Brief Introduction of Hoist

A hoist is a tool used for lifting heavy objects, primarily through mechanical or electric means. Based on its driving method and structural characteristics, hoists can be mainly classified into the following categories:

Manual Hoists:

  • Lever Hoist: Operated manually by pulling a lever, which drives the internal mechanical structure to lift the load. Suitable for situations with lighter weights and lower usage frequency.
  • Chain Hoist: Operated manually by pulling a chain to lift the load, featuring a simple structure and ease of use. Commonly used in factories, construction sites, and similar settings.

Electric Hoists:

  • Fixed Electric Hoist: Installed at a fixed location, driven by an electric motor to lift the load. Suitable for lifting tasks at a single fixed point.
  • Running Electric Hoist: Can move along a track, suitable for lifting and moving loads within a certain range, such as in warehouses and workshops.

Pneumatic Hoists:

  • Powered by compressed air, driven by pneumatic devices to lift the load. Suitable for environments requiring explosion-proof operation and avoiding electrical sparks, such as chemical plants and mines.
