23 Sep, 2021

Different types of hosts and their applications:

Fix Type Hoist: When the application requires only vertical motion to be handled by a hoist, this type of hoist is used. The most common application of this type of hoist is' Goods lift', where it is mounted at the top of the building, and the material is lifted at different floor levels. In the case of wire rope hoist, it is foot mounted, and in the case of chain hoist, it is top hook mounted.

Push-Pull or Geared Trolley Hoist: It is hoisting equipment with a piece of the hand-operated trolley at the top, which is equipped with a wheel for facilitating lateral motion manually. jib crane is best suited for this kind of Hoist.
 
electric hoist with Electric Trolley: The Electric Trolley Wire Rope Hoist is heavy-duty electric equipment applicable for rough environment applications. This Hoist is one of the fastest moving ones. It uses an electric motor for lifting and another electric motor for lateral movement and can carry more than 63 tonnes of load under the monorail beam. Specific power travel hoists can be designed with more massive load-bearing abilities. This Hoist can genuinely deliver the desired performance, especially in steel mills and chemical plants.

Double Rail Hoist: The double rail hoist is specifically designed for the singular purpose of supporting Double Girder Cranes. It is also commonly termed as the crab hoist amongst the industry. Double girder cranes are mostly used for an extended period and hence required a piece of specialized hoist equipment. This is where the crab hoist crawls along smoothly and gets the job done.

Flame Proof Hoist: The name completely describes its utility and is instrumental in hazardous environments prone to fire. Chemical plants and oil refineries are common areas of applications where this Hoist is required. Its working ability is similar to a typical hoist and can be electrically operated by virtue of a handheld pendant.

Other kinds: Apart from the common ones mentioned above, there are also a few variations of electric Hoist, which are modifications of the basic types. A few common varieties are the double rail type hoists and the suspension hosts, which operate on a similar principle but a different set of industry applications.
