Wire rope hoist cranes are a powerful type of overhead lifting equipment designed for high-load, high-cycle industrial applications. They utilize a wire rope wound around a drum for lifting and lowering loads. Compared to chain hoist cranes, wire rope hoists offer higher lifting capacity, faster speeds, and longer duty cycles, making them ideal for demanding environments such as steel plants, heavy machinery workshops, and manufacturing lines.
They are available in both single girder and double girder configurations and can be customized to fit various operating conditions.
Wire Rope Hoist: The central lifting unit that uses a drum to wind and unwind the wire rope for vertical movement.
Lifting Rope: Standard synthetic rope with optional high-strength steel wire rope for heavy-duty lifting.
Trolley: Carries the hoist and moves horizontally along the crane’s girder (available in single or double girder form).
Main Girder: The horizontal beam that supports the trolley and hoist; available in profile or box girder designs.
End Carriages: House the wheels that allow the crane to travel along the rails.
Hooks: Made according to DIN 15401 standard for secure lifting.
Control System: Operated via pendant control, remote control, or integrated smart features.
Electrical System: Includes motors, wiring, and optional smart functions like hook centering and obstacle prevention.
