What to do if Tractel Lifting Systems motor starts but the wire rope does not move?
- D
  Donna CameronAug 22, 2025
  If the motor starts but the wire rope doesn't move, it could be due to a rope jam caused by damaged or incorrect wire rope, or an obstructed rope exit. Here's what to do: 1. Support the load, for example, with a wedge clamp or lever hoist. 2. Cut the wire rope in front of and behind the hoist. 3. Send the hoist to be repaired. 4. When available, install a new wire rope in replacement hoist.

Why does Tractel Lifting Systems motor switch off suddenly after prolonged use?
- J
  Jared SantanaAug 25, 2025
  The motor may switch off suddenly after extended use due to overheating from inadequate cooling, supply voltage being too high or low, an ambient temperature exceeding 40°C, or operation at altitudes over 1000 m above sea level. To resolve this: * Ensure sufficient cooling. * Have an electrician measure the voltage and power consumption under load. * Provide sufficient breaks in operation.

What to do if Tractel Lifting Systems suspended load continues to lower slowly when stopped?
- G
  George BrownAug 28, 2025
  If the suspended load continues to be lowered slowly when stopped, it might be due to a defective or dirty operating brake (spring-loaded brake) or an incorrect wire rope diameter. Here's what you should do: * Lower the suspended load down to the ground. * Send the hoist to the manufacturer for repairs or hand over to a specialist hoisting gear workshop. * Replace incorrect wire ropes with specified wire ropes.

What to do if Tractel Lifting Systems motor hums intensively or the rope drive creaks?
- R
  Robert Randall PhDAug 29, 2025
  If the motor hums intensively or the rope drive creaks, even though UP and DOWN travel is possible, it could be due to: * The brake not opening because the power supply, brake coil, or rectifier are defective. Have these components checked by an electrician and repaired or replaced. * The brake not opening because the brake rotor is worn. Send the hoist to the manufacturer for repairs or a specialist hoist workshop. * Dirt in the rope drive, or damage to the wire rope and rope drive. Replace the hoist as soon as possible and have it checked or repaired by TRACTEL Greifzug GmbH or an authorized hoisting gear workshop.

  If the load cannot be lowered or slackened, this could be because the load has come to rest on or jammed against an obstacle. Carefully move the load upwards to remove the obstacle. Then, check the wire rope, rigging, and lifting equipment to ensure they are still safe to use.

Why does my Tractel Chain Hoists motor hum or rope drive creak?
- D
  Danielle StewartSep 8, 2025
  If the motor hums intensively or the rope drive creaks, even though UP and DOWN travel is possible, it could be due to: * Overheating caused by deficient motor cooling. Provide sufficient cooling. * Overheating due to the voltage being too high or too low. Have an electrician measure the voltage and power consumption when subjected to load. Increase the wire cross-section if necessary. * Dirt in the rope drive, which could damage the rope and rope drive. Replace the hoist as soon as possible and have it checked or repaired by TRACTEL Greifzug GmbH or an authorized hoisting gear workshop.

  Anna RussoSep 10, 2025
  If the suspended load continues to be lowered slowly when stopped, it could be due to: * A defective or dirty operating brake (spring-applied brake) on the hoist. Lower the suspended load down to the ground and send the hoist to the manufacturer for repairs or hand it over to a specialist hoisting gear workshop. * An incorrect rope diameter or a rope diameter that is too small. Replace incorrect ropes with specified ropes.

What to do if Tractel Chain Hoists load cannot be lowered but the rope can be lifted?
- J
  Jenna RyanSep 12, 2025
  If the load cannot be lowered or slackened although the rope can be lifted or pulled: * The load may have come to rest on an obstacle or has jammed on an obstacle. Carefully move the load upwards and remove the obstacle. Check the rope, rigging and lifting equipment to confirm their operating safety. * There may be a fault in the DOWN control circuit of the hoist. Trigger emergency descent by releasing the brake and have the connections, wiring and cut-outs checked by an electrician and repair if necessary.
