A well-prepared RFQ (Request for Quotation) gets buyers a usable electric hoist quote on the first try. The exact fields depend on how the hoist will be used. This guide organizes the RFQ fields around five common buying scenarios so buyers can match their application to the right specification set.
The five scenarios below are not ranked from best to worst. Each scenario highlights which RFQ fields matter most and which TOYO-INTL product series publish relevant specification data. Buyers should still confirm the final model and configuration with TOYO-INTL before ordering. Incomplete RFQs usually lead to wrong voltage, wrong lifting height, or a quoted model that does not fit the beam.
Five Buying Scenarios at a Glance
| Scenario | Primary RFQ focus | TOYO-INTL series to review |
| 1. Small workshop / occasional lift | Light capacity, single-phase power, simple control | MNTE, PA, TE portable winch |
| 2. General warehouse / pallet handling | Medium capacity, beam travel, standard three-phase supply | KDB, HHBT |
| 3. Repetitive production line | Duty cycle, starts/hour, dual speed, positioning | TD, TCS mini hoist |
| 4. Long-lift / double-girder project | Lifting height, high capacity, FEM/ISO work group | DWH, SWH, TC, HHBD |
| 5. Dealer stocking for a defined market | Standard SKUs, packaging, MOQ, destination documents | KDB, TD, HHBT (standard models) |
1. Small Workshop / Occasional Lift
A small workshop or maintenance bay typically lifts light loads a few times per day. The buyer usually has a single-phase wall outlet and limited overhead structure.
Key RFQ fields for this scenario:
- Maximum load weight (kg or t) plus estimated sling or fixture weight.
- Required lifting height from hook top to hook bottom.
- Available power supply: voltage, phase, and frequency (e.g., 220 V single-phase 50 Hz).
- Suspension type: hook-mounted fixed or manual trolley.
- Indoor environment: temperature range, dust level, and humidity.

2. General Warehouse / Pallet Handling
A warehouse or distribution center moves pallets, crates, and packaged goods across a defined travel path. The hoist usually runs on a single-girder beam with a trolley.
Key RFQ fields for this scenario:

3. Repetitive Production Line
A production or assembly line runs the hoist many times per hour across multi-shift operation. Duty cycle, starting frequency, and positioning speed matter more than maximum capacity.
Key RFQ fields for this scenario:
- Typical load and maximum load per lift.
- Estimated lifts per hour and operating minutes per hour (duty cycle / ED%).
- Required lifting speed and whether a low creep speed is needed for positioning.
- Available voltage, phase, and frequency at the workstation.

- Voltage and control voltage options for the destination market.
- Whether wireless remote control is available for the selected TD row.
4. Long-Lift / Double-Girder Project
A heavy industrial or infrastructure project needs high capacity, long vertical lift, and a defined FEM/ISO work group. The hoist is typically mounted on a double-girder crane.
Key RFQ fields for this scenario:
- Maximum load weight and any oversized or off-center loads.
- Required lifting height (m) from hook highest to lowest position.
- Required FEM/ISO work group (e.g., 1Am/M4 through 4m/M7).

Next Step: Send Your RFQ
Fill in the checklist above and send it to TOYO-INTL. Include a sketch or photo of the installation area if possible. TOYO-INTL will review the application and confirm which model and configuration match the requirements. The more complete the RFQ, the fewer revision rounds are needed before delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important field in an electric hoist RFQ?
Maximum load weight is the starting point. It must include the sling or lifting fixture weight, not just the payload. A quote based on payload alone can undersize the hoist.
Do I need to specify duty cycle?
Yes for repetitive production use. Duty cycle (lifts per hour and operating minutes per hour) determines the required work class (such as M4, M5, or FEM/ISO groups). A hoist sized only by capacity may overheat on a high-cycle line.
Can I use a 220 V single-phase hoist on a three-phase supply?
Not without confirming the motor and control compatibility. Single-phase and three-phase motors are different designs. State the exact available voltage, phase, and frequency in the RFQ. Do not assume adjacent voltage values are interchangeable.
How do I know if my beam fits the hoist trolley?
Provide the beam type (I-beam or wide-flange), flange width, and any curve radius. TOYO-INTL publishes trolley track-width and beam-range data for selected models. The final fit must be confirmed against the actual beam dimensions.
Is the first scenario in this article the cheapest option?
No. The order organizes five common buying scenarios. It is not a price ranking, quality ranking, or recommendation. Each scenario lists different RFQ priorities and different TOYO-INTL product series to review.
