Wire rope hoist
Wire rope hoist
Electric wire rope hoists from ABUS are the heart of our crane systems and the result of decades of continuous research and development at ABUS.
Our electric wire rope hoists are manufactured at the ABUS factory in Gummersbach using the most modern technology and continue to be a testament to the reliability and durability of our products.
All electric wire rope hoists share the same characteristics: maximum availability and the highest level of safety in material handling in all processes.
Type E – monorail hoist
Monorail hoist is a cost-effective option with compact design and suitable size. It can have a safe working load from 1 ton to 16 ton. It comes with 2 direct drive motors for cross travel and the cross travel trolley can be adjusted to suit various flange widths.
Type U – monorail hoist with twin trolleys
The U-type monorail hoist with double trolleys is ideal for high loads and long hook travel. Its safe working load ranges from 6.3 tons to 25 tons. It features a direct-drive motor without an exposed gear reducer for cross-carriage operation.
Using this hoist, cranes with high loads but shorter spans can be designed as single-girder cranes.
Type S – side-mounted hoist
The side mounted hoist with the hook located next to the crane beam allows for optimal maximum hook positioning. The Safe Working Load range is from 1 ton to 10 tonnes. The combination of optimal maximum hook positioning and the option to design a crane with a span of up to 35 metres or more in a single girder form results in significant cost savings when investing in a building.
Type D – standard crab unit
Compact twin track trolley for medium safe working load (SWL) applications up to 63 tonnes. A hinged end coupling ensures all four wheels are in stable contact with the track. The trolley is supplied with two direct drive motors for lateral movement.
Type DA - low headroom crab unit
Unlike the D-type, the cross beam supporting the hoist between the two trolleys is mounted with a hinged coupling, resulting in a minimum amount of hoist headroom. This option is ideal for areas where space above the crane is extremely limited. It is an alternative to the DQA type, which is also designed for low height.
Type DQA – ultra low headroom crab unit
Compact trolley series for safe working loads (SWL) up to 40 tonnes. Designed with an extra-low height, it features a transverse cable drum axle with a hinged joint at the end of the trolley to ensure stable contact of all four wheels with the rails, and comes with two direct drive motors for transverse movement.
Type Z – twin barrel crab unit
Compact twin-wheel trolley set for safe working loads up to 120 tons. It features a hinged joint at the end of the trolley to keep all four wheels in stable contact with the track and is equipped with two direct drive motors for lateral movement.
