Load lifting in industries is a very tedious and time-consuming process. Electric chain hoist, wire rope hoist, winches are very popular with good lifting speed, can minimize the effort of lifting heavy materials to a great extent.

About the hoist lifting speed, you should know the three main parameters that need to be concentrated on:

  • What materials to be lifted
  • The lifting capacity
  • The lifting height

All three characteristics are dependent on each other.

Lifting capacity (what materials to be lifted):

  • The speed of the hoists depends on the weight of the materials to be lifted, i.e., the lifting capacity.
  • Not all materials are of the same weight. Some might be heavier, whereas others might be relatively lighter.
  • Similarly, there are often a set of materials that requires very delicate handling during the lifting procedure. Otherwise, the fragility of such materials might lead to their breakage.
  • Hence, to avoid that it is a must that the entire procedure should be undertaken by experienced personnel with great care.

Lifting height:

  • Similarly, the lifting height is also another parameter to which lifting speed is adversely related.
  • Under ideal conditions, lifting to heights of around 120 Meter is allowed.
  • The hoist operator can move the hoist up and down according to his convenience.
  • However, no matter how excellent the efficiency of the electric hoist is, it is still advisable to operate it at a relatively lower speed, can reduces the risk of the hazards.

To put it simply, the more smoothly the speed of the hoist is regulated, the better will be the handling of the hoist, the more efficiently the industry will work.
