Single Girder Wire Rope Hoist

A single girder wire rope hoist is a type of material handling equipment used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and logistics. It is designed to lift and move heavy loads vertically and horizontally.

The single girder wire rope hoist consists of a single girder mounted on top of the building structure or on a freestanding framework. A trolley with a hoisting mechanism travels along the girder, and the load is suspended from the hoist by a wire rope.

The hoisting mechanism is typically an electric motor-driven drum, around which the wire rope is wound. The motor can lift and lower the load, and the trolley can move the load horizontally along the girder. The hoist can also be equipped with additional features such as a variable speed control, overload protection, and anti-sway technology.

Single girder wire rope hoists are used in applications where heavy loads need to be lifted and moved over a short to medium distance. They are commonly used in industries such as warehousing, construction, and transportation, where heavy equipment and materials need to be lifted and moved within a specific area or building.

Compared to double girder wire rope hoists, single girder hoists are typically more economical and take up less vertical space. However, they may have a lower load capacity and less flexibility in terms of the range of motion.
