Hoists

The dimension that decides a hoist is headroom, and it is the one most often discovered too late. Headroom is the distance from the suspension point to the hook at its highest position, and it is what determines whether the required lift can actually be achieved under a given beam — a hoist with the right capacity and the wrong headroom simply cannot bring the load high enough. Give the beam height, the floor level and the highest point the hook must reach, and the rest follows. The second decision is duty. A manual chain block is right for occasional maintenance lifts and wrong for repeated production use; a powered hoist is classified by a duty group that reflects how often and how heavily it works, and a unit chosen a class too light wears out early in a way that looks like a quality problem. Then say how it travels — fixed suspension, push trolley, geared trolley or powered.
