WARN Industrial Hoists
What is a Hoist?
WARN Industries produces a large family of hoists
and winches. But what makes a hoist different
than a winch?
Hoists and winches look alike. Both consist of a
motor, a rotating drum with wire rope, reduction
gears, a base, and usually an electrical control
system. However, hoists and winches are used for
different purposes.
Hoists are used to lift a load into the air while
winches are used to pull a load horizontally across
the ground. Because a load that is suspended
in the air creates unique hazards, hoists are
engineered to higher safety standards. And unlike
winches, the operator of a hoist may not unwind
cable by "free spooling" or disengaging the motor
from the gear train.
Mechanical Brake
The mechanical brake generates heat when
loads are lowered and the wire rope is powered
out. Care must be taken to avoid overheating the
mechanical brake.
With heavier loads allow more time for the brake
to cool between uses.
Whine or chatter associated with a new
mechanical brake is normal and typically
disappears with use.
OVERHEATING THE MECHANICAL BRAKE
MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO,
OR FAILURE OF, THE BRAKE. REPLACE ANY
DAMAGED BRAKE COMPONENTS BEFORE
RESUMING USE OF THE HOIST.
Remote Control
Switch operation
Do not leave the remote plugged into the hoist
when not in use. Leaving the remote plugged in
may result in unexpected activation of the hoist
and/or battery drain.
