AS 7 Wire Rope Hoist

The Compact Powerhouse

The AS 7 wire rope hoist programme is the innovative classic in hoisting and crane technology worldwide. The modular system enables innumerable combinations of the subassemblies for customised solutions.

The AS 7 series is designed in two variants for the upper lifting capacity range to 125,000 kg. The ASR 7 wire rope hoist is the reduced version of the tried-and-tested AS 7 wire rope hoist. It is designed for a safe working load range from 20,000 kg to 32,000 kg and closes the gap between efficient use of the SH wire rope hoist programme and the AS 7 wire rope hoist programme.

The revised design as twin hoist covers the same fields of application as the AS 7 wire rope hoist, albeit with higher lifting capacities, greater lifting heights and faster lifting movements. One important safety feature of the AS 7 wire rope hoist when designed as twin hoist is its exact positioning of the load. As the rope of the twin hoist runs in opposite directions simultaneously, the load is lifted and lowered without any sideways movement of the hook.

If wanted, the complete wire rope hoist programme is also available in explosion-proof design for Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 or Zone 22.

Two designs for load capacities up to 125,000 kg
Reduced-size ASR 7 for a safe working load range from 20,000 kg to 32,000 kg, with larger height of lift, standard with exact load measurement at the rope anchorage (entry-level model)
Innovative drive technology with cylindrical rotor motor with monodisc spring-loaded brake
Stationary version or double rail crab for systems and crane building, optionally available as underslung trolley or articulated trolley
Compact construction and low approach dimensions
Higher load capacity, hoisting speed and lifting height as twin hoist
Largely maintenance-free, low wear, long service life according to FEM/ISO standards
Optionally available in explosion-proof design according to ATEX, IECEx

In spite of its high lifting capacity, the AS 7 wire rope hoist with its double rail crab is surprisingly compact. The AS 7 is particularly suitable for high safe working loads to 80,000 kg or crane systems requiring a high ISO classification according to FEM/ISO standards

As twin hoist, the AS 7 ZW wire rope hoist enables a lifting capacity to 125,000 kg, higher lifting speeds and exact positioning without sideways movement of the hook.

The AS 7 wire rope hoist can also be operated as custom solution with a monorail trolley underneath the crane bridge.

The AS 7 wire rope hoist can be coupled to another type of wire rope hoist like, for example, an SH wire rope hoist for synchronous operation in tandem mode per radio remote control.

Models

The different models and trolley variants allow not only a wide variety of uses, but also very individualised solutions tailored to specific requirements.

Slide title

Stationary model

The AS 7 wire rope hoist can be used as stationary hoisting or towing equipment, for example in systems manufacture. Depending on the application, the rope lead-off angle, the attachment of the hoist and the mounting position of the hoist motor can be varied.

OE double rail crab

The OE double rail crab is intended for use on double girder overhead travelling cranes. The extremely compact construction makes very low approach and headroom dimensions possible and the available space can thus be used to the full. The double rail crab is available with various track gauges for the whole load capacity range.

Angle of installation

The AS 7 wire rope hoist can be mounted in various angle ranges. For rope drives with bottom hook block the wire rope hoist must always be installed with its longitudinal axis horizontal.

Single-grooved rope drum (Standard reeving)

The model with single-grooved rope drum is used for stationary hoisting or towing equipment or combined with various travel carriage variants.

Button
Slide title

Double-grooved rope drum (True vertical lift)

If true vertical lift is required, we recommend this model with double-grooved rope drum (right-/left-hand thread). This version can be used both in stationary form or with travel carriages.

Button
Slide title

Double-grooved rope drum (Reeving for multiple load pick-up points)

The model with double-grooved rope drum (right-/left-hand thread) is used for many lifting and towing tasks where the load must be picked up at more than one point and true vertical lift is required.

Slide title

Twin hoist (Reeving for true vertical lift)

Independent of the grooving of the rope drum, stable guiding of the hook and precise positioning of the load are guaranteed.

Options and features

Although they are already first-class in their standard design, you can make the hoists even safer, more economical and more convenient with a range of mechanical, electrical and electronic options. They simultaneously improve performance, prolong service life and make it possible to adapt the hoist individually to specific requirements.

Here are some of the options frequently used.
