HOIST
Invented around 240 BC by the mathematician, physicist and engineer Archimedes, the hoist is used to handle, lift and move heavy objects. The hoist is simply operated by a mechanism equipped with a chain or cable that reduces the effort required to lift a load. This effort can be multiplied thanks to the strands. In fact, the more strands there are, the less effort is required.
Mobile cranes, ideal for indoor use. The mobile jib crane can lift loads ranging from 150 kg to 500 kg with a radius of action of around two metres. The mobile jib crane can be moved by means of all-terrain wheels, which allow it to move on any type of ground. The most commonly used model is the mobile jib crane with a triangular boom with a hollow profile that adapts to workshop conditions.
Drum cranes are the most common cranes, especially in the industrial sector. This type of crane is designed to move very heavy loads of up to several tonnes. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. The jib crane is fixed with chemical anchors or with anchor rods and concrete blocks. The jib cranes are available with a triangular or inverted jib with a rotation range of 270° to 360° and a reach of up to 9 metres.
The wall-mounted jib cranes are equipped with a triangular or inverted jib, which reduces the headroom. The wall-mounted jib crane has the option of being motorised or manual with a 180° rotation. The wall-mounted jib cranes are suitable for individual use and avoid clutter in the work area. The lifting capacity of this type of jib crane ranges from 150kg to 4 tonnes with a standard reach of up to 8000mm.
To choose the right jib crane for your lifting application, you need to:
Know the environment in which you want to install your jib crane. This will allow you to choose between a fixed jib crane, a mobile jib crane or a wall-mounted jib crane.
Know the load you wish to lift with the crane. The weight will allow you to choose the necessary lifting capacity.
Know the maximum height and reach required to lift the load.
Know the type of jib crane you want : you can choose between an electric jib crane or a manual jib crane.
A design office is at your disposal to meet your lifting needs for your cranes and gantries. The design office will draw up an estimate according to your request. For further information, please contact our customer service.
There are three types of hoists:
The simple hoist consisting only of a block
The differential hoist consisting of either a rope or two belts that cross in a pulley at two different diameters
The Verlinde hoist was designed by the famous French manufacturer Verlinde in 1918. Simply put, it is an electric hoist.
The standard lifting height of a hoist is 3 metres, but we offer lifting equipment from 1 to 6 metres in height.
Our range includes manual chain and lever hoists, electric hoists and pneumatic hoists. The hoists can be fixed or mounted on a trolley with manual or electric travel. You can also find hoist trolleys in steel or stainless steel. Each hoist purchased comes with a 12-month guarantee and a certificate of conformity at the time of delivery.
Our workshops are equipped to carry out the periodic inspection, maintenance and repair of all the manual hoists, electric hoists and pneumatic hoists that we distribute. Finally, our teams publish monthly articles on our blog to inform you of the correct way to use our hoists and to make you aware of the possible dangers to be avoided during a lifting operation with a hoist.
