The KOEO EQ0.5-01YS is an ultra low headroom 500kg small electric chain hoist engineered for installations where vertical space is critically limited. Requiring just 280 mm of headroom, less than half the clearance of a conventional 500kg hoist, the EQ0.5-01YS maximizes usable lift height in garages, workshops, and production cells with ceiling heights as low as 2.5 meters. The innovative compact body design repositions the hoist mechanism alongside the chain path rather than above it, dramatically reducing the vertical profile without sacrificing lifting performance. With IP55 motor protection, G80 alloy steel chain, and precision electromagnetic DC brake, the EQ0.5-01YS is the definitive space-saving solution for small workshops and retrofit installations.

• Innovative Side-Mount Motor Design: The 0.75 kW motor is positioned alongside rather than above the chain path, reducing vertical height without compromising motor accessibility or cooling. The side-mount configuration also improves weight distribution, reducing structural load on ceiling mounting points.
• Maximized Usable Lift Height: In a typical 2.8-meter ceiling workshop, the SM-LH500 provides up to 1 meter more usable lift height than a conventional hoist of equivalent capacity. This critical extra space enables full engine removal in standard-height residential garages.
• IP55 Enclosed Motor: The 0.75 kW side-mount motor features IP55-rated protection against dust and water jets. Class F insulation with 155°C rating ensures reliable performance in dusty garage and workshop environments with limited ventilation.
• G80 Alloy Steel Compact Chain System: Premium 5.0 mm G80 calibrated alloy steel chain with hardened low-profile chain guides and load sheave optimized for the side-mount configuration. The compact chain path contributes to the industry-leading low headroom specification.
• Precision Electromagnetic DC Brake: The compact DC brake is integrated into the side-mount housing, providing instant, silent load holding with zero creep. The brake maintains position precisely at any height, essential for careful engine and transmission positioning in tight spaces.
• Universal Low-Profile Mounting Bracket: The included low-profile mounting bracket with multiple bolt patterns enables installation on ceiling joists, wall-mounted jib arms, and overhead support beams. The bracket adds minimal additional height to the already ultra-low 280 mm headroom specification.

The EQ0.5-01YS ultra low headroom small electric chain hoist is purpose-designed for residential garages with standard 2.5-2.8 meter ceiling heights, basement workshops, mezzanine storage areas, converted commercial spaces with low ceilings, food truck and mobile workshop service bays, and retrofit installations where existing overhead obstructions limit available clearance.

Each EQ0.5-01YS hoist is packed in a KOEO-branded reinforced plywood case with high-density foam padding, moisture-proof VCI wrapping, and silica gel desiccant packs. The low-profile mounting bracket is separately packed. Export-grade outer carton with steel banding ensures secure transit. Every unit undergoes 100 percent factory load testing at 1.25 times rated capacity (625 kg). CE certified compliant with EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management systems. G80 chain certified to EN 818-7. Standard delivery within 5 to 7 working days for stock, 15 to 20 days for production orders.
