How will you use this hoist?
Pick the closest match. Each duty class has its own capacity envelope: the heavier the use, the lower the rated weight. Selecting a class lighter than your real-world use voids the manufacturer warranty and risks motor failure. If unsure, pick the highest expected class — the hoist you actually need.

The GIS GPFU is the frequency-inverter execution of the proven GIS GP electric chain hoist. Where a standard hoist switches between two fixed speeds, the GPFU accelerates and decelerates steplessly — ideal where a high number of cycles, accurate positioning or gentle handling of sensitive loads is required.
Key features
- Integrated frequency inverter (2.2 kW on the GP 250/500 FU frames, 3.7 kW on GP 1000 FU) driving a four-pole stator — both speed stages are created electronically (15–87 Hz)
- Soft start and soft stop: gentle on the load, the chain and the steel structure; load sway is minimised
- Lifting speeds up to 9.6 m/min (N FU, 1 fall) — roughly 20 % faster than the standard two-speed hoist at the top end
- Acceleration ramps and both speeds are individually adjustable at the factory or during commissioning
- Built for high switching frequencies and multi-shift operation: every capacity/fall combination is catalogued through duty class A7/M7, with an extreme 200-cycles/60 % ED rating available on request
- Radio interference filter — complies with the EMC directive EN 61000 industrial sector (class A)
- Two-stage push-button control from the standard GIS pendant (or radio remote) — no special operator training needed
- Protection class IP65, insulation class F, load hook DIN 15401
- Manual (GHF) or motorised (GMF) trolley available; 3-phase mains only
- GP 1600 FU and GP 2500 FU (up to 6300 kg, 5.5 kW inverter with brake resistor) available on request
- Complies with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC

NL FU profiles halve the speeds (1.2–6.9 / 0.6–3.5 m/min) for finer positioning. The FU capacity envelope sits one duty class stricter than the standard GP hoist; in exchange every combination is catalogued through A7/M7. Inverter: 2.2 kW (GP 250/500 FU) / 3.7 kW (GP 1000 FU), 15–87 Hz, radio interference filter to EN 61000 class A. GP 1600/2500 FU up to 6300 kg on request.
