ES Customer
- Industry: Automotive parts manufacturer (engines and transmissions)
- Location: San Salvador, EL Salvador
- Challenge: The customer needed to replace an aging 5-ton electric chain hoist on their engine assembly line. The old hoist was unreliable and caused production delays. They required a new, dependable hoist with specific features to improve efficiency and safety.
Requirements
- Lifting Capacity: 5 tons (11,000 lbs)
- Lifting Height: Minimum 9 meters (29.5 ft)
- Duty Cycle: Frequent use (M3 classification)
- Stable Lifting Speed: For precise positioning of heavy engine components
- Safety Features: Upper and lower limit switches, overload protection, emergency stop button
Solutions
In response to the client’s requirements, we proposed our 5 ton electric chain hoist with a lifting height of 9m and lifting speed of 3.2m/min, specifically designed to meet the demands of the automotive industry. Our 5 ton electric chain hoist with trolley features a robust and durable construction capable of easily handling heavy loads. Equipped with advanced safety features such as overload protection and emergency stop functions, our hoist ensures a secure lifting operation at all times.
Furthermore, our electric chain hoist for sale is designed for seamless integration with various lifting applications, offering flexibility and efficiency in the client’s production processes. With intuitive controls and ergonomic design, our hoist empowers the client’s workforce to perform lifting tasks with precision and confidence. We also provided on-site training and support to ensure that the client’s team could maximize the potential of our hoist.
Design Features
- Shell: It is made of a light aluminum alloy shell, light but hard. The cooling fin is especially designed to ensure quick heat dissipation with the rate up to 40% and continuous service. The integral enclosed structure applies to places like chemical plants and electroplate factories.
- Side magnetic braking device: The magnetic force generator is the latest design that is featured for generating magnetic force. It allows instant brake as soon as the electric power is cut off. Thus the braking safety while loading is guaranteed.
- Limit switch: The limit switch device is installed where the weight is lifted on and off to make the motor stop automatically to prohibit the chains from exceeding for safety.
- Support frame: The loading support frame consists of two extremely sturdy steel plates.
- Transformer: 24V/36V/48V transformer device. This device is used to prohibit unexpected accidents caused by electric leakage and guarantees safe use while raining.
- Electromagnetic contactor: Electromagnetic contactor can be used safely under high frequency.
- Chain: The chain shall adopt the imported FEC G80 ultra heat-treatable alloy steel chain. It can be safely used in poor environments such as rain, seawater, and chemicals.
- Inverse phases sequence protecting device: It is the special electrical installation that controls the circuit not working in case of wiring error in the power supply.
- Hook: It is hot forging with perfect strength that is hard to break. The operation safety of the lower hook is ensured by its 360 degrees rotation and safety.
- Control switch: A waterproof push button is applied. It is light and durable.
Standard fittings : Chain bag (1) Control cable (3m) Push-button switch (1)
