Wire rope hoists
ABUS electric wire rope hoists are the core element of the crane systems. They are the result of many decades of research and development by ABUS. The wire rope hoists are produced at the ABUS production plants at Gummersbach using the most advanced technology available and continue to bear witness to the reliability, and durability of these products. The SWL range of ABUS electric wire rope hoists extends from 1 t to 120 t. Our customers can choose from a wide range of models depending on application and requirements – starting with the standard wire rope hoist in the lower SWL range up to special crab unit designs incorporating additional features at the higher SWL range. However, all wire rope hoists have these characteristics in common: highest levels of uptime availability and safety within materials handling operations.
Monorail hoist Tpye E
- SWL range 1 t - 16 t
- Compact design, therefore favourable dimensions
- Two direct drive cross travel motors
- Cross travel trolley adjustable to suit various flange widths
- Is the most frequently ordered hoist of ABUS in the lower Safe Working Load range
- Tend to be the most economic choice for many standard applications of material flow
Monorail hoist with twin trolleys tpye U
- SWL range 6.3 t - 25 t
- Cross travel trolley with direct drive
- No exposed reduction gearing
- Load is distributed over 8 wheels
- Used for high load capacities and long hook paths
- Ordinary rolled section beams can be used for monorail track applications
- Cranes with higher load capacities yet smaller spans can be designed as single-girder cranes like this
Standard crab unit type D
- SWL range 1 - 63 t
- Compact standard crab unit for the medium SWL applications
- Articulated end carriage joints
- Ensure positive contact of all four wheels with the track
- Hoist trolley features two direct drive cross travel motors
- Maintenance platform as an option with walkable platforms being an option also
- Some D type hoists can be used for so-called treu vertical lift applications
- No hook wander or rotation with true vertical lift units
- Stooled-down version (type DA) available upon request if clearance above is restricted
Side-mounted hoist type S
- SWL range 1 t - 10 t
- Hook positioned beside the crane girder
- Optimised highest hook position
- Allows building heights to be reduced
- Results in a lower cost volume
Ultra low headroom crab unit tpye DQA
- SWL range 1 t - 40 t
- Ultra low headroom design
- Articulated end carriage joints
- Ensure positive contact of all four wheels with the track
- Two direct drive cross travel motors
- Ideal if there is very little clearance above
- The rope drum axis is aligned in the direction of cross travel
Twin barrel crab unit type Z
- SWL range 8 t - 120 t
- Standard wire rope hoist for heavy duty transport applications
- Compact design
- Articulated end carriage joints
- Ensure positive contact of all four wheels with the track
- Hoist trolley features two direct drive cross travel motors
- Epicyclic or flat geared motors depending on the diameter of the wheels
- Optional: maintenance platforms (walkable platforms being an option also)
- Should the available clearance above the crab unit be restricted,
- Stooled-down version available upon request with restricted available clearance above (ultra-low headroom)
Low headroom crab unit type DA
- SWL range 1 t - 40 t
- Minimum overall headroom dimensions
- May be used where very little space is available above the crane
- In contrast to type D, the supporting member with the hoist between the end carriages is equipped with articulated joints
- Hoist headroom reduced to a minimum - option to use where very little space is available above the crane, as an alternative to type DQA, also a low headroom option
