Role of wire rope hoists and underslung cranes

  We often see cranes lifting and moving heavy or bulky loads, especially on construction sites and industrial units. In factories, in order to provide more floor space, overhead cranes are used.  Overhead cranes are basically a combination of the hoist, trolley and bridge. All these components provide motion and multi-directional mobility to the crane. The hoist is situated on the bridge girder, which is a primary horizontal beam of the crane. Hoists are meant for lifting and lowering heavy loads on a vertical plane and can also be connected to the trolley for back-and-forth movement on the horizontal bridge girder of the crane. For lifting loads, chains or wire ropes are used depending on the weight to be moved. While chain hoists are good enough for lifting load up to 5 tons,  wire rope hoists  are more appropriate for a load above 5 tons.
