- M
  Mark AyersAug 22, 2025
  If the Yale HOISTS Chain Hoist motor overheats, it could be due to several reasons: * **Excessive Load:** Reduce the load to the rated capacity shown on the nameplate. * **Excessive Duty Cycle:** Decrease how often you lift items and reduce jogging. * **Wrong Voltage or Frequency:** Check that the supply voltage matches the motor data plate. * **Defective Motor or Worn Bearings:** Disassemble the hoist and inspect for any defective, worn, or damaged parts, replacing them as needed.

Why is cross traveling NOT possible with my Yale HOISTS Chain Hoist?
- R
  Roger MitchellSep 12, 2025
  If cross traveling is not possible with your Yale HOISTS Chain Hoist, it could be due to excessive load. Reduce the load to the rated load of the hoist, as shown on the nameplate. Alternatively, the travel limit switch might be defective; check the travel limit switch and replace it if necessary. Also, check the fuses and replace them if necessary.
