Electrical
Hoists are the material handling equipment that is used in lifting, lowering,
and moving materials and products of many sizes. The
main types of electric hoists are Electric Chain Hoists and the Electric Rope
Hoist.
Thanks to their flexibility and versatility in being able to adapt
to every lifting operation. While onsite the Electrical
Hoists may be used as standalone equipment or as part of a lifting system,
depending on the quality of the Electric Hoist. The quality of the hoist will
affect the travel speed and lifting speed of the electronic hoist and
therefore, will influence the production rate and turnaround time of the
operation.
Electrical Hoists must be compatible with the beams of the lifting
system’s structural frame as well as the electrical hoist. The Trolley is a
vital part of the production process because they are responsible for
transporting the Electric Hoist. There are various types of Electric Hoist
Trolleys, such as:
·
The Push
Trolley
·
Geared
Trolley
· Electrical Travel Trolley
The Electrical Hoist comes with lifting regulations that must be observed to uphold safety. These regulations are based around their rated capacity, working load, and duty cycle which are the critical specifications of Electrical Hoists.
Electric Hoist Safety
Many Electric Hoists have built-in safety features, and the hooks
will have catches for safety so the lead will not become disengaged. There are
clutch systems on most electrical hoists which slip at a pre-set torque, this
prevents the device from overloading which can become very dangerous.
Electrical Hoists are made with a switch mechanism, this is where
the chain will mechanically engage when an overload occurs. New Electric Hoists
will come with a safety cut-out switch for emergencies, these are extremely
important for safety reasons.
