  • Rope hoist with an emergency braking arrangement
    Patent number: 9567196
    Abstract: A cable hoist having an emergency braking arrangement comprising a dual toothed wheel assembly driven via a cable drum of the hoist. One of two toothed wheels of the toothed wheel assembly is sensed by a sensing lever of an anchor and an opposite end of the anchor interacts with a ratchet wheel of the toothed wheel assembly. As soon as an over speed occurs, the anchor engages in the ratchet wheel and causes a rotary movement of a carrier on which the anchor is mounted. This rotary motion is used to trigger a mechanical braking arrangement coupled to the cable drum.

  • Dual chain hoist arrangement
    Patent number: 8226137
    Abstract: A dual chain hoist having a lifting beam that can be telescopically extended and contracted, wherein load chains respectively extend to hook blocks suspended beneath the lifting beam in the vicinity of the ends of two telescoping sections that form the lifting beam. The distance between the telescoping sections can be varied with another chain. The chain for varying the length of the lifting beam extends over a chain wheel that is connected without rotational play to another chain wheel from which the load chain of the hook block of the respective telescoping lifting beam section.
