A running manual hoist is a mechanical device that achieves vertical lifting and horizontal movement of heavy objects through manual operation. It combines the lifting function and flexible movement characteristics of a manual hoist and is suitable for scenarios without power or requiring flexible operations. The following are its core features and working principles:

Core Features

Human driven

Without the need for electricity or pneumatic power, the internal gear system can be driven by shaking the handle, pulling the chain, or operating the lever to lift or lower heavy objects. For example, a manual chain hoist completes the lifting of heavy objects by alternately pulling the chain to rotate the gear set and winding the steel wire rope or chain.

Mobile flexibility

Mobile body: Some models are designed to move along tracks or the ground, achieving horizontal displacement through manual pushing or pulling, suitable for scenarios such as warehouses and workshops that require frequent adjustment of work positions.

Lightweight design: Small in size and light in weight, easy to carry and install. For example, a small manual hoist can be carried to the work site and quickly hung on an I-beam or triangular bracket.

Simple and reliable structure

Composed of core components such as gear sets, chains/wire ropes, hooks, and braking devices, it has no complex electrical systems, low failure rates, and low maintenance costs. Braking devices (such as ratchet brakes) ensure that heavy objects remain stable during lifting or lowering, preventing accidental falls.

safety protection

Overload protection: Some models are equipped with safety brakes that automatically lock when the load exceeds the rated value, avoiding equipment damage or accidents.

Anti decoupling design: The hook adopts a locking structure to prevent heavy objects from slipping off.

Operating standards: Safety guidelines such as "Do not lift when overloaded, do not lift when signal is unclear, and do not lift when bundling is not secure" must be followed to ensure safe operation.

working principle

improvement process

The operator applies force through the handle or chain to drive the internal gear set to rotate, and the gear set winds the steel wire rope or chain, causing the heavy object to rise vertically. The gear ratio design can amplify manpower and achieve easy lifting of heavy objects (such as a 1-ton manual hoist that can lift a 1-ton load by manpower).

descent process

By controlling the braking device (such as releasing the brake lever), the heavy object slowly descends under the action of gravity, and the operator needs to continuously control the descent speed to avoid impact.

horizontal movement

If the equipment is designed to be movable, it can be manually pushed to slide along the track or adjusted in position by traction devices (such as ropes) to achieve horizontal transfer of heavy objects.

Application scenarios

No power environment

In scenarios such as field work, temporary construction sites, and power maintenance, manual hoists do not rely on power sources and can be quickly deployed.

Lightweight lifting

Suitable for lifting equipment, materials or tools with small weight (usually ≤ 10 tons), such as engine maintenance, warehouse cargo loading and unloading, construction site material lifting, etc.

Emergency Rescue

In the event of equipment failure or accident, manual hoists can be used as emergency tools to assist rescue personnel in moving heavy objects or rescuing trapped individuals.

Precision operation

Some manual hoists are equipped with fine-tuning functions, which can achieve precise positioning of heavy objects through fine operation, suitable for scenarios that require high-precision lifting (such as laboratory equipment installation).

Advantages and limitations

Advantages: Low cost, simple maintenance, flexible mobility, safe and reliable, suitable for low-power or lightweight job requirements.

Limitations: Limited weight lifting (usually ≤ 10 tons), lower efficiency of manual operation compared to electric hoists, and easy fatigue during long-term operation.
