The lifting capacity and rotation radius of a running electric hoist are two core parameters that need to be considered when selecting equipment. Their specific explanations are as follows:

1、 Lifting capacity

The lifting capacity of a running electric hoist is usually between 0.5 tons and 10 tons, and some special customized models can achieve higher load-bearing levels. According to usage requirements, electric hoists can be divided into three categories: micro, medium, and heavy-duty:

Micro electric hoist: suitable for light load operations, with a lifting capacity typically between 0.5 tons and 2 tons. This type of equipment is small in size and light in weight, suitable for use in scenarios with limited space or low load requirements, such as small warehouses, workshop corners, etc.

Medium sized electric hoist: the most widely used, with a lifting capacity generally ranging from 3 to 5 tons. This type of equipment achieves a good balance between load capacity and device size, and can meet the needs of most industrial scenarios, such as factory workshops, logistics and warehousing.

Heavy duty electric hoist: suitable for large industrial or engineering sites, with a lifting capacity of up to 6 tons or even higher. This type of equipment usually uses high-strength steel and precision deceleration systems to ensure safe operation under high loads, such as ports, docks, construction sites, etc.

2、 Rotation radius

The rotation radius (i.e. turning radius) refers to the minimum spatial radius required for a running electric hoist to turn on the track, which directly affects the flexibility and operating range of the equipment. Electric hoists of different tonnages have different requirements for rotation radius, as follows:

Micro electric hoist:

0.3 tons, 0.5 tons: rotation radius not less than 1.2 meters.

1 ton: The rotation radius shall not be less than 0.8 meters (electric trolley type) or 1.5 to 4 meters (wire rope electric hoist, depending on the model and configuration).

Medium sized electric hoist:

2 tons: The rotation radius should not be less than 1.3 meters (some models may require higher, such as 2 to 3 meters).

3 tons: The rotation radius should not be less than 1.5 meters (some models may require 2 to 4 meters).

Heavy duty electric hoist:

5 tons: The rotation radius should not be less than 1.7 meters (some models may require 2.5 to 5 meters).

10 tons: Rotation radius not less than 2.5 meters (some models may require higher, such as 2.5 meters to 7.5 meters).

3、 Choose Suggestions

Select lifting capacity based on load requirements: clarify the weight of the materials to be lifted and consider a certain safety factor, and choose an electric hoist model slightly higher than the actual demand.

Choose a rotation radius based on the workspace: Evaluate the spatial layout of the work site to ensure that the electric hoist does not collide with surrounding equipment or obstacles when turning. For scenes with limited space, you can choose electric hoist models with smaller rotation radii or customize special tracks.

Consider other performance parameters of the equipment: in addition to lifting capacity and rotation radius, attention should also be paid to the lifting speed, operating speed, braking performance, and other parameters of the electric hoist to ensure that the equipment can meet actual operational needs.

Choose well-known brands and high-quality products: Famous brands and high-quality products usually have more reliable performance and more comprehensive after-sales service, which can reduce risks and costs during use.
