Description
Wire Rope Hoist Applications
- Manufacturing Plants: Used in production floors and assembly lines to move heavy materials, components, and machinery.
- Construction: Hoists handle bulky items like beams and concrete in high-rise buildings and infrastructure projects.
- Oil and Gas: Explosion-proof wire hoists lift pipes, valves, reactors, and more.
- Mining: The robust nature of wire rope hoists makes them suitable for underground mining.
- Shipyards: Able to withstand harsh marine environments, wire hoists lift boats, and ship parts like propellers and hull sections.
Precision-Engineered Components
- Wire Rope: Steel wire twisted around a core in various configurations, like 6×19 or 6×36, according to flexibility and strength requirements.
- Drum: We offer custom drum sizes and capacities for even rope winding at different lifting heights.
- Motor: Our modern electric motors offer variable speeds, thermal protection, and braking systems for safety.
- Gearbox: Regulates speed and torque. We use helical gears as they operate more quietly and with greater efficiency.
- Brake system: Our hoists are equipped with mechanical or electromagnetic braking systems and a fail-safe anti-slip mechanism.
- Control System: Our wire rope hoists include a hand-held pendant controller and can be integrated with radio remote control for wireless operation or PLCs for automated production lines.
Why Choose KRC Cranes Wire Rope Hoists?
At KRC Cranes, our wire rope hoists are ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications thanks to their high lifting capacity and durability. The high-tensile steel ropes are designed for continuous operation and will stand the test of time even in demanding environments. Their resistance to wear and tear supports a long operational lifespan, saving you costs and time on maintenance.
In addition to their tough properties, wire rope hoists boast excellent precision. They can place loads with millimeter-perfect precision, making them the superior choice for handling delicate and precious loads.
Our electric hoist wire rope products provide the ultimate smooth lifting experience—especially compared to chain hoists. They have minimal stretch to reduce load sway and give greater stability. They’re also faster than chain (or manual) hoists, which makes them more efficient.
KRC wire rope hoist electric variety features the latest safety systems including automatic load limiters, emergency stop, brake systems, and overload protection. They can be mounted on almost any crane type, including overhead, gantry, and jib cranes, as well as monorail systems.
