Same Load, Different Hoist Lifespan — Why?
Many factories experience the same situation:
The lifting load is identical, never exceeds the rated capacity, yet hoists fail at different times.
The cause is not luck — and not necessarily product quality alone.
It is the actual operating conditions.
Engineers evaluate factors such as:
Lifting frequency per day
Number of Start/Stop cycles
Sudden load shocks or jerking
Continuous operating time (Duty Cycle)
A facility that lifts heavy loads occasionally
requires a different specification than one that lifts moderate loads continuously throughout the day.
Selecting a hoist should not be based only on rated capacity.
It must match the real working conditions.
Choosing the right specification helps extend equipment lifespan, reduce maintenance costs, and improve long-term operational efficiency.
