Homemade hand hoist is a good replacement for industrial designs, because it is no less effective. So it is worth getting such an assistant in the household, and we will help to do this and talk about this device.

How is a manual hoist arranged?

Under the hoist means a suspended lifting device. It can be with a manual or with an electric drive, more often found, of course, the second option. Tal, in general, is a special mechanism for lifting or lowering various loads, as well as for moving them. The carrying capacity can be up to 10 tons, and objects can be raised to a height of up to 12 m - agree, not bad for a mechanism with a manual drive.

Based on these indicators, this device can be used to move various goods of large weight, it can be household appliances - gas stoves or refrigerators, freezers or washing machines and the like. Often, trade workers use them to lay goods on shelves. Hand hoists cannot be dispensed with during construction or repair work, where construction materials or tools often have to be lifted.

The usual manual chain hoist has the following main elements: chain pulley block consisting of movable and fixed blocks connected to each other; two-stage cylindrical coaxial gearbox, which has a manual mechanical drive; output shaft; specialized disc brake; additional load braking system; block pendant with a hook. The principle of operation is based on traction and load chain systems that have round links. The main types of manual hoists: gear and lever.

Gear manual hoists - is popularity justifiable?

The main advantage of this type of hoists is the simplicity of design and reliability. They can not do without in many sectors: neither in the construction, nor in the mining industry, nor in agriculture, nor in fuel and energy enterprises and others. Such a device can be used not only indoors, but also outdoors, even if there are no power sources. Moreover, such hoists are not only safe to use, but also unpretentious in use and feature a durable mechanism.

The gear type of hoists is adapted to work with large loads weighing from 0.5 to 10 tons, and they can be lifted freely up to a height of 12 m.  A special load chain with a hook is designed for such a load, and the available additional drive chain will provide not only good movement, but also easy movement of goods. It is necessary to control the operation of such a hoist while standing on the ground. The action begins with a drive chain, this device is a stationary mechanism, and its purpose is to raise or lower loads from shelves that are high.

To move cargo with hoist, monorails are installed in the premises. Such stationary devices are usually used when it is not necessary to constantly move and lift weights. They are not intended for a large amount of work, and the speed of movement is very low, this must be taken into account when choosing this tool. But at the same time, if you need to raise a fragile product or item, then these are the most successful hoists. Now we need to talk about a competitive model.

Lever hoist - profitable payload physics

This type of hoist is necessary for working with small loads, the weight of which is not more than 5 tons, and you can raise it to a height equal to the height of a person. It all depends on the design solution. Raising, lowering and moving is carried out using a lever mounted in the housing. The operator located near the device controls the hoist. Such models are good for cable tensions and lifting loads. Since they are not suitable for a large amount of work, utilities find application to them.

They are necessary when you need to pull the cables or install pipes at the bottom of the trenches, as well as for installing hatches. With their help, foresters pull out stumps, and industrialists place heavy equipment in workshops. Often their purpose is to lift the load in order to work with him, like that. It can be various repair work, for example, in auto repair shops. To facilitate the work with lever hoists, they are additionally equipped with special trolleys.

Worm hoists - compact strongman

In addition to these main types of manual hoists, there are also others. Recently, they often use worm hoists. For work, they are suspended stationary or use a mobile "cat". This is convenient for moving loads horizontally, such hoists can move along I-beams. There are a lot of models of this type of devices. They are used to lift or hold loads in a raised position, they are also suitable for moving. Everything happens on a special suspension rail from an I-profile.

Their advantage is that the work can be carried out in rooms that are small in area, and the distance between the beams and the loads can be small. You can also use such hoists in the open air.

They have some features, for example, a rotatable casing (and the design can be rotated 360 degrees) allows you to control work from any place, that is, you can raise and lower the load in any position. This creates additional safety; during operation, the operator can be on the side of the hoists and also on the load itself. Also, this type of hoist differs in reliability, wear resistance and a slightly heating brake. All this makes them quiet and comfortable. And thanks to the low construction height, it is possible to work with this equipment in limited spaces in vertical positions.

Homemade hand hoist - a free farm assistant

Often you have to carry out repairs at home, and you need to lift tools, materials. If you buy a manual hoist, it is expensive, and often once. In this case, you can do it yourself.

Tal is a device for lifting and lowering cargo. In addition, such a mechanism can hold the load in a suspended position. The hoists can be either manual or electric. With an electric drive, the electric motor is responsible for the movement of the cables. Manual hoist uses a chain mechanism. Such a device may be gear or lever. In this article I will talk about the principles of action of manual hoists.

The most successful solution for lifting the load and working with it at a height is the manual gear hoist. This mechanism is designed to raise and lower loads of various configurations. As the name of this device implies, the mechanism is driven manually. At the same time, an energy source is not needed. A person who does not have great strength can work with manual chain hoist.

The principle of operation of the chain hoist is not very complicated. This mechanism can be used as a stand-alone hoist or as part of a crane-beam structure. The hoist can be mobile, lever or stationary.

To work with stationary hoist, the operator must be directly next to the load. Thanks to the rotary casing, the load can not only be raised and lowered, but also deployed for more convenient work with it.

The movable chain hoist is attached to the I-beam profile, along which, using the carriage included in the hoist, weights can be moved in two directions: vertical and horizontal. This hoist, which is mounted on a carriage, is called a hoist.

How does the chain hoist work?
The chain hoist consists of two blocks and a chain thrown between them. There is a chain sprocket on the bottom block, and two sprockets of different diameter on the top block. It is because of the difference in the diameters of the sprockets that a more efficient lifting of the load occurs.

In addition, one should not forget about the increase in efficiency of the hoist due to the block system.

Chain hoist advantage:
  Compactness;
  Light weight;
  Ease of use;
  Lack of energy consumption;
  Durability;
  Relatively low cost.

You can find out about chain hoists on the site stropu71.ru.

Here you can also purchase cable slings and other hoisting mechanisms and accessories. Partner StroyService has been supplying lifting and surveying equipment for about ten years. In addition, the services of this company include the design and manufacture of slings and ropes of any size and type.

The mechanisms of movement of hoists, the carrying capacity of which is 1, 2 and 3 tons, include elements such as drive and idle trolley, traverse. By means of the last element, the lifting mechanism is fixed and connected to the displacement unit.

Trolleys for hoists are attached to the traverse with the help of vertical articulated pins. This design provides the angle of the trolley in 15-18 degrees.

Thanks to the hinged design (guide rollers are provided on the vertical axes), the hoist with the movement mechanism freely passes along the tracks with a minimum radius of curvature.

Due to the low positioned electric motor, the electric hoist movement mechanism without difficulty overcomes turnouts of small sizes.

The monorail electric hoist movement mechanism is offered in normal and reduced dimensions.

The movement mechanisms of normal-sized hoists are equipped with one common sidewall on each side. An engine is mounted on one side through a flange. The connection of the motor shaft with the primary gear is realized through the use of a reduction attachment.

A hoist with a reduced movement mechanism is characterized by a different type of construction. Instead of two, there are 4 sidewalls here (two driven and two leading).

On devices with low lifting capacity and low lifting height, only 1 trolley is provided. The trolley is fixed to the housing rigidly using a frame.

For hoists equipped with a pair of trolleys, 2 types of fastening are provided - rigid (frame) and articulated (special bolt).

Variations of the fastening mechanisms for the movement of electric hoists

The design of the lifting mechanism is adapted to fix the node to move the load along the horizontal plane. Such mechanisms are developed for monorail or double-rail. The latches can be of the following types:

• Rigid (hinged) - for the movement mechanism of a normal size. Polyspast 2/1 and 4/1. Figure 4A shows an electric hoist with one trolley.

• Hinged (Fig. 4B I) - the lifting device is not rigidly fixed near the axis and running wheels.

• Swinging or half-hinged - the lifting mechanism swings. In fig. 4B shows an electric hoist with two trolleys.

• Non-articulated 2/1 and 4/1. Designed for hoists with reduced dimensions of the movement mechanism. The lifting unit is attached to the side of the rail. This design saves usable space.

• Lifting mechanism with a knot of movement along a two-rail track. Fig 6.

Figure 4 shows a diagram of the movement mechanism, which includes an electric motor (2), a gearbox (3), a drive unit (4), and a driven unit (5).

A mobile and simpler, stationary crane beam in the garage with your own hands is quite feasible if you have a welding machine and two days of free time. For a professional auto repair shop, it’s easier to buy ready-made lifting equipment.

If the need for a crane is rare, then it is cheaper to make a simple and reliable elevator yourself. Such a homemade crane can easily lift weight up to 800 kg, and this is enough for repair work in the garage.

In order to make a frame for a small beam crane in a standard garage with your own hands, you will need the following materials:

• i-beam (4 - 4.5 meters) - the required footage depends on the height of the garage;
• pipe (diameter 10-12 cm), length 2.4 meters - 2 pieces;
• one square pipe (10x10 cm);
• corners (10x10);
• manual hoist and hoist;
• bolts (M16) with nuts.

If you plan to build a mobile crane, then you need four more rollers and a hoist.

The procedure for the manufacture of a crane frame with your own hands:

• we weld the legs of the crane - you need to weld the corners from two sides to the I-pipe;
• the location of the corner is at an angle of 45 degrees. We get a kind of stiffening ribs that will firmly fix the rack, which accounts for the bulk of the cargo carried by the crane;
• we weld two triangles, spacers on each crane stand.

• if the crane is a movable beam, then from two sides from below, on each rack on the horizontal it is necessary to weld on a roller - ordinary rollers for metal containers are suitable, furniture will not support the weight;
• on top, as a crossbar, we fix the pipe along which the lifting mechanism will move;
• in the center of the pipe we weld an I-beam for fixing the roller, along which the steel cable of the crane lifting mechanism will move.

• on top of the I-beam, we weld a piece of a square pipe (to stiffen the frame) - 40 cm. The pipe should protrude on both sides by at least 20 cm. It turns out that the side stand is located in the middle of the crossbar stiffness pipe;
• in the square tube we insert the transverse tube of the crossbar of the frame;
• we drill through holes for bolts of fastenings on both sides of the square holder and in the crossbar pipe itself - you need a rigid reliable fixation on both sides of the vertical rack.

It turns out a U-shaped design of the frame of the crane, which is installed on the hard legs of the spacers, and on the top the crossbar is rigidly bolted.

Installation of lifting gear - manual or automatic

For mechanical lifting of loads on the frame, you need to install a manual hoist - a worm winch and a cable. How to fix the hoist on the frame:

• on the side of the rack we install a manual worm winch (carrying capacity 800 kg, no less);
• steel cable moves on casters.

Such a mechanism makes it easy to raise the engine or car by the hood on one side.

You can take as a drive a lifting mechanism and rollers from the elevator door. There the rollers are reliable and durable.

An electric drive of the lift can also be installed on the manufactured base. The 300 - 500 W engine will be enough for simple repair work in the garage.

Such cranes are often used for repair and reconstruction of old wooden houses. The construction of a chopped house will go faster if the logs are laid using a mobile home-made crane. In this case, the width of the frame is along the length of the logs of the log house.

And you can make a simpler lift for the engine, on one support, see the video.

The hanging hoist in the garage is used as a lifting device. The equipment helps to move heavy objects and more convenient to carry out car repairs. Armed with the necessary components, it is possible to assemble the hoist with your own hands.

The hoisting hoist, which is also called the hoist, can be manual or electric for automated use. According to the technical characteristics, the equipment is a mechanism for lifting and moving various loads, including auto parts.

It is possible to place a movable trolley in any room, regardless of free space and ceiling height. Depending on the type of construction, the carrying capacity can reach 10 tons. Standard hoist capable of lifting loads up to 12 m. The design consists of the following elements:

• chain pulley consisting of several blocks interconnected;
• coaxial coaxial gear;
• disc braking system;
• output shaft;
• pendant with a hook.

Where is used

A lifting device is used to move loads with various dimensions and weights. It can be household appliances, metal structures and car parts. In production facilities, equipment is used to lift loads and stack on the upper shelves.

Manual hoist is widely used during repair and construction works, when there is a need to lift tools and heavy materials.

Varieties of hoist designs

There are several types of design that differ in the installation method, design features, control option and other technical characteristics. Choosing the right equipment option for the garage, it is necessary to take into account individual needs and room parameters.

Hand driven

Hand hoists are used to lift objects to a small height. The load rating of equipment with a manual drive varies from 1 to 8 tons. The pulling force on the lifting mechanism is 30-65 kgf, which provides a speed of 0.3 to 0.1 m / min. The weight of the structure depends on the material and additional components and ranges from 50 to 400 kg.

Manual gear

Chain hoists with gear mechanism are used for installation work within the garage or in open spaces. Equipment is controlled at the point of fixation of the cargo. Gear models are equipped with a hanging hook, they are easy to install and operate. The design features of gear hoists allow them to be used as stand-alone equipment or as a lifting element for cranes.

Lever

The manual lever hoist is equipped with a hanging hook and can be fixed to the support beams or the cable. The manual principle of operation ensures independence from the availability of electricity. The design provides a locking mechanism for fixing objects in suspension.

Worm gear

Worm hoists, by analogy with other varieties, are used to lift and lower loads. When completing with additional elements, the worm hoists can move objects along the monorail of the I-beam profile. Suspending a stationary hoist on a hook can be done manually or an integral version can be made, connected to a mobile trolley.

How to make a homemade manual hoist: step by step instructions

By independently manufacturing a manual hoist, it is enough to follow the step-by-step instructions. Equipment can be manufactured by following these steps:

1. Weld the crane legs to the I-pipe.
2. Position the metal corners 45 degrees to create stiffeners that secure the rack. The bulk of the load lifted falls precisely on this rack, so for extra reliability it is necessary to weld the spacers to it.
3. If the hoist is mobile, it is necessary to weld the rollers on each rack.
4. On the ceiling of the garage, fix the pipe along which the lifting mechanism will move.
5. Weld an I-beam in the center of the pipe to fix the roller mechanism.
6. Insert the crossbeam of the frame into the pipe.
7. Drill through holes on both sides of the holder and lock the lifting gear.

Tools and materials

To build a hoist, you must first prepare a set of tools and accessories. In particular, to create a hoist, you will need:

• i-beam with a length of about 4-4.5 m (the exact length depends on the ceiling height in the garage);
• a square pipe with dimensions of 10x10 cm, 2 pipes with a diameter of 10-12 cm and a length of 2.5 m;
• bulgarian;
• metal corners 10x10 cm;
• m16 bolts with nuts;
• lifting gear.

If you plan to install a mobile hoist, you will additionally need to use 4 rollers. Accessories are used to move the cart.

Mount nodes

One of the important stages of the construction of a mobile structure is the installation of nodes. First you need to drill holes in the racks through which a rod with a thread will be drawn at the ends. Washers are mounted on the base of the rod and nuts are screwed on to limit the divergence of the racks. Then, a chain is fixed on each side in the middle of the pole.

For the winch to move freely, the chain should sag slightly. A block with a cable is installed on the chain, passing along the middle rack and fixed from the bottom.

Activation and performance testing

Before each start-up and operation of the hoist, it is recommended to check the operability of the main elements. The following components are subject to verification:

1. Chain. Since the chain is responsible for keeping the item at a height, it is important to check the load capacity. Periodic maintenance involves cleaning the chain of dirt and lubricating with solid oil or similar materials.
