A running electric hoist (also known as an electric traveling hoist or motorized trolley hoist) is a type of lifting device that combines an electric hoist with a motorized trolley system, allowing it to move horizontally along a beam or rail while simultaneously lifting or lowering a load vertically. This dual-motion capability makes it highly versatile for various material handling and lifting applications in industrial, construction, and warehouse settings.

Key Features of a Running Electric Hoist:

Vertical Lifting Mechanism:

Equipped with an electric motor that drives a chain or wire rope drum to lift and lower loads.

Features a braking system (electromagnetic or mechanical) to hold the load securely when power is cut.

Horizontal Travel System:

Mounted on a motorized trolley that moves along an I-beam, H-beam, or rail.

The trolley is powered by a separate electric motor, enabling smooth horizontal movement.

Control Options:

Typically controlled via a pendant controller (wired or wireless) or a remote control.

Some advanced models offer integration with automated systems or PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for synchronized operations.

Safety Features:

Overload protection to prevent hoist damage if the load exceeds its rated capacity.

Upper and lower limit switches to stop the hoist at predefined heights.

Emergency stop button for immediate halting of operations.

Safety hooks with latches to prevent accidental disengagement of the load.

Duty Cycle:

Designed for specific duty cycles (e.g., S2, S3, S4) to match operational frequency (intermittent, continuous, or heavy-duty use).

Types of Running Electric Hoists:

Fixed-Speed Hoists:

Operate at a constant lifting and traveling speed, suitable for general-purpose applications.

Variable-Speed Hoists:

Allow adjustable lifting and traveling speeds, ideal for precision lifting or delicate operations.

Explosion-Proof Hoists:

Designed for hazardous environments (e.g., chemical plants, oil refineries) with explosion-proof components and enclosures.

Low-Headroom Hoists:

Compact design for use in spaces with limited vertical clearance, such as under mezzanines or in confined workshops.

Applications of Running Electric Hoists:

Industrial Manufacturing: Lifting and moving heavy machinery, dies, or raw materials.

Warehousing and Logistics: Loading/unloading goods, moving pallets, or organizing inventory.

Construction Sites: Lifting building materials (e.g., steel beams, concrete blocks) to elevated heights.

Automotive Industry: Moving car bodies or engines during assembly or maintenance.

Shipbuilding and Port Operations: Handling cargo containers or large ship components.

Advantages of Running Electric Hoists:

Efficiency: Combines vertical and horizontal movement, reducing manual handling and improving workflow.

Safety: Automated controls and safety features minimize the risk of accidents.

Precision: Variable-speed models allow for controlled lifting and positioning.

Versatility: Can be adapted to various beam types and mounting configurations.

Cost-Effective: Reduces labor costs and improves productivity compared to manual lifting methods.

Considerations When Purchasing a Running Electric Hoist:

Lifting Capacity: Ensure the hoist can handle the maximum load you need to lift.

Travel Distance: Verify the trolley's horizontal travel range matches your workspace requirements.

Environmental Conditions: Choose a hoist with appropriate protection (e.g., dustproof, waterproof, explosion-proof) for your operating environment.

Power Supply: Ensure the hoist's voltage and phase match your facility's electrical system.

Maintenance: Opt for a model with easy access to components for routine inspection and servicing.
