Hoists

Wire Rope Hoists

Wire rope hoists designed and manufactured for different industries, applications and environments. Electric units are driven by electric motors and lift loads of up to 50 tons or more, pneumatic units run on compressed air and typically lift up to 25 tons where spark free operation is needed, manual units cover light duty work up to 5 tons, and explosion proof units use special components that prevent the ignition of flammable gases or dust particles in petrochemical or explosive atmospheres.

Specifications are configured per project. Send your drawing, capacity or duty requirement and the build will be confirmed in writing with the quotation.
Why It Works

Key Benefits

Four hoist types from one source let a plant match each area to its power supply and its hazard classification

Explosion proof components let lifting continue in petrochemical areas where a standard hoist could not be installed

Pneumatic units give spark free operation in refineries without running electrical supply to the lifting point

Manual units keep light duty stations equipped without any service connection at all

Electric units lifting up to 50 tons or more cover heavy duty industrial work without a separate crane purchase

Problems

Problems It Solves

A standard electric hoist cannot be used where flammable gas or dust is present

Running power to a remote lifting point can cost more than the hoist itself

Light duty stations are often over equipped with powered hoists that sit idle

Buying hoists for different areas from different suppliers complicates service and spares

FAQ

Wire Rope Hoists FAQ

How much can an electric wire rope hoist lift

Electric units are driven by electric motors and can lift loads of up to 50 tons or more, with the rating fixed on the quotation.

Which hoist suits a refinery

Pneumatic wire rope hoists are used where spark free operation is necessary, such as in oil refineries, and typically lift up to 25 tons.

Is there a hoist for explosive atmospheres

Yes. Explosion proof wire rope hoists use special components that prevent the ignition of flammable gases or dust particles.

What is available for light duty lifting

Manual wire rope hoists rely on hand driven mechanisms and lift and lower loads up to 5 tons.

What is the minimum order quantity

Order quantity is agreed with the enquiry and stated in writing with the quotation.

How long is the delivery lead time

Lead time depends on the hoist type and capacity selected and is confirmed with the quotation.
