The application of the hoist in the project: whether it can be used as a crane
2025-01-16

First, the definition and composition of the gourd

Hoist is a kind of vertical lifting cargo machinery, which is composed of rollers, chains, hooks, handles, gears and fuselage. Usually, we usually use manual hoists, electric hoists or pneumatic hoists and other types of hoists, which can be used for lifting and handling small or medium-sized goods in warehouses or work sites.

Second, the use of the gourd

In construction engineering, hoist is a common lifting tool, users can use it to lift heavy steel bars, concrete slabs, cement bags, construction equipment, steel pipes, wood and other items, and can be used to load trucks or vans.

Third, can the hoist replace the crane?

Although hoists can be used to lift goods vertically in construction projects, it is not recommended to use hoists as formal cranes for the following reasons:

1. Insufficient carrying capacity

Because the hoist was not designed to be used as a crane, its carrying capacity is small. In contrast, the crane has a greater carrying capacity and can handle heavier objects. Therefore, the hoist can not replace the crane in the project.

2. It has not passed relevant safety checks

Regular cranes need to be inspected and maintained by professional safety agencies to ensure their safety. The hoist has not received the necessary safety inspection in this respect, so there is a certain safety risk in using the hoist instead of the crane.

Fourth, other applications of gourds

Although hoists cannot replace cranes, hoists have many other applications in engineering. For example, it can be used for the lifting and handling of small items in narrow Spaces on construction sites. In addition, it can also be used for cargo handling operations in other occasions such as factory production lines.

To sum up, although the hoist cannot replace the regular crane, the hoist still has many practical applications in the project. Be sure to pay attention to safety when using the hoist, it is recommended to use a regular crane to handle heavy goods.
