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, ideal for overhead cranes for sale.
Lifting Rope: Standard synthetic rope, with an optional high-strength steel wire rope for heavy-duty lifting in various crane applications.
Trolley: Carries the hoist and moves horizontally along the crane’s girder, available in both single and double girder configurations for versatile lifting solutions.
Main Girder: The horizontal beam that supports the trolley and hoist, available in profile or box girder designs, making it suitable for various operational environments.
End Carriages: House the wheels that allow the crane to travel along the rails, ensuring smooth and efficient horizontal movement.
Hooks: Made to the DIN 15401 standard, providing secure lifting and reliable operation.
Control System: Operated via pendant control, remote control, or integrated smart features for enhanced control and ease of use in all applications, including those for overhead cranes.
Electrical System: Includes motors, wiring, and optional smart functions such as hook centering and obstacle prevention, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
