Hoisting challenges

Proximity to working personnel.

Customer applies strict safety standards for warehouse cranes operating close to working personnel.

Heavy duty.

Steel warehousing demands reliable hoists with high uptime.

Limited headroom.

Does your hoist present similar challenges?
You are one retrofit away from operating a fail-safe hoist.

The MotoSuiveur Solution

The following MotoSuiveur Solution was selected and configured for integration to the hoist:

MotoSuiveur Solution
Simplified design. A load-bearing MotoSuiveur Unit, along wth guaranteeing the high safety level, advantageously removes the plummer block from the hoist layout.
Low headroom. The hoist is placed as close as possible to the roof, with a low drum axis.

Benefits of the MotoSuiveur-Secured hoist

Fail-safe hoist.

Maximum level of safety for close-working personnel.
If the MotoSuiveur-Secured hoist undergoes any fault condition that puts the load into free-fall (such as a mechanical rupture, power failure, control failure, etc), the MotoSuiveur Unit instantly self-locks and absorbs the kinetic energy to safely arrest the load within 20 mm of load descent.

Moreover, overspeed is prevented, it cannot occur.

Easy maintenance, Testability & Extended hoist life

  • Mechanical protection from hoist overloads with MS torque limiter. All hoist components see their lifecycle extended.
  • Full safety tests with proof loads can be run easily without presenting any risk for the personnel or the installation.
  • MotoSuiveur Unit is hermetically sealed and has no wear parts. Maintenance needs are reduced and are not safety-critical.

Compact fit

Make the best use of a restricted space for hoist layouts with the uniquely compact design opportunities allowed by MotoSuiveur Units.
