About frame hoist

The frame hoists are lifting devices. They are used to lift and transport heavy objects, such as machinery components, cargo, car engines, etc.

The main components of frame hoists

Frame: The frame is the main structure of the hoist, usually made of steel or other strong materials. It provides support and stability for the frame hoist and holds the other components together. Lifting Arm: The lifting arm, also known as a boom or jib, is attached to the frame and extends outward. It is responsible for lifting and lowering the load. The lifting arm can be adjustable or fixed, depending on the specific design of the hoist.

Hydraulic System: Many frame hoists use a hydraulic system to provide the power for lifting. The hydraulic system consists of a hydraulic pump, cylinders, valves, and hoses. When the pump is activated, hydraulic fluid is pressurized and sent to the cylinders, causing them to extend or retract, thus lifting or lowering the load. Controls: Frame hoists are equipped with controls that allow the operator to operate the hoist safely and efficiently. The controls can include buttons, levers, or a remote-control system, depending on the design of the frame hoists. Base or Mounting: The frame hoist is typically mounted on a base or a mounting structure to provide stability during operation. The base can be fixed or mobile, depending on the specific application requirements.

The types of frame hoists

Tower frame hoist: A tower crane has a tall tower and high lifting capacity. It is commonly used in construction sites and large-scale engineering projects, providing vertical lifting capabilities. Mobile frame hoist: A mobile crane has a movable chassis or wheels, allowing for quick transportation between job sites or different locations. This type of frame hoist is often used for tasks that require frequent mobility, such as road maintenance or temporary construction projects. Truck frame hoist: A truck crane is a crane mounted on a truck chassis, allowing for fast deployment and lifting operations. The frame hoists offer high maneuverability and flexibility, commonly used in construction sites, logistics, and transportation industries.

A-frame gantry hoist: The gantry crane is a type of crane with a gantry structure. It is suitable for tasks that require lifting over a large distance. The frame hoists are often used in ports, docks, and bridge construction. Jib frame hoist: A jib crane is a crane with a jib structure that can extend to a far distance. The frame hoists are commonly used for lifting tasks in restricted spaces, such as indoor factories or assembly lines. In addition, there are other frame hoists available, such as portable A-frame hoists, A-frame chain hoists, A-frame rolling hoists, small A-frame hoists, etc., each with its specific applications and advantages.
