intelligent connectivity." The new hoist is now in production and available through VERLINDE's global distribution network, backed by the company's standard two-year warranty.”

The Eurochain VX is fully compatible with VERLINDE's complete range of push travel, geared and motorised trolleys, as well as jib and overhead crane systems. Full technical documentation, dimensional drawings and option specifications are available in the updated 2024 press book and on the VERLINDE website.
