All information about electric hoist

1. What is an electric hoist?

Electric hoist is a commonly used lifting equipment, mainly composed of motor, reducer, gear, brake, chain or wire rope and control system. It can be used in many situations, such as factories, warehouses, docks, construction sites, stages, film and television equipment, etc. The operator operates through hand-controlled electrical appliances or remote controls to make the goods rise or fall smoothly and vertically, which improves handling efficiency and safety. In addition, the electric hoist also has safety equipment such as protective devices and limit switches to ensure more reliability and safety during operation. It has a wide load range and can carry weights ranging from tens of kilograms to several tons in different working situations.

2. Type of electric hoist

Electric chain hoist: The chain is used as the transmission method for lifting goods. This hoist has a simple structure, is easy to use, and can carry heavier items.

Wire rope electric hoist: The wire rope is used as the transmission method for lifting goods. It has a strong carrying capacity, but is relatively complicated and requires regular inspection and maintenance.

Operating electric hoist: a lifting equipment that combines an electric hoist and a crane, and has the advantage of high mobility.

Special purpose electric hoist: metallurgical electric hoist, stage electric hoist, climbing frame electric hoist, explosion-proof electric hoist, etc.

3. How to use and precautions: The usage is as follows:

Check whether all components on the hoist are normal, especially whether the safety devices and limiters are complete and reliable, and clean and lubricate the corresponding parts. Place the goods stably at the location to be lifted and secure them securely to prevent the goods from shaking or slipping during transportation. Turn on the electric hoist through a hand-controlled appliance or remote control, wrap the chain around the lifting object, adjust the lifting speed and height, and complete the cargo lifting work. During the operation process, dedicated personnel must be ensured and the machine's operating parameters must be adjusted at any time as appropriate to ensure safety and accuracy. Notes are as follows: Careful inspection must be carried out before use, and if problems are found, repair or replace the equipment promptly. During operation, overloading is strictly prohibited to avoid accidents. Cargo must not be lifted unattended, especially fragile items that need to be handled with corresponding protective measures. In busy working places, pay attention to a safe distance from other machinery and personnel to avoid unexpected situations. Perform regular maintenance and update worn parts of the equipment. Perform maintenance, replacement and cleaning work in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for use and relevant specifications.
