I FOREWARD
Dear Customers:
Now you are the master of FITOP Electric Wire Rope Hoist, and we believe that it will
meet your expectation. It is a best tool of automation for carriage purpose, and is
produced by us under careful design and strict quality control. Before leaving the factory,
every set is tested to be qualified to meet CNS regulation for domestic and overseas
markets. It is surely safe.
However, in order to perform it with the maximum function, this manual is prepared by
us to let you fully understand the operation and maintenance. Please read carefully
before operation, and we will serve you with satisfactory instructions. The prosperity and
development of your business is our happiness!

IINOTES BEFORE INSTALLATION

2-1. General Examination
2-1-1. Examine if the specifications are in compliance with the requirements?
2-1-2. Examine if the hoist is damaged in the process of carrying?
2-1-3. Examine if all parts below are enclosed:
(1) Button switch (2) Fuse (3) Structural drawing
(4) Circuit Diagram (5) Wire rope (6) other specific demands

2-2. Insulation
Examine the resistance of insulation system: Use of 500V high- impedance Meter to
measure if the resistance of each individual part is above 1.

2-3. Rail
2-3-1. Stop device shall be set on the rail.
2-3-2. The gap between each rail connection shall not over 0.8 cm.
2-3-3. The installation of rail shall be complied with the regulation and be sure to keep
level at transversal and horizontal direction to avoid any unstable condition
when operating.

2-4. The notes of power feed system installation

2-4-1. Cable type
(1) Keep the ring of cable smoothly.
(2) Towing arm shall be welded on the hoist and against the end of electrical
power cable.
(3) When collecting the cable, be careful not hooked up with any extrusion from
runway.
-1-

2-4-2. T-rail type:

(1) T-rail shall be welded firmly and keep connection be smooth.
(2) For flat cable, the loop shall be smooth. (As the below drawing)
(3) Same as cable type (2).
(4) Same as cable type (3).
(5) The connection can be welded at A point. Dont weld B point. (As the
below drawing)

2-4-3. Safety rail type

(1) The fixing clamp shall be in the same line and level.
(2) The welding of towing arm shall be formed as square iron stick.
(3) Fix square bar shall be in parallel with the surface of safe rail, and the
distance is 70+10 mm.

2-5. Distribution of the control box:

Standard specifications refer to circuit diagram Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The others shall
refer to the circuit diagram inside the control box.

III INSTALLATION OF HOIST

3-1. Mono rail
3-1-1. The width of I / H beam girder should be >= (the base width of trolley
wheel + 2~4 mm gap) shown as below fig.

Gap

3-1-2. When one end of girder is opened, the hoist and trolley could be combined and
install them from the opening end.
3-1-3. When both ends of grider are closed or the end of girder cant be opened to
cause hoist to fail to enter in, please release the trolley plates than install it.
-2-

3-2. Double rail

After hoist and trolley has been combined, set it on the traversing rail directly.
Remark: There is an eccentricity self-regulator device for the axle of double rail hoist, so
the movement of the trolley wheel can keep evenly on the rail.
However, when main hoist has no loading, the four trolley wheels may not touch to the
rail simultaneously. After having loading, this situation wont be happened anymore.

3-3. Lifting hoist (Cargo elevator)

Lifting cabin shall be elevated to the top end. Move the hoist to keep the center of
gravity of hook be same as the vertical line of lifting box, then fix the hoist horizontally
correctly.

IV TESTING
4-1. Confirmation before running
4-1-1. The auxiliary supporting line of the button switch should be tie firmly and
correctly, to avoid the cable being deformed under force.
4-1-2. The position of button switch shall at 1 M distance from the floor.

4-2. Confirmation before un-loading running

4-2-1. Testing the button switch
When testing, press the UP button first, never press the DOWN button first.
After pressing the UP button, the hook will be lifted up. So, it is no problem. If
the hook moves downward, the power connection wire of hoist is not correct
(error phase sequence). So, please change two wires of R, S, T, alternatively, and
repeat the above steps until this problem has been solved.
If the hoist is used under the wrong wire connection (error phase sequence), the
limit switch will be invalid and it may be caused the wire rope broken or serious
damage of the hoist, etc. accidents. Therefore, be careful to pay attention to this
condition.
4-2-2. Press the button switch to keep the hook lifting up, when hook reaches to the
position of up limit, the limited switch will be started to stop the hook
automatically. Then press DOWN button, to make sure if the hook is moved
downward.
4-2-3. Let hoist load 100 kg-200 kg loading and move full distance up and down.
When the moving, please check the below list:
(1). Is the rail proper?
(2). Is any interference for cable?
(3). are there enough spaces between hook and building?
(4). If the hoist could be touched the building?
-3-

4-3. Confirmation before full loading running

4-3-1. First test lifting up and down action, and check the sliding is appropriate or not
after the brake?
4-3-2. Is it stable or not, when hoist is moving?
4-3-3. When hoist is moving, test the voltage of trolley, the voltage should not more 7%
the voltage of motor that show in motor nameplate.

4-4. Confirmation after testing

4-4-1. After hoist testing, please check the rope press block on the drum, if that is loosen
or not?
4-4-2. Check the traversing and runway rail, if they are loosen or not?
4-4-3. Check the temperature of motors, if they are normal or not?

V IMPROPER OPERATION
5-1. Correct Operation
5-1-1. When hoisting, be sure the wire rope is fastened at correct position for safety
purpose. Otherwise, loosened hook, the cargo hoisted will be fallen down to
cause damage.
5-1-2. Gradually loosen the tight wire rope; on the contrary, the loose wire rope shall be
tightened by gradual process.
5-1-3. Before hoisting, please make sure the wire rope orderly.
5-1-4. A sharp angle would be damaged wire rope, make use of a smooth object to
protect the wire rope at that position.
5-1-5. Keep opening of hooks wire rope degreed within at 60 shown as below fig.

Max. 60

5-1-6. When operation, be careful not to impact to the cargo , to avoid loading falling
down.
5-1-7. Lift one cargo by two hoists, please pay attention to keep a balance for the center
of gravity.

-4-

5-2. Improper Operation

5-2-1. The hoisting weight is over the rated weight.
5-2-2. When hoisting, the slant degree of wire rope is over big (shall not over 8 degree) or
push the hoisted loading to another side.
5-2-3. Weld hoisted object, Using the hoist to connect ground.
5-2-4. Keep the hook at the top end.
5-2-5. Often used the limit switch.
5-2-6. Put the sheave on the ground then the wire rope on the drum will be loosened.
The wire rope may be damaged when not place it in the correct glove.
5-2-7. When ascending or descending the cargo by hoist, operator does not see clearly
the wire rope and the situation of floor.
5-2-8. Carrying the cargo over the head of the workers.
5-2-9. When not hoisting, still lift loading off the ground.
5-2-10. Using the hoist to dismantle the stable and fixed object.

5-3. Operated by two peoples

5-3-1. Conductor and operator shall leave the hoisting district for a safe place.
5-3-2. Signal shall be acknowledged correctly before hoisting.
5-3-3. All operations shall be conducted by the same person.
5-3-4. Below is the instruction drawing for gesture:
