10T Electric Wire Rope Hoist for Maintenance Workshop
Explore our detailed case study about 10T Electric Wire Rope Hoist in maintenance workshop. Discover solution on efficiency and performance improvements.
Customer Profile and Industry Background
This customer is from a large manufacturing plant in Arabia, they produce and manufacture some large equipment, and they are also responsible for the daily maintenance and repair of the equipment. According to the customer, they were looking for a suitable lifting solution for their maintenance workshop. The workshop needed to safely move heavy components to a designated location for servicing, and then carry out subsequent repair work, such as dismantling and replacing parts, cleaning work, and so on.
Customer Needs and Challenges
1. Safety and Efficiency Concerns
The customer told us that their company had been operating locally for a long time, and some of the plant and workshop infrastructure was quite old. As the previous wire rope hoists had been used for too long and improperly braked, they often caused the equipment to slide downwards, which was a big safety risk, even though no accidents had occurred yet. Therefore, they value the durability and safety performance of the hoist. In addition, considering that no matter what equipment may fail after a long period of time, they hope that the new hoist will have a low probability of failure and be easy to repair and maintain, minimizing delays in production due to crane downtime.
2. Space and Layout Constraints in Workshops
Since the maintenance shop where the customer is located was established earlier, the facility has limited space to accommodate a hoist that requires a lot of installation space, so the solution we provided had to be a compact and lightweight design so that it could be installed on the original crane. After communication, we determined the load capacity of the customer's original crane and designed a hoist suitable for their use.

Product Specifications
The 10T Electric Wire Rope Hoist is designed for maintenance workshops and other industrial applications that require the lifting of heavy loads. Key specifications include:
- Load Capacity: 10 tons, which is suitable for medium to heavy lifting tasks.
- Power Source: ABM Electric motor drive system, ensuring consistent and reliable operation.
- Control System: Remote and pendant control options for ease of use and enhanced safety.
- Wire Rope Quality: High-grade wire rope that meets industry standards for strength and durability.
- Operating Speed: Adjustable lifting speed to match the specific needs of the workshop.
These specifications were tailored to meet the customer's requirements, ensuring that the hoist would handle the heavy loads and varied tasks typical in a maintenance workshop environment. The hoist came with built-in thermal protection, overload limiters, and emergency stop systems—features that directly addressed the client's past safety and operational issues. In addition, remote control operation reduced manual errors and enhanced workplace safety.
Design Features and Performance
Implementation Process and Testing
The customer was very satisfied with our lifting solution after seeing it, and we delivered the equipment to the customer as scheduled. The customer carried out the installation work immediately after receiving the goods. This required them to lift the crane onto the existing crane beam and then link it to the workshop power supply. We provided detailed instructions and remote guidance, and the customer completed the installation very smoothly. He told us that our instructions were very detailed, especially the wiring of the electrical box, which was clear and easy to understand.
The hoists are subjected to various tests before they leave the factory, including performance tests, load tests, emergency stop tests, wire rope integrity tests, and so on. The test results are also provided to the customer after the tests are completed.
Other Applications of 10T Electric Wire Rope Hoists
Although this wire rope hoist was specified for a Saudi Arabian plant, its design suits any setting that demands dependable heavy-lift performance in a compact package. Below are some of the industries and crane types where this model delivers reliable service.
1. Steel and Metal Processing
This hoist handles moving heavy coils, ingots, and welded assemblies on bridge or gantry cranes. Its robust wire rope and geared drum deliver smooth, high-force lifts while resisting abrasion in dusty, hot mill environments.
2. Automotive Assembly Lines
On jib or overhead bridge cranes, the hoist places engine blocks, transmissions, and body-in-white modules. Dual-speed control lets technicians lift quickly between stations, then slow down for precise positioning in robotic weld cells.
3. Logistics and Warehousing
Mounted on monorail or portable gantry cranes, the hoist speeds pallet transfers and container loads. Its compact headroom requirement fits under racking systems, and its sealed motor options withstand cold-storage or dusty warehouse floors.
4. Construction Material Handling
In temporary job-site installations, the hoist lifts beams, formwork panels, and prefabricated modules. Whether on a site gantry or jib crane, the hoist's flexible rigging options adapt to uneven ground and evolving layout needs.
5. Power Plants and Equipment Installation
During turbine, transformer, or heat-exchanger assembly, the hoist mounts on a lightweight monorail to lift heavy components in tight turbine halls. Its precise brake and drive systems ensure safe alignment of high-value machinery.
Across all these applications, the hoist's flexible design and choice of pendant, radio remote, or cabin control make it equally at home indoors or out—no matter the load profile or environment.
