Wire Rope Hoists
The Wire Rope Hoists category covers lifting hoists that use a steel wire rope as the load-handling and lifting medium, with mechanical architecture varying by the equipment design, used for controlled lifting applications with rated capacity and lift height per the equipment design. Models vary in rated capacity, lift height, wire-rope arrangement, reeving configuration and drive architecture. This category differs from chain hoists in the lifting medium used. Specifications vary across models.

About this category
Wire rope hoists are lifting products that use a steel wire rope as the load-handling and lifting medium instead of a load chain, with drum arrangement, drive architecture and rope path varying by the equipment design. Models differ in documented rated capacity, lift height and wire rope type in construction, material, diameter and layer count; a single rope specification should not be assumed across the category. Reeving arrangements (number and pattern of sheaves) vary between models per system; these details are defined in the manufacturer's documentation. Models differ in power source between electric, manual and pneumatic designs depending on the model, and a single power source should not be assumed across the category. Brake systems vary between models and include electric brakes and mechanical brakes per model. Frame designs differ between compact units and units mounted on a trolley running on a beam. A wire rope hoist must be distinguished from a chain hoist in medium characteristics, lift path and maintenance requirements. Chain hoists of all types and lever hoists are excluded from this category. Industrial buyers select wire rope hoist models based on rated capacity, lift height, installation type and documented inspection and maintenance requirements.
