Four Core Considerations for Construction Hoist Selection

Five Core Considerations for Construction Hoist Selection

Professional Guide to Ensuring Safety and Efficiency

In high-rise construction and bridge engineering, proper construction hoist selection directly impacts project safety, cost control, and operational efficiency. Drawing from our decade-long expertise in tower cranes and hoist systems, we present these critical selection criteria:

1. Precise Project Requirements Matching

1. Load & Transport Capacity Analysis

• Calculate daily transport volume and maximum single load (recommend 10%-15% redundancy)

• Address special scenarios like curved curtain wall installation in super-tall buildings

1. Vertical Transport Layout

• Residential projects: Install dual-cage hoist per 500㎡/18 floors

• Complex projects: Implement multi-hoist coordination systems

2. Regulatory Compliance Verification

1. Certification System

• Validate Special Equipment Manufacturing License and product qualification certificates

  Verify type test reports for safety-critical components (limiters, fall arrestors)

1. Safety Standards

• Mandatory torque limiters (auto-shutdown at 110% overload)

• Dual-cage systems require independent braking mechanisms

3. Safety Protection Configuration

1. Three-Tier Protection

• Base protection: 5m×5m anti-fall canopy for high-altitude sites

• Operational safety: ≤50mm landing platform alignment error

• Emergency backup: Dual power-cut locking & manual descent systems

1. Smart Monitoring

• 5G IoT modules for real-time parameter tracking

• AI vibration anomaly detection systems (reference Zoomlion's latest tech)

4. Installation Environment Adaptation

1. Geotechnical Evaluation

• Base bearing capacity ≥150kPa (soft soil areas require cushion reinforcement)

• Wall attachment spacing ≤9m per specifications

1. Special Scenario Solutions

• Modular wall attachments for irregular structures

• Shaft-embedded hoists for confined spaces
