Hoist overview

The overview of hoists includes the types of hoists, hoist applications, considerations, attributes, etc. which are for your reference to get your suitable hoists at competitive price.

What are Hoists?

Hoists are mechanical or electro-mechanical lifting tools, based on mechanical advantage to move objects or loads vertically and support hanging objects loads. Hoists transfer weight by using pulleys or gears to transfer low force over long distances into larger forces applied over shorter distances.

The chain or wire rope is wound around a hoist drum or wheel and further wound around other gears or pulleys with different diameters, some of which also can be in the load block. This configuration of hoist is called the reeving, which will decide how the force of a load will be transferred. Hoists are applied in fixed or mobile applications for general purpose and the custom designed hoists can be used for special purposes

Hoists typically work with a hook at the fixed end that connects to a lifting crane or trolley and a hook at the moveable end which engages the load.

Manual hoists vs. Powered hoists

Manual Hoists

Manual hoists, also called chain falls, chain blocks, or hand hoists are ratchet or hand chain operated lifting tools. A manual hoist or hand hoist uses two different chains, the hand chain used to control the up and down of the loads and the load chain to hang and support the load. Compared to most powered hoists, manual hoists or hand hoists typically have the following features:

  • Hand hoist costs are lower initially
  • Hand hoist are easier to be transported or moved. More work are needed for the hand hosts to lift heavier loads
  • Longer lifting time are needed for the hand hoists, compared to powered varieties
  • Usually hand hoists prone to more wear and tear over time than the powered hoists.

Powered Hoists

Powered hoists includes the 3 types, electric power hoists, air/pneumatic hoists and hydraulic hoists. Compared to general manual hoists, the power hoists have the following features for general:

  • The lifting speed of the power hoist is faster.
  • Lifting capacity of power hoists has wider range.
  • The operation of power hoist can be pendant operated or controller operated

Applications and Industries

Hoists has a wider application with no restriction to industrial application for material handling such as, lifting cargo, construction materials, engines and warehouse stock.

Industries where hoists are applied include, but are not limited to:

  • Aerospace
  • Automotive
  • Construction
  • Logging
  • Marine
  • Manufacturing
  • Medical
  • Mining

New vs. Used

When selecting between the new hoist and used one, the following should be considered in term of the used hoist.

  • The condition of a used or refurbished hoist should be assessed thoroughly, and the hoist riggings also needs to be inspected.
  • The regular maintenance of the hoist is highly recommended to be checked.
  • Further more, the serial number for the used hoists should be identified to clarify the design specifications and limitations as set by the manufacturer. And the failure in the support structure or line material also need to be well aware if there is any.
  • Be aware of the regulations and rules of the overhead and gantry cranes.

Important Attributes

Lift Capacity

Lift capacity of the hoists is the weight that can be supported by the hoist. Hoist lifting capacity is determined by the tolerance of the line material, frequency of use, power source and the hoist supporting structure, etc. . The capacity of the selected hoist should be higher than your heaviest load.

Line Material

The line material refers to the media through which a force will be used to lift an object or loads. Chain and wire rope or cable are the most frequently used line materials. Whereas, the rope and strap or webbing can be used as the line materials for the smaller or lighter loads

Power Source

The power source provides the energy to turn the gears which will lift up or down the line material.

  • The most basic chain block hoists are worked by hand chains or levers.
  • Electric power hoists are commonly used on heavy loads.
  • portable hoists can be powered by combustion of fuel such as gasoline and diesel.
  • Air and hydraulically powered hoists are used in environments where the sparking of electrical units is a concern.

Suspension Type

Hoists can be suspended or mounted in stationary locations by being hooked or bolted onto permanent fixtures or movable stands.

Hoists may have built-in equipment making them be attached to overhead trolleys. The hoists can be pushed or pulled along rail or can use self-contained motorized units.

Lift Height

The lift height of the hoists refers to the distance from the load hook at its highest position to the load hook’s lowest position. The combination of the headroom and lift is called the reach.

Lift Speed

Lift speed is the rate at which a load can be lifted.

The lift speed of the hoists can be affected by the load weight and height. Higher capacity hoists tend to have lower lifting speeds.

Some hoists have multiple or variable speeds. ( MD hoist has double speed) which can provide flexibility when working with a range of loads.

Headroom

The headroom of a hoist refers to the distance from the rail or tread on which the hoist sits and the hook which is attached to the load.

Similarly, for stationary models, this can be measured as the distance from the point at which the hoist is mounted and the lifting hook.

Before choosing a particular hoist it is important to know how it will be suspended or mounted as well as where it will be used. Be sure the hoist can operate freely without obstructions.
