SH Wire Rope Hoist

The Tried And Tested All-Rounder

The SH wire rope hoist programme is used around the world in many different applications. Compact, strong, particularly maintenance-friendly and an ideal when it comes to combining quality, flexibility and performance.
The module system enables almost unlimited combinations of the components. Coming in five sizes with 26 S.W.L. variants, the SH series covers the safe working load range from 500 kg to 25,000 kg. The new SH 6080 wire rope hoist extends the versatile SH wire rope hoist range to safe working loads up to 32,000 kg. The wire rope hoists can be used in stationary applications or together with trolleys in standard cranes, off-standard cranes or systems building.

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.

Frequency-controlled SHF wire rope hoists work without lateral hook movement and with extremely little swinging of the load, making them ideal for sensitive loads such as jet engines.

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 SH 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 and automatically compensates for any unevenness of the cross travel runway.

KE monorail trolley

The KE monorail trolley is used on monorail runways and single girder overhead travelling cranes. The particularly low headroom of the trolley makes long hook paths possible even in low-ceilinged rooms.

Button
Slide title

UE monorail trolley

The overall width of the UE monorail trolley is minimal and especially designed for narrow clearances. It is used on monorail runways and single girder overhead travelling cranes.

Button
Slide title

DKE articulated trolley

The DKE articulated trolley is available for frequent travel around bends and narrow radii. Depending on radius of bend, runway flange width or application, it is equipped with one or two travel motors. The side guide rollers work with minimal wear. The DKE articulated trolley is designed for load capacities up to 10,000 kg.

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.
