Description
- A radial electric wire rope hoist is a type of electric wire rope hoist that is designed for use in applications where loads need to be moved horizontally as well as vertically. It is commonly used in industrial and construction settings where heavy loads need to be moved and positioned with precision.
- Unlike a traditional electric wire rope hoist, which moves loads only vertically, a radial electric wire rope hoist can move loads horizontally along a rail system. This is achieved through the use of a trolley system that is attached to the hoist, which moves along a track mounted on the supporting structure.
- The hoist is typically powered by electricity and is controlled through a variety of systems, including pendant control, radio control, or cabin control. It consists of a motorized drum or a pulley system with a wire rope that is used to lift and move the load. The wire rope is wound onto the drum or pulley, and the motor provides the power to move the load up and down, as well as horizontally.
- Radial electric wire rope hoists are available in several types, including single-speed and multi-speed, which are designed to suit specific requirements. They are typically designed to handle heavy loads, ranging from a few hundred pounds to several tons.
