The Main Purpose of Hoisting Machinery

The Basic Mechanism of Hoisting Machinery. Various types of hoisting machinery have different uses and differ significantly in their structure, but all possess a hoisting mechanism that performs the basic lifting action. Some hoisting machinery also features a running mechanism, a luffing mechanism, a slewing mechanism, or other specialized working mechanisms. Materials can be lifted and lowered by flexible components such as wire ropes or lifting chains, or by screws or other rigid components. Hoisting machinery machinery is a type of spatial transportation equipment whose primary function is to move heavy objects. It can reduce labor intensity and improve productivity. Hoisting machinery is an indispensable component of modern production. Some lifting machinery can also perform specialized processes within the production process, enabling mechanization and automation. Hoisting machinery has helped humans conquer and transform nature, achieving previously unattainable lifting and movement of large objects, such as the assembly of heavy ship sections, the integral lifting of chemical reaction towers, and the integral lifting of steel roof trusses in stadiums. The use of hoisting machinery has a huge market demand and good economic benefits, and the hoisting machinery manufacturing industry is developing rapidly, with an average annual growth rate of approximately 20%. Because during the production process from raw materials to finished products, the amount of material moved by lifting and transporting machinery is often dozens or even hundreds of times the weight of the product. Statistics show that for every ton of product produced in the machining industry, 50 tons of material must be loaded, unloaded, and moved during the processing, and 80 tons of material must be moved during the casting process. In the metallurgical industry, for every ton of steel produced, 9 tons of raw materials must be moved, with 63 tons transferred between workshops and 160 tons transferred within workshops. Lifting and transport costs also account for a high proportion in traditional industries. For example, in the machinery manufacturing industry, lifting and transport costs account for 15-30% of total production costs, while in the metallurgical industry, they account for 35-45%. The transportation industry relies heavily on lifting and transport machinery for the loading, unloading, and storage of goods. Statistics show that loading and unloading costs account for 30-60% of total ocean freight costs.
