How to use an electric wire rope hoist?

Electric wire rope hoist consists of electric motors, gearbox, rope drum with rope guides and a large wire rope coupled with a hook. Before buying a heavy duty eléctrico de la grúa, you should have clear about how to use this hoist.

1. Voltage Check– Check your hoist to ensure the voltage of the motor matches the voltage of your available power supply. Connect the hoist to the power supply only when you are confirmed about this. Voltage is proportional to the speed of the hoist.
2. Check the lubrication– Ensure you have checked the lubrication. In this process, you have to ensure that the gearboxes are filled up to the mark by suggested oil or grease grade in the gearbox.
3. Test push buttons– Check your control pendant switches before the electric hoist is carrying the load. Test your emergency stop button by pressing it, and making sure the wire rope hoist ceases movement.
4. Test wire rope tangling– Lower the rope all the way to make sure your rope is not tangled by lowering or lifting it. If the rope is tangling, do not proceed until it is untangled.
5. Check the Limit Switches– This is a very imperative check that needs to be done. Test the hoist limit switch, pressing the up button all the way. The limit switch should disconnect when the hook reaches the top of the hoist. Repeat the test by pressing the down button.
6. Test Cross Travel Motion– Move the crane to the right or to the left. Check the cross travel limit switches working by taking the hoist to the extreme of the monorail or the Crane Bridge.
7. Test the Long Travel Motion–Move the crane horizontally. Check the cross travel limit switches working by taking the crane to the extreme of the gantry rails.
8. Trial run with the load– When your hook has been attached to your load, you can test to lift the load.
