Industrial Electric Wire Rope Hoist for Heavy-Duty Lifting
An electric wire rope hoist is the backbone of modern industrial lifting. Designed for high-frequency use in factories, warehouses, and steel mills, these hoists offer superior lifting speed and height compared to chain alternatives.
At GT Winch, our wire rope hoists are engineered for smooth operation and long-lasting performance. Whether you need a standard model or a customized lifting solution, our equipment ensures maximum productivity and operator safety.
Key Advantages of Our Wire Rope Hoists
Why is the GT electric wire rope hoist the preferred choice for industrial experts?
-
High Lifting Speed: Optimized gear ratios allow for faster vertical movement of heavy loads.
-
Large Capacity Range: We offer standard models from 1 ton up to 50 tons.
-
Compact Design: The integrated motor, drum, and gearbox save valuable overhead space.
-
Heat Dissipation: The motor housing is designed for efficient cooling, allowing for a high duty cycle (M3-M5).
Core Components & Safety Features
-
Rope Guide: Ensures the wire rope is wound neatly onto the drum, preventing overlapping and tangling.
-
Limit Switch: Automatically cuts power when the hook reaches the top or bottom position to prevent equipment damage.
-
Overload Protector: A sensitive electronic sensor that stops lifting if the load exceeds the rated capacity.
-
Forged Hook: High-strength steel hook with 360-degree rotation and a safety latch.

Single Speed vs. Double Speed
We provide two motor configurations to suit your operational needs:
-
Single Speed (CD1): Ideal for general lifting where constant speed is sufficient.
-
Double Speed (MD1): Features a main motor and a slow-speed auxiliary motor, perfect for precision tasks like mold installation or assembly.

FAQ: Electric Wire Rope Hoist
Q1: What is the maximum lifting height available? Our standard electric wire rope hoist supports heights up to 30 meters. However, we can customize the drum capacity to reach 100 meters or more for special projects.
Q2: What is the difference between CD1 and MD1 models? The CD1 is a single-speed hoist, while the MD1 is a double-speed hoist. The MD1 allows for a “creep speed” (usually 1/10th of the normal speed) for very precise positioning of loads.
Q3: Does the hoist come with an electric trolley? Yes. You can choose a stationary type (fixed in one spot) or a traveling type (equipped with an electric trolley for movement along an I-beam).
Q4: How do I maintain the wire rope? Regularly inspect for broken strands or kinks. Apply specialized wire rope lubricant every 1-3 months depending on usage frequency to reduce friction and rust.
