Components and Functions of Construction Hoists
1. Base Foundation
The base foundation serves as the fundamental structure of the hoist. Its primary function is to support the entire weight of the hoist and transfer the load to the ground, ensuring the stability and safety of the hoist.
2. Tower
The tower is primarily composed of a tower body, support rods, and connecting components. Its role is to support and fix the weight of the hoist, allowing it to operate vertically. The tower is also the main supporting structure of the hoist, responsible for transmitting the weight and various dynamic loads of the hoist.
3. Drive System
The drive system consists mainly of electric motors, reducers, chains, crankshafts, pulleys, lifting platforms, etc. Its function is to provide power, enabling the lifting platform to operate vertically in a stable manner and carry loads. In practical applications, it can also perform horizontal movements as needed.
4. Control System
The control system includes electrical control boxes, limit switches, safety devices, etc. Its function is to provide safety protection for the hoist, control stopping and traveling according to user needs, and ensure that the hoist operates safely and stably during use.
In summary, the components of a construction hoist include a base foundation, tower, drive system, and control system. These components have unique functions and work together to ensure that the hoist can operate safely and stably in a vertical direction, carry loads, and assist in the construction process.
