Overhead Crane Hoists for Sale

What is a crane hoist?

A crane hoist is a mechanical device that is used to lift and move heavy objects. It is typically mounted on a crane and consists of a motor, a gearbox, and a drum or reel around which a cable or chain is wound. The hoist can be operated manually or electronically and is used in a variety of industries, including construction, manufacturing, and transportation.

Electric wire rope hoist. The electric wire rope hoist is driven by a squirrel-cage cone-shaped rotor motor with its own brake, which has many advantages such as flexible speed change and speed regulation, and is more convenient and reliable, so it is widely used.

Crane Hoist Main Components

The main components of a crane hoist include:

1. Motor: The motor provides power to the gearbox, which drives the drum.
2. Gearbox: The gearbox converts the power from the motor into torque, which is used to drive the drum.
3. Drum: The drum is used to wind and unwind the hoist cable.
4. Hook: The hook is attached to the end of the hoist cable and is used to lift and move the load.
5. Hoist Cable: The hoist cable is made up of multiple strands of wire rope that are wound around the drum. It is used to lift and move the load.

Good-Quality Hoist Applications

Overhead crane hoists are used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, construction, and transportation. They are used to lift and move heavy objects such as steel beams, machinery, and shipping containers.

In addition to their use in industry, overhead crane hoists are also used in some recreational activities, such as zip-lining and bungee jumping. In these applications, they are used to lift people or equipment to a high point before they are released to fly through the air.

Hoists Applications on Single Girder Overhead Cranes

Differences

1. The hoist is placed at different positions. The hoist of European overhead crane is above the bridge frame, and the electric hoist of the single girder bridge crane is hung below the main girder.
2. The scope is different: European can be designed into single girder or double girder. But the traditional single girder bridge crane must be a single main girder.

How Does an Overhead Crane with Hoist Work?

The hoist is the component of the crane that actually lifts and moves the load. It is typically made up of a motor, a gearbox, a drum, and a hook. The motor provides power to the gearbox, which in turn drives the drum. The drum is used to wind and unwind the hoist cable, which is attached to the hook. When the motor is turned on, it rotates the drum, causing the cable to wind up and lift the load.

The crane itself is operated by a set of controls that are located on the ground. These controls allow the operator to move the crane along the track, position the hoist over the load, and lift and lower the load as needed.
