Hoists – Defined

• A hoist is a device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel around which rope or chain wraps.
• In most applications, the hoist is usually suspended overhead by means of a hook, lug, or trolley.
• A hook or lug can be used to permanently mount a hoist in one location, or affix it to a trolley.
• A trolley is a vehicle which travels on a overhead rail or beam, normally used to move the hoist and it’s load from place to place.
• Hoists may be manually operated, electrically or pneumatically (air) driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium. The load is attached to the hoist by means of a lifting hook.

Types of Hoists

• The basic hoist has two important characteristics to define it: Lifting medium and power type.
• The lifting medium is either wire rope, wrapped around around a drum, or load-chain, raised by a pulley with a special profile to engage the chain.
• Power can be provided by different means. Common means are mechanical or manual, electric, and air driven motors.
• Both the wire rope hoist and chain hoist have been in common use since the 1800′s
