The Next Generation Hoists

These ZX range of hoists are next-generation lifting solutions evolved over the years to fit rigorous production environments. These hoists have the brake mounted on the hoist gearbox. Therefore, this “braked gearbox arrangement” holds the load even if there is a motor shaft, motor connection, or motor coupling failure. This is contrary to how the brakes of the conventional hoists work and therefore ensure extra hoist brake safety.

The unique double band rope guide of the ZX hoists avoid the issues of slack rope failures. The rotating inner band clamps the rope to the drum, preventing the rope from pulling through. Overloading is one of the primary reasons for hoist failure and incidents. Importantly, ZX hoists have an additional protection mechanism called torque arm capacity restrictor to prevent overloading issues. The restrictor senses the total load passed by the hoist mechanism.

Notably, the detector saves the hoist from a load greater than the capacity but from an overload created by the impendence of hoist rotation.

Tailored To Your Needs

The ZX hoists are available in different designs and capacity to meet all your operational needs. While coming to single girders, the low headroom monorail hoists have a lifting capacity of up to 15 tonnes, and the low headroom twin trolley construction can hold up to 25 tonnes.

On the other hand, the double girders are available as single rope hoists and double rope hoists. While the single rope hoists can carry up to 32 tonnes, twin rope hoists can be the ideal choice for heavy lifting needs with a capacity of up to 80 tonnes. Importantly, all these hoists come with optional features such as micro-speeds, anti-sway control, load-dependent speed, and more.

As a leading supplier of electric hoists in Australia, we ensure that our customers get the finest range of hoisting solutions.

What is the main difference between a crane and a jib?

Cranes are a type of machines that are designed to lift, lower, or move loads with wire ropes, chains, or hoist ropes. Today, a vast range of crane types are available in different size and lifting capacity for industries and businesses. Cranes are broadly classified into mobile cranes and static cranes.

Jib cranes are a crane type that provides 180°–360° of rotation and lifts several tons of load according to the capacity. Compared to other crane types, jib cranes do not have a track system or runway and usually designed as stand-alone or wall-mounted. Therefore, these cranes are an excellent option to move loads within a smaller radius.

What is a jib on a crane?

In general, jibs are the secondary arms of a crane that extends from the primary arm called boom. Jibs are fitted to a crane to get extra reach and cover a larger radius. However, the inclusion of a jib can reduce the capacity of the crane to lift heavy loads. While many cranes include jib as a necessary component, the users can remove it and use the crane if the extra reach is unnecessary for the project operations.
