WIRE ROPE HOISTS
SINGLE HOOK MONORAIL HOISTS (4-7.5 TON)

wire rope hoists Wire Rope Hoists are built to last! After 10, 20 and
even 30 years, these hoists are still found abundantly
operating in the field.

Almost All our Wire Rope Hoists are built around a
WORM GEAR Drive, considered to be the heart of
our machine. Worm Gear Drives are rugged and
reliable and offer smooth and quiet operation. The high
ratio worm gear makes the drive inherently self-locking
and thus provides a safe mechanical load brake that
does not require adjustment.

The MAJOR advantage of a Worm Gear HOIST is
its low maintenance. Fewer moving parts have proven
to be the answer to greater dependability and much
fewer repairs.

We offers a wide variety of both standard and custom
hoists that fit almost all applications. Our hoists range
in size from ½ Ton to 15 Ton in capacity. Low Head-
room models start at 11”. Lifts are available in excess
of 100 ft.

HOIST WORM GEARING
HOIST WORM GEAR 3D MODEL
We use Worm Gear Drives on all its Wire Rope Hoists, Drive Tractors and Bridge Crane End Trucks as standard.
Worm Gear Drives are rugged and reliable and offer smooth and quiet operation.

Due to their inherent friction, Worm Gear Drives also act very similar to brakes by retarding motion. For that reason,
brakes are generally NOT required on all our Worm Gear Trolleys, Drive Tractors or End Trucks. Heavy capacity,
high momentum systems operating without VFD controls are sometimes the exception. In these cases, the trolley or
crane may roll more than the acceptable limit without a brake.

For High-Ratio Worm Gear Hoists, there are some major advantages over other hoists.

• High-Ratio Worm Gears safely control the lifting load without the need for a Mechanical Load Brake.
• High-Ratio Worm Gears are inherently Self-Locking thus these hoists are very capable of acting as 2nd
   stopping brake and also holding up a load.
• Worm Gear Hoists have very Low Maintenance as fewer moving parts lead to fewer repairs
• High-Ratio Worm Gear Hoists Conform to CMAA, ASME and OSHA guidelines

controls with radio
We offer various Control Packages for all our Hoist and
Crane Equipment. Whether it is Standard or Custom, we
can build the control panel of your choice.

(VFD) Control Packages are slowly becoming very popular
and are almost standard on all new equipment these days.
The benefits of (VFD) Controls by far outweigh its initial
costs. (VFD) Controls allow the operator to precisely and
safely control the load. Acceleration and deceleration rates
and 2-speed control limits are all set to best support the
given application. Any wear induced on mechanical parts
over time when using (VFD) Controls is much less.

Custom Controls With Radio
Please see our photos for further reference on our control panels.

Optional Feature: Component Parts - Overload Limit Switch
overload limit switch
We offer an Overload Limit Switch that is mounted
underneath one of our trolleys as an OPTION. This
Overload Limit Switch can be purchased with a
NEW hoist or for an EXISTING hoist and installed
in the field with minimal effort. This switch is adjusted
within 5% and there is no loss of headroom.

Overload Limit Switch – Trolley Mounted
Optional Feature: Custom Hoists - Rope Guide Hoists

Heavy Duty Rope Guide System
Rope Guide Close Up -
Showing Drum and Upper Sheave
We offer a heavy duty Rope Guide System as a SAFETY option on all our NEW Standard Headroom Hoists.

This system features a heavy duty BRONZE Rope Guide and Slide as well as a DEEP GROOVED Drum; grooved
to 100% depth of the wire rope. Our Rope Guide System allows for moderate side pulling, slack cable conditions
and other load swings that may cause the wire rope to lose its proper groove and bind up or pile up on the drum.

This option should ALWAYS be a consideration on LONG LIFT hoist applications but especially on those in which
the operator is not able to clearly see the drum.

Please see our photos for further reference.

Machines are designed in accordance with our interpretation of the specifications of
the National Electric Code, Underwriters Laboratory and Factory Mutual but are
NOT tested by them, nor do they carry their label as a whole. However, most of the
Individual Electrical Components do carry an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Label.

Please NOTE; the full responsibility for determining the existence and severity of a
hazard in a specific area rests with the (Authority) responsible for enforcing that code.

Additional NOTES:

• Machines are available for Class I (Vapors): Groups C & D and Class II
   (Dusts): Group E, F & G (As Division 1 or 2)
• We use TENV motors as standard on all Division 2 applications (With
   Contained Hazard) as permitted by NEC code.
• Any requirements for Spark Resistant Features in severe hazardous
   environments lies with the (Authority)
• Spark Resistant Features generally include Stainless Steel Wire Rope,
   Bronze Trolley Wheels and Bronze Hook and/or Complete Block.

HOT METAL HOIST
Dependent upon the severity of the application, we offer many different
features some of which are printed as guidelines by CMAA, ASME
and ASTM publications.
Please see our Equipment Photos as well
as a list of Hot Metal Hoist Features for
further reference.
HOT METAL HOIST FEATURES
• Worm Gear Drive (As 2nd Braking Mechanism).
• Power Circuit Limit Switch.
• Gear Type (Upper & Lower) Limit Switch.
• Wire Rope with IWRC and 8:1 Safety Factor.
• Hoist Frame Mounted Safety Lugs.
• Rotating Light and /or Warning Bell for Trolley Motion.
• Heat/Splatter Shield under Hook Block.
• Heat Shields under Hoist and Trolley Drive Units.
• Class H Insulation for Hoist and Trolley Motors.
• NEMA 12 Enclosures.
• High Temp Internal Wiring.
• High Temp External Wiring with Metal Conduit.
• Magnetic Mainline Contactor.
• Motor Thermostats or Thermal Overload Relays.
• Branch Circuit Fuses.
• NEMA 12 Pendant with Metal Enclosure and Fire
   Sleeve Cord Cover.
• High Temperature Oil in Reducers.
• High Temperature Grease in all Bearings.
• Rubber Bumpers.
• Oversized Hook – Hook Throat Opening and Radius
   shall allow ladle bail to fit firmly in the bowl of the hook.

Optional Feature: Custom Hoists - Hoist and Tractor Combinations
rope guide hoist with tractor drive For superior trolley performance utilize a Hoist &
Tractor Combination.

The consistently POSITIVE action of a drive tractor
will generally out-perform a standard motorized trolley
in many monorail applications.

By combining a drive tractor with your hoist, you will
better negotiate curves, ride up inclines and will eliminate
nuisance slipping in many severe working environments.

Furthermore, the inherent beam tension of a drive tractor
can also serve to RESIST motion in certain applications
particularly when load swing or side-pull present motion
issues.
