A fixed wire rope hoist is an electric wire rope hoist that hangs from or is fixed to a single point and only lifts and lowers the load vertically. It has no trolley, so it does not travel along a beam. It is made for jobs where the load always rises from and returns to the same spot.
We send the model list and current prices for this category on WhatsApp. Tell us the load and the lifting height and we'll pick the right models with you.
Get a Quote on WhatsAppThe body is built the same way as the wire rope hoist on monorail models: lifting motor, gearbox, brake, the drum the rope winds onto and the electrical panel. The difference is how it is mounted. The hoist hangs by a top hook or a suspension eye from a ceiling girder, a steel structure or a platform. Some models are bolted in place through feet on the body. As there is no trolley, the pendant only has up, down and emergency stop buttons. That is why people also search for it as a hook-mounted or stationary wire rope hoist.
Our range also includes twin-drum wire rope hoists. On these models, the rope winds onto two drums. Depending on the model, they work with two hooks and are used to lift long or wide loads evenly from two points. The right design depends on the length of the load and how its weight is spread. So when you ask for a quote, please send us the dimensions of the load as well.
The price depends on the capacity, lifting height, reeving, speed option, duty class and whether the hoist has one drum or two. As no trolley or beam is needed, the total cost is usually lower than a monorail system of the same capacity. If a support structure is needed for the suspension point, that is added to the price. Just send us the load, the lifting height and where the hoist will hang on WhatsApp.
We install and service the fixed wire rope hoists we sell from our base in Tuzla. The rope, drum, hook, brake and the upper and lower limit switches are the parts that need regular checks. In Turkey, lifting equipment must by law have a periodic inspection at least once a year. See our guide to hoist inspection and maintenance for the details. If you also need to move the load along a line, take a look at our monorail hoist solutions.
It means a wire rope hoist that hangs from or is fixed to a single point, without a beam or trolley. It only lifts and lowers the load vertically and does not carry it sideways.
From a steel girder, a support structure or a platform that can safely carry the weight of the hoist and the load it will lift. Whether the suspension point can take this load must always be confirmed by calculation.
The lifting height depends on the drum length and the rope length. On wire rope hoists, long lifting heights can be reached with a longer drum. Just tell us the distance you need.
On some models, the fixed hoist body can be attached to a suitable trolley and turned into a monorail system. This depends on how the body is mounted and on the beam size. Send us your hoist model and we will check whether it is possible.
Twin-drum models are used for jobs such as lifting long or wide loads evenly from two points. The design varies from model to model, so it should be chosen to suit the dimensions and weight of the load.
We compare chain and wire rope hoists in a single table and explain, with examples, which one is the better choice for which job.
