Monorail electric hoists are efficient, flexible, lightweight lifting devices widely used in factories, warehouses, workshops, and other locations for lifting and handling materials. Depending on the lifting medium, they can be categorized as either wire rope or chain type. Load capacities typically range from 3 to 20 tons, meeting the lifting needs of various scenarios.
Basic Components of a Monorail Electric Hoist
The electric hoist main unit, consisting of a motor, reducer, drum (or chain), hook, and other core components, is responsible for lifting and lowering loads.
Operating Mechanism: The electric hoist moves along a monorail (I-beam or specialized track), typically driven by a motor-driven travel wheel.
Control System: Lifting and travel are controlled via buttons (wired or wireless), a remote control, or an automated system.
Track System: The monorail is typically made of I-beam or specialized profiles, fixed to the roof or support, and supports the movement of the electric hoist.
Monorail electric hoists play an important role in material handling on production lines, loading and unloading in warehouses, and equipment maintenance. Monorail electric hoists control system supports push-button, remote control, or automated operation, and is equipped with safety devices such as limit switches and overload protection to ensure safe and reliable operation. Special designs such as explosion-proof and low-headroom models are also available to adapt to complex environments such as chemical, high-temperature, and confined spaces.
