Wire rope electric hoists are lifting devices that use a wire rope as their lifting medium. They are commonly used in industrial and construction settings for lifting heavy loads. The wire rope is wrapped around a drum that is powered by an electric motor. As the drum turns, it winds or unwinds the wire rope to lift or lower the load. Wire rope electric hoists typically have a higher lifting capacity than chain hoists and are suitable for heavier loads. They also offer better durability, longer service life, and can be used for vertical or horizontal lifting.
