Screw Hoist | Screw Gate Hoist – Structure, Features & Applications

A screw hoist (screw gate hoist) is a manual or electric lifting device used to control sluice gates in water management systems. It operates through a lead screw mechanism, converting rotary motion into linear motion to raise or lower gates with high precision.

Structural Features:

  • Lead Screw Mechanism – Provides smooth and controlled gate movement.
  • Manual or Motorized Operation – Available in handwheel, electric, or hydraulic drive.
  • Compact & Durable Design – Resistant to corrosion, water exposure, and harsh environments.
  • High Load Capacity – Handles light to heavy-duty sluice gates.

Applications:

  • Dams & Reservoirs – Regulates water levels and flow.
  • Irrigation Systems – Controls water distribution for agriculture.
  • Water Treatment Plants – Manages intake and discharge.
  • Flood Control Projects – Prevents overflow and safeguards infrastructure.
