Hoist Coating
Protection Against Aggressive Media
In aggressive environments that compromise the reliability and lifespan of our equipment, it is important to pre-select the type of protective coating to be applied. Strict adherence to international standards ensures the quality of our finishes. Although all screws or exposed metal parts are galvanized, it is advisable, where possible and without affecting the operability of the equipment, to coat them with paint.
DIN EN ISO 12944 Part 6
Tomamos muy en serio la protección de su equipo. Por ello ofrecemos una grán variedad de recubrimientos desarrollados por expertos para satisfacer sus necesidades. Todo recubrimiento se realiza en fábrica STAHL. Solo así garatizaremos la compatibilidad de los componentes y calidad que se su proyecto exige.
Our equipment has been designed to withstand over 20 years of operation. Therefore, the importance of a coating is key to its preservation. STAHL provides modern painting applications, which we will present to you below.
A20/80: The standard for our hoists is an 80-micron coating in green and anthracite for motors. This protection is sufficient for most situations in the industrial market.
For applications according to your requirements regarding paint layer thicknesses and color, we suggest contacting us. Together we will find your best option.
Electrostatic Paints

FINISHES AND THICKNESSES FOR A20 COATING
Our solvent-based coatings are complex applications of polyester and epoxy-based paints that can be identified according to the attached "coatings chart". In the subsequent links, we provide the technical data sheets for these finishes and thicknesses.
SOLVENT-BASED EPOXY PAINTS COMBINED WITH ELECTROSTATIC PAINTS
Our solvent-based coatings are complex applications of polyester and epoxy-based paints that can be identified according to the attached "coatings chart". In the subsequent links, we provide the technical data sheets for these paints.
FINISHES AND THICKNESSES FOR COATINGS A20, A20A, A30
Our solvent-based coatings are complex applications of polyester and epoxy-based paints that can be identified according to the attached "coatings chart". In the subsequent links, we provide the technical data sheets for these finishes and thicknesses.
Repairs
Our coatings occasionally require repairs. For instance, when the equipment is struck and a crack is formed. In the following links, we outline the technical data sheets for carrying out professional repairs professionally.
How To Choose the Right Finish for Your Environment
The kind of work environment your hoists operate in determines the best coating to use. A hoist in a humid, salty coastal environment will require a much different finish than one in a dry, indoor facility.
We offer a range of proven coating applications to protect your product from corrosion, chemicals, and wear. If you get the finish right from the start, you'll prevent problems like rust and paint peeling later on.
Custom Designed Protection for Hoist Systems
All our protective coatings are factory-applied to ensure the highest quality. This process creates a stronger bond and a more uniform finish than painting on-site.
With us, you can get custom-designed solutions for even the most demanding applications. Whether you need a specific thickness, a special color, or a multi-layer system for your hoist systems, we can develop a custom coating that meets your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the C-ratings (C2, C3, C4, C5) mean?
The C-ratings come from the DIN EN ISO 12944 standard and classify how corrosive an environment is. C2 is a low-corrosion environment (like a heated workshop), while C5 is a very high-corrosion environment (like offshore or coastal industrial areas). We match the hoist coating to the C-rating of your workplace.
What is the best way to prevent the hoist coating from peeling?
The factory application process is the best defense against peeling. It creates a very strong bond to the metal. To maintain the finish, avoid deep scratches or impacts that break the paint surface and expose the metal underneath.
How do I repair the coating if it gets chipped or scratched?
Our packet features detailed manuals for repairs. Follow the instructions to properly patch the damaged area and restore the protective layer on the product.
Why is a factory-applied finish better than painting a hoist on-site?
A factory-applied finish is prepared, applied, and cured in a controlled environment. This process is a proven way to achieve the correct thickness and a superior bond, which is very difficult to replicate in the field.
Are these special coatings available for all STAHL hoist systems?
Yes, we can provide custom-designed protective coatings for our full range of hoist systems. We will work with you to determine the best product and finish for your specific model and its intended applications.
What is the difference between an epoxy and a polyester coating?
Epoxy coatings are known for their excellent hardness and chemical resistance, making them great primers. Polyester coatings provide a durable top finish with excellent color and gloss retention, especially against sunlight. Many of our advanced hoist coating systems use both in different layers.
What is the standard finish on your hoists if I don't ask for something custom?
Our standard coating is the A20/80 finish. This is a proven, high-quality coating that is suitable for the majority of general industrial applications.
How do I decide which coating application I need?
The best way is to talk with us. Tell us about your work environment, what materials the hoists will be exposed to, and we will help you select the right hoist coating. We will both agree on the best solution.
What form do I need to fill out to get a quote for a custom finish?
You don't need to fill out a specific form to start. The best first step is to contact our team directly through the information on this page. We can discuss all your options and get the process started.
