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.

  If the motor runs normally but the hoist won't lift, ensure the bullet end of the wire rope has come out of the wire rope exit spring. Inspect the wire rope for any damage or wear and replace it if necessary. If the wire rope is jammed, do not continue to operate and call your supervisor.

  If your hoist hums, starts slowly, and feels sluggish, check for the correct run voltage and correct as needed. Also, run separate cords for each hoist, use shorter cords, or use a short cord with larger wires. Consider adding a booster transformer at the power source.

  If the overspeed flywheel doesn't turn while the hoist moves up or down, check for obstructions such as dirt or other materials and correct as needed. If the wire rope or hoist parts are worn out, call your supervisor.

How to reset the overspeed brake knob on Power Climber Wind PC1?
- S
  Sarah DavisSep 7, 2025
  Do not reset the overspeed until you have determined that there is enough wire rope to reach a safe landing surface, you know that the wire rope is not jammed in the hoist, and you know the reason that the overspeed has been tripped and there is no danger when it is reset. Power the hoist up a few inches while turning the reset knob clockwise until it engages.
