Different Types and Benefits of Wire Rope Hoists




A wire rope hoist is vital industry equipment used to lift bulky loads. It is usually seen in metal casting industries, factories, manufacturing industries, and more. Powered by electricity, these hoists offer the same working procedure as electric chain hoists, but the only difference that lies between them is the use of different lifting material. In rope hoists, a wire is used, and in a chain hoist, a metal chain is used. Wire rope hoists are considered better with the fact that they can't get rust.

A wire rope hoist is composed of these elements

• Frame
• Gears & Pinions
• Bearings
• Motors
• Wire rope
• Rope guide
• Hook
• Brakes
• Limit Switch
• Trolley Adjustment

Types of wire rope hoist systems:

• Monorail hoist - They are used when there's no height restriction to lift under the beam where they are attached. With their ability to lift higher, they are used on single girder overhead cranes. They are mainly used at dockyards for lifting and lowering bulky items with a simple push of a button.

• Base mounted hoist - Known for its versatility in lifting bulky items, a foot mounted, or base-mounted rope hoist can be used as a static hoist or a mobile hoist. They are mostly seen fixed to gantry cranes and trolley systems.

• Crab unit hoist - Used in double-girder cranes as they can move back and forth on both of the girders, crab unit hoists are used in lifting extremely heavy items. They offer a higher lifting mechanism as compared to the two mentioned above.

Benefits of using wire rope hoists

• These hoist systems can lift heavy items easily that weigh from 30 tons to 90 tons.
• They are automated machines and don't need any manpower to operate them. They save the cost spent on labours.
• Despite lifting heavy items, they offer a quick working procedure that saves time and increases productivity.
• Apart from easy lifting, the other industry items are safe while the wire rope hoists are performing their task.
• Unlike electric chain hoists, using electric wire rope hoists in an industry is much safer as there are fewer chances of accidents within the industrial facility.
• With a variety of wire rope hoists available in the market, any kind of shape and size of the items can be lifted easily.
• They are rust-resistant, which makes them more abrasive and durable than chain hoists. Galvanized wire rope hoists are even more resistant to harmful elements that affect their quality.
