Wire rope hoist
From wikiMHEDA
A wire rope hoist is a hoist that utilizes wire rope as the lifting medium. It is often powered electrically or pneumatically. This lifting device is made up of a rope storage drum, motor(s), gear box and braking system, and is suspended from a monorail or bridge beam(s) by means of a trolley. It may also be stationary mounted. Manual wire rope hoists are generally referred to as "pullers" and operate utilizing a ratchet and pawl tensioning technology.[1]
