The standard model referenced is a 15‑ton (15 t) travelling electric wire rope hoist. Other capacity variants in the M5 family are available — confirm the exact model when ordering.
Lifting height is configurable to meet your application requirements. Typical factory offerings cover common crane hook heights, but custom lifting heights (short or very tall) can be supplied — specify required lifting height when requesting a quote.
Speeds depend on the selected gearing and motor configuration. Typical lifting speeds for M5 wire rope hoists are offered in single‑ or dual‑speed configurations (examples in the product family range from around 0.3 m/min up to approximately 9–10 m/min for lifting). Travelling speeds are commonly configurable up to about 20 m/min. Exact speeds for the 15 t unit are supplied on the datasheet for the configured unit.
The hoist uses three‑phase electric drive motors sized to the chosen capacity and speed configuration. Standard industrial supply (e.g., 380–415 V, 50/60 Hz) is typical; however, motors and electrical supply can be adapted for local voltages and frequency. Motors are industrial grade with thermal protection and are selected per the final specification.
The Type M5 range is designed to meet FEM and ISO crane/hoist classification and manufacturing guidelines. CE marking and other regional certifications can be provided where applicable — confirm required certification with sales before purchase.
Wire rope diameter and drum specifications depend on the final configuration (lifting height, reeving, etc.). For 15 t class M5 hoists, manufacturers commonly use heavy‑duty multi‑part wire ropes and appropriately sized drums; the exact rope diameter and drum bore are listed on the supplied datasheet for your ordered configuration.
Control options typically include a pendant (pushbutton) station, radio (wireless) remote control, and/or cabin controls when integrated into an overhead crane. Control logic (contactors or VFD/inverter drives) and safety interlocks are selectable per application.
Standard safety features include an emergency stop, upper and lower limit switches, mechanical braking system, overload protection (electrical and/or mechanical), motor thermal protection, and optional features such as anti‑collision devices, load limiting/load cells, and anti‑sway systems.
Installation must be performed by qualified technicians. Requirements include a suitable crane runway and supporting structure rated for the hoist and crane loads, correct electrical supply and grounding, clearances for travel and maintenance, and commissioning checks such as alignment, lubrication, and load testing.
Recommended maintenance includes daily visual inspections, regular lubrication of bearings and gearboxes, frequent inspection of wire rope condition (wear, kinking, broken wires), periodic brake checks and adjustments, electrical system checks, and scheduled preventive maintenance per the manufacturer's manual. Replace wire rope when wear exceeds guidelines or any damage is found.
Yes — prior to handover or during commissioning the hoist should be load‑tested to the applicable standard (proof/test load) and a test certificate issued. Factory acceptance testing can also be arranged on request.
Yes. Genuine spare parts (gears, brakes, motors, rope, controllers, etc.) and technical/service support are available. We recommend stocking critical spares and arranging a spare parts agreement for fast turnaround in production‑critical applications.
Yes. The M5 series is commonly customized for different lifting heights, reeving arrangements, speeds, control systems, power supplies, and additional safety or automation features. Discuss your application requirements with sales/engineering to receive a tailored configuration and quotation.
Lead time depends on configuration, certification requirements, and current production schedules. Typical lead times for configured M5 hoists range from several weeks to a few months. Delivery is normally by sea or road in crated or skidded form; installation and commissioning services can be provided or supervised.
Warranty terms vary by supplier and contract but commonly include a manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for a defined period (often 12 months from commissioning). Warranty scope, exclusions, and extended warranty options should be confirmed in the sales agreement.
