ABUS cranes and hoists are chosen for German production standards, reliable performance under demanding conditions, flexible configuration, and safety features built into the hoist design, such as a fail-safe DC disc brake with manual release and a compact layout with the motor beneath the drum.
Design Features of the ABUS Hoist
| Feature | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Motor positioned under the drum | Very small distance between the wall and the hook, so ABUS hoists can reach more of the working area than other hoists, and the motor and gearbox are easy to install and maintain |
| Class F motor windings | Motor insulation rated to the Class F standard |
| IP55 motor enclosure | Motor housing protected against dust and moisture to IP55 |
| DC disc brake | The brake engages when the power fails or there is no current |
| Manual release brake | In an emergency during a power failure, the load can be lowered manually |
| Overload protection | Helps prevent accidents caused by lifting beyond rated capacity |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the wall-to-hook distance matter?
The smaller this distance, the closer the hook can reach to walls and the edges of the working area, so more of the floor can be served by the crane.
What happens to the load if the power fails?
The DC disc brake engages automatically when there is no power. If the load must be lowered during a power failure, the manual release brake allows this in an emergency.
