    Why is my Tractel Tirak X Industrial Equipment motor overheating?
    • J
      Jason BurkeAug 18, 2025
      Your Tractel Industrial Equipment motor might be overheating due to several reasons: * The unit may be overloaded, in which case you should check the load and reduce it if necessary. * The voltage may be too high or too low; check the current consumption and compare it with the motor label specifications, also check the current and voltage. * The starting capacitor might still be activated because of a centrifugal switch defect. Check the current at the auxiliary winding in the control box when running the motor. For centrifugal switch repair contact the supplier. * There may be a crooked motor shaft, in which case contact the supplier. * The brake might not be correctly released; inspect the brake.

    What to do if my Tractel Tirak X Industrial Equipment motor does not run at all?
    • T
      Tyler RogersAug 20, 2025
      If the motor of your Tractel Industrial Equipment does not run, it could be due to: * A power failure. Check the fuses, power cords, connections, and starting capacitor. * Incorrect wiring. Compare the wiring with the wiring diagram. * On a 3-phase motor, it could be stopped by the phase control relay. Check the wiring.

    Why is my Tractel Industrial Equipment motor making abnormal noises?
    • B
      Bruce TapiaAug 26, 2025
      Abnormal motor noise in your Tractel Industrial Equipment can be caused by: * Electric parts. See causes/remedies above 1. to 5. (noise disappearing immediately, when stopping motor). * Mechanical parts. In this case, contact the supplier.

    What to do if my Tractel Tirak X motor does not start with a load?
    • M
      Melissa PollardAug 28, 2025
      If the motor of your Tractel Industrial Equipment does not start with a load, the possible causes are: * Overload. Check the load and reduce it if necessary. * The brake is not released. Check the motor with the brake released by hand. Check the brake according to para. 5.1 (2), page 14. * The voltage is too low. Check the voltage when running the motor and use power cord(s) with a higher cross section. * Incorrect wiring. Compare the wiring with the wiring diagram.

    What to do if my Tractel Industrial Equipment is overheating when running without load?
    • R
      Ricardo HughesAug 30, 2025
      If your Tractel Industrial Equipment is overheating when running without a load, possible causes include: * Insufficient cooling. Clean the motor fan cover. * Incorrect wiring. Compare the wiring with the wiring diagram. * Voltage too high. Check the voltage and no-load current. * Short circuit in the coil. Contact the supplier.

    What to do if the wire rope does not move through my Tractel Tirak X Industrial Equipment?
    • G
      Gabrielle AyalaSep 1, 2025
      If the wire rope does not move through your Tractel Industrial Equipment, it is likely that damaged wire rope is jamming the hoist. WARNING: STOP OPERATIONS IMMEDIATELY! Continued operation might cause wire rope failure. Contact the supplier.

    What to do if the brake does not open on my Tractel Industrial Equipment?
    • R
      Ryan GonzalezSep 4, 2025
      If the brake on your Tractel Industrial Equipment does not open, and there is a lack of a “click” switch noise when starting or stopping the hoist, it could be due to: * A defective supply conductor, brake coil, or rectifier. Have the supply conductor, current passage in the brake coil, and rectifier checked by an electrician or qualified person. * A worn brake rotor. Contact the supplier.

    What to do if the BSO secondary brake automatically closes without apparent reason on my Tractel Tirak X?
    • M
      Matthew BartonSep 6, 2025
      If the BSO secondary brake on your Tractel Industrial Equipment automatically closes without an apparent reason, it could be due to: * A mechanical defect; contact the supplier. * Oversized or damaged wire rope; check the wire rope and replace it if necessary.

    What to do if the hoist goes up but not down with my Tractel Industrial Equipment?
    • C
      Christina TuckerSep 9, 2025
      If your Tractel Industrial Equipment hoist goes up but not down, the BSO secondary brake is likely closed because the primary wire rope has run out or has failed. WARNING: STOP DOWNWARD TRAVEL! Proceed according para. 5.4, (3), page 16.
