Wire rope electric hoists are the oldest and most widely used electric hoists. Traditional single-speed rope hoists and double-speed electric hoists have been optimized over many generations and have become the most cost-effective electric hoists on the market. At the same time, in order to meet the special requirements of special working conditions, Yuantai designed and improved the metallurgical hoist dedicated to the metallurgical industry and the explosion-proof electric hoist suitable for flammable and explosive environments.

With the gradual integration of domestic and international standards, the market needs higher efficiency, lower energy consumption, and safer lifting equipment. Yuantai Crane timely launched Europ-spec lifting equipment, including ND type European standard electric wire rope hoist and European crane system to meet market demand. European electric wire rope hoist has a more advanced design concept. Compared with traditional electric hoists, it has a modular design, compact structure, low headroom, low noise, low energy consumption, more stable operation, higher efficiency, and maintenance-free characteristic. Once the product was launched, it quickly became popular in the domestic market. Compared with the electric hoist of international brands, it is very cost-effective, and it is deeply loved by foreign customers. It has become one of the main products of our company.

As mentioned above, wire rope electric hoist is the oldest electric hoist and also the most widely used electric hoist. Normally, it’s used as a lifting mechanism of overhead crane, gantry crane, jib crane, and workstation crane system. Electric hoist with small size, light weight, simple operation, easy to use features, usually be used in industrial and mining enterprises, storage terminals and other places.

Main parts of electric wire rope hoist include lifting motor, gear box, winding drum, wire rope, rope guide, hook group, electrical parts and safety limiter parts.

Traditional type electric wire rope hoist structureTraditional type electric wire rope hoist structure
Traditional type electric hoist includes CD1, MD1, BCD, YH, CDL type electric wire rope hoist. From the structure you can see that, when the lifting motor is started, the power generated will drive the reel to rotate through a series of transmission devices, and the wire rope will be wound or separated from the reel after being combed by the rope guide to achieve the purpose of lifting or lowering. That’s how electric wire rope hoist work.

Recent years, DQCRANES launched Europe-spec electric wire rope hoist system to meet market needs. The new electric hoist is designed refer to GB (China), FEM (Europe), DIN (Europe) and other industry-related (ISO) standards. Compared with traditional electric wire rope hoist, the structure of Europe-spec electric wire rope hoist is more compact and net headroom is lower. But their working principle is the same.

Europe-spec electric wire rope hoist advantages:

  • Compact structure, light weight, small wheel pressure, maximum use of space, comprehensive cost performance
  • Modular design, low maintenance costs, complete spare parts service
  • Adopt low clearance design to save building height for customer workshop design, increase workshop hoisting area and save construction cost
  • Selected quality parts, low noise, safe and reliable, durable
  • Precise positioning, efficient operation, high sustainable work efficiency
  • Safe and reliable, operational monitoring, easy to repair.

As mentioned above, electric wire rope hoist normally is equipped on crane systems as lifting mechanism.

For monorail, the hoist is mounted on single girder or I-beam;
For double beam crane system, the hoist can be designed as an electric crab hoist trolley, travelling on the double girder crane.
The crane system equipped with electric wire rope hoist are serving every industry, such as:

  • Mechanical processing
  • General manufacturing
  • Automobile
  • Aviation industry
  • Metals industry
  • Paper and pulping
  • Power energy industry
  • Waste to Energy and Biomass
  • Petroleum and gas
  • Mining

You can refer to the following criteria to make a judgment:

  • Working environment. If the working environment is a special, such as flammable, explosive, high temperature, high dust, and highly corrosive workplaces, explosion-proof electric wire rope hoist is recommended.
  • Want low noise, low power consumption, maintenance-free, European electric hoist is more suitable for you
  • Want low cost, traditional electric wire rope hoist (CD1, MD1, BCD, YH, CDL type) is more cost-effective.
  • The space is limited and the height requirements are high, low headroom electric wire rope hoist is suitable.
