As a hoist (also lift ) devices for lifting designated and moving loads. In contrast to elevators, the load is not guided in a fixed manner, but lifted in a free-floating or floating manner.

Also apply to some authors as lifting slings and chains. The chains are manufactured in the special grade 80, 100 and 120 grade, are documented with test certificates and must be carried out by the user in accordance with the accident prevention regulations (UVV) and the rules of the professional association for wood and metal (BGHM) at regular intervals before the first use and in special cases (extraordinary inspection) are checked by experts. Another lifting device is the sling loop .

The occupation that fits the topic is called a hoist technician, but this is not a protected occupational title in Germany.

history

The history of development goes back to the time of the pyramid construction and further back to the Stone Age . For documentation purposes, originated in Herbede the hoist Museum .

In the future, the further development of hoists will be largely linked to the development of Industry 4.0 - i.e. the link with information technology. For example, the condition of electrically powered rope hoists can already be monitored remotely today.
