Core features
1. Rated load: 10 tons - the maximum weight that can be safely lifted.
2. Lifting height: 18 meters - the core difference, which significantly affects the
following designs:
Increased drum size: larger length and diameter to accommodate
longer wire ropes (usually multiple layers are required).
Wire rope is longer and thicker: the length is at least 18 meters
(including the safety ring), and higher strength or larger diameter
wire ropes (such as 6 or 8 strands) may be used to withstand the
additional pressure and wear caused by multiple layers of winding.
Upgraded rope guide/rope guide: Especially critical! It must be
equipped with a high-performance and high-reliability automatic
rope guide (such as a heavy-duty spiral rope guide or a lever-type
forced rope guide) to ensure that the wire rope can still be
tightly and neatly arranged when multiple layers are wound, and
absolutely prevent rope disorder and jumping (the risk of rope
disorder at a height of 18 meters is much higher than that of 6
meters).
The lifting speed may be adjusted: Under the same motor power, the
full-load lifting speed may be slightly lower than the 6-meter
model (due to the larger drum and greater load inertia). Some
high-end models will maintain speed by increasing motor power or
optimizing the reduction ratio.
3. Enhanced European design features
Structural reinforcement:
The load-bearing structures such as the main beam, end beam, and
drum bracket need to be further reinforced to cope with the
additional load and torque brought by the larger drum and longer
wire rope.
The wheel pressure and wheelbase of the running trolley (if any)
may need to be redesigned to accommodate the extended hoist body.
Safety redundancy is upgraded again:
The dual braking system is still standard: mechanical brake (disc)
+ electromagnetic brake (conical rotor/disc), and the braking
torque needs to match the larger inertia.
Overload protection is more critical: It is strongly recommended to
be equipped with a high-precision electronic weighing device
(rather than a conventional mechanical type) as standard, which
displays the load in real time and provides a more reliable
overload cutoff.
Multiple limit protection:
High-precision upper and lower limit switches: At a height of 18
meters, the consequences of "top-rushing" or excessive lowering are
more serious, and the accuracy and reliability of the limit switch
are required to be higher (absolute encoders or multi-contact
switches are often used).
Anti-loose rope protection: Automatically cut off the power supply
when the wire rope is too loose to prevent the rope from getting
tangled and heavy objects from falling.
Wire rope status monitoring (optional): High-end models can be
equipped with an online wire rope monitoring system to detect
hidden dangers such as broken wires and wear.
4. High performance and long life enhancement:
Motor power improvement: Usually more powerful than the 6-meter
motor of the same tonnage (such as 13kW or 15kW instead of 11kW) to
overcome the larger drum inertia and maintain efficiency, and
better heat dissipation design is required.
Reducer enhancement: Use a larger specification or stronger
material hardened gearbox to transmit greater torque and ensure the
reliability of long-term high-lift operation.
Higher requirements for wire rope: Wire ropes with better
anti-rotation and anti-extrusion properties (such as 8-strand
compacted wire ropes) must be used to resist the internal stress
generated by multi-layer winding and extend the service life.
Usually galvanized grade.
Working level: Still mainly M5 (FEM 1Am), but the selection of key
components (bearings, wire ropes) needs to consider higher use
intensity.
Frequency conversion control is highly recommended (not standard
but extremely important):
Especially critical for 18-meter height! The smooth start and stop,
precise micro-speed (slow positioning) function brought by the
frequency converter can greatly reduce the long-distance swaying of
the load at high altitude, significantly improving operational
safety and positioning efficiency.
