The difference between electric winch and the electric hoist

 Winches and electric hoists as the most commonly used light lifting machinery,crane machine are widely used in all aspects of industrial production because of its ease of use, maintenance and many other advantages. From the appearance,there is hardly no difference between them, but from the actual use of the process，we can found some different. 

The main difference between the winch and the electric hoist is six points:

• Winch and electric hoist operation mode difference:

  electric hoist can be translated around, winch can only be fixed.

•  Winch and electric hoist running speed difference:

  the general lifting speed of the basic rope is 8M / min, the winch is also generally 10 meters in the annex. This is based on the weight and model.

• Winch and electric hoist lifting height difference:

  wire rope electric hoist is generally 6M, 12M, etc., the installation of wire rope is not convenient because you install the wire rope, then the entire gourd reel and volume will change. However, the winch you only need to see his capacity, usually 100M accessories.

• Winch and electric hoist size and installation difference:

  electric hoist has small size but winch has large size. Electric hoist installation needs I-beam, electric winch fixed on the main beam on the line.

• Winch and electric hoist role difference:

  electric hoist generally can only do with the lifting. However, the winch not only can lifting but also can traction.

• Winch and electric hoist application differences:

  Electric hoist is mainly used for lifting, the use of industrial and mining enterprises, railways, docks, workshops and warehouses commonly used in lifting equipment.Winch is mainly applicable to all kinds of bridges, ports, terminals and other road and bridge engineering and large factories and mines engineering equipment
