What to do if Power Climber Wind Chain Hoists have no power?
- A
  Angela HowardAug 15, 2025
  If your platform isn't getting power and the voltage indicator light is off, several issues could be the cause. It could be that the power at the junction box is off, a circuit breaker has tripped, the plugs aren't connected properly, the electrical cord is damaged, the power indicator light is burnt out, not enough power is being supplied to the hoist, or the thermal (TH2) has tripped due to excessive amperage. Consult with your supervisor to resolve these issues and check for low voltage.

  If the hoist motor is hot, the motor thermal overload protection may have tripped. Allow the motor to cool down; it may take 30 minutes or longer for it to reset. Frequent stops and starts, high outside temperatures, a dragging brake, or overloading can cause the motor to heat up.
