Technical Description

Things

A complete modular suspended hoist system is a lifting system designed to handle and move heavy loads within industrial or warehouse spaces. This type of system is composed of suspended hoists mounted on guides and hoist cranes, allowing the lifting and transport of materials with a maximum capacity of 500 kg per hoist.

What is it for

The complete modular system of suspended hoists is used for:

• Lifting and Moving Loads: Allows you to lift and transport heavy loads within a work area, improving handling efficiency and safety.
• Materials Management: Facilitates the management and movement of materials and equipment in industrial environments, such as factories, warehouses and workshops.
• Replacement and Maintenance: Allows you to lift and move heavy components during maintenance or replacement operations on machinery and equipment.

How to use it

The use of the modular suspended hoist system involves the following steps:

1. Installation and Configuration:

   • Assembling the Guides and Hoist Cranes: Install the guides and hoist cranes in the desired layout within the work space. Make sure they are properly secured and aligned.
   • Positioning of the Hoists: Mount the hoists on the guides so that they can move freely along the slopes.

2. Load Preparation:

   • Capacity Check: Make sure the weight of the load does not exceed the nominal capacity of the hoist (500 kg).
   • Load Securing: Use lashing and lifting equipment correctly to secure the load to the hoist.

3. Lifting and Transport Operation:

   • Hoist Check: Check that the hoist and driving system are working properly before starting the operation.
   • Lifting the Load: Use the hoist controls to lift the load and move it along the rail. Monitor movement to ensure the load is held safely and without wobbling.

4. Load Removal and Placement:

   • Positioning: Once you have reached the desired position, carefully lower the load and remove it from the hoist.
   • Inspection: After use, inspect the system for any signs of wear or damage.

Materials used

The Konecranes suspended hoist system can be used with a variety of materials and loads, including:

• Metals: Steel, aluminium, cast iron.
• Industrial Components: Machinery, equipment, spare parts.
• Building Materials: Blocks, panels, structures.
• Different Loads: Objects of variable shapes and sizes, as long as the weight does not exceed 500 kg per hoist.

Types of Suspended Hoist Systems

There are different types of suspended hoist systems, each designed for specific needs and applications:

1. Manual Hoists: Operated manually via a system of pulleys or levers.
2. Electric Hoists: They use electric motors for automatic lifting and handling of loads.
3. Pneumatic Hoists: They work with compressed air and are suitable for environments where electricity is unsafe.
4. Chain Hoists: Use a chain to raise and lower loads and can be manual or motorized.
5. Rope Hoists: Use steel ropes to lift loads and are typically sturdier for heavy loads.

Maintenance of a Used Plant

To keep a used hoist system in good condition, follow these tips:

1. Lubrication and Cleaning:

   • Lubrication: Make sure all moving parts, such as guides and hoists, are well lubricated.
   • Cleaning: Regularly remove dust, dirt and material residues from the guides and hoists.

2. Inspection and Control:

   • Checking the Components: Periodically check the condition of the hoists, guides and hoist carriages for signs of wear or damage.
   • Inspection of Cables and Chains: Inspect cables or chains for wear or breakage and replace if necessary.

3. Functional Test:

   • Operational Tests: Conduct regular tests to ensure that all hoists and lifting systems are operating correctly and without problems.

4. Certifications and Safety:

   • Check Certifications: Make sure that the system complies with safety regulations and has the necessary certifications.
   • Checking Safety Systems: Verify that all safety devices, such as brakes and alarms, are operational.

Why it's better to buy used

Purchasing a used suspended hoist system can offer significant advantages:

1. Economic Savings: The cost of a used system is generally lower than a new one, significantly reducing the initial investment.
2. Reliability: If well maintained, a used system can offer reliable performance and long life, ensuring good value for money.
3. Immediate Availability: Used implants are often available for immediate purchase, avoiding the long waiting times for acquiring a new implant.
4. Resale Value: Used equipment can retain a good resale value, allowing you to recoup some of your investment in the event of future resale.

In summary, the complete Konecranes modular suspended hoist system is an efficient solution for moving heavy loads in industrial environments. Purchasing a used model can be a cost-effective option if the system is well maintained and inspected, providing an excellent opportunity to improve lifting and carrying operations at a lower cost.
