Why Strongway 72642 Chain Hoists will not lift rated load or does not have the proper lifting speed?
- LLinda YoungAug 8, 2025
If your Strongway Chain Hoists won't lift the rated load or lacks the proper lifting speed, it could be due to several reasons: * **Hoist overload:** Ensure that you reduce the load to within the rated capacity. * **Low voltage:** Determine the cause of low voltage in the hoist’s power supply and bring it to within plus or minus 5% of the voltage specified on the motor nameplate. The voltage should be measured at the hoist contractor. * **Faulty friction clutch:** If abnormal operation or slippage occurs, do not attempt to disassemble or adjust the mechanical load brake with the friction clutch. Replace the worn or malfunctioning mechanical load brake with the friction clutch as an assembly with a new, factory adjusted part.
