GETTING TO KNOW YOUR HOIST
Your hoist is a powerful piece of machinery. It is important that you
understand the basics of its operation and specifications so that
when you need to use it, you can safely use it with confidence. Below
is a list of the components of your hoist and their uses.
NB: A Hoist is not the same as a winch. Hoists are for made
specifically for lifting loads in the air whilst winches are made for
pulling loads horizontally across the ground.
1. Motor: The motor is powered by a 12-volt battery and provides power
to the gear assembly which turns the drum and winds the wire rope
in a direction.
2. Hoist Drum: The hoist drum is the cylinder on which the wire rope is
stored. It can be spooled In or Out by use of the remote lead switch.
3. Hoist Rope: Your hoist been supplied with galvanized aircraft steel
cable and is designed specifically for load capacity of the rated lift of
this hoist. The cable feeds on from underneath the drum position, it
is looped at one end to accept the hook.
4. Gear Assembly System: The reduction gears convert the hoist motor
power into extreme pulling forces.
5. Braking System: Braking action is automatically applied to the hoist
when the hoist motor is stopped or there is a load on the wire rope.
This is achieved by a separate external mechanical brake which
applies the braking action.
6. Solenoid: Power flows through the switch before being directed to
the hoist motor.
7. Wired Remote lead Switch: The remote switch leads have a dual
switch for powering in or powering out your hoist drum. The remote
control allows you to stand clear of the hoist rope when the hoist is
under load.
