How much does a 10 ton wire rope electric hoist weigh

Speaking of electric hoists, I believe everyone is familiar with them. They are used in industrial production and construction sites. It is driven by an electric motor and uses wire ropes to lift and suspend objects. So, what is the weight of a 10-ton wire rope electric hoist?

Let’s first understand the basic structure and working principle of the wire rope electric hoist. The electric hoist is composed of multiple parts such as motor, reducer, drum, wire rope, and controller. The electric motor transmits power to the drum through a transmission device, and the wire rope on the drum is connected to the suspended object through a pulley system. When the motor is started, the wire rope will be wound on the drum to lift and suspend objects.

For a 10-ton electric hoist, the dead weight refers to the weight of the hoist itself, excluding the weight of suspended objects. Generally speaking, the self-weight of an electric hoist is directly proportional to its lifting capacity. This means that the greater the lifting capacity, the greater the weight will be. According to the design and manufacturing standards of the common 10-ton wire rope electric hoist on the market, its dead weight is generally between 200-300 kilograms. The weight of the electric hoist is mainly determined by its structure and materials. It is usually made of strong and durable steel, which results in a relatively large weight of the hoist.

When users choose an electric hoist, they need to choose the appropriate model and specifications based on specific needs and working environment to meet different lifting needs.
