3-Ton Wire Rope Capacity

Posted by ProTek Crane Solutions on 6th Nov 2024

For many small factories and manufacturers, a 3-ton capacity wire rope hoist works efficiently and remains a valuable part of their operations for many years. At Protek Crane Solutions, we have an extensive inventory of these devices to meet every need.

Wire rope hoists have an advantage in work endurance thanks to their construction. Unlike a chain, the rope consists of multiple, high-tensile steel wire strands woven together to evenly distribute the workload weight rather than at the points where the chain links connect. If one or several strands separate, the operator can still safely move the workload to a position and lower it onto a shelf or pallet.

A reliable hoist from Protek is our DB7M59-26 model from Detroit Hoist. It is trolley mounted, lifts over 3 tons, and has a reliable lift speed of 26 feet per minute. Other features include:

  • Maximum trolley speed of 60 feet per minute for quick workload movement
  • Top running double girder design provides efficient load handling and increased trolley stability for smooth horizontal load movement.
  • The two-part reeving system has a lift height of 59 feet and 5 inches, providing one of the longest ranges in vertical movement for wire rope hoists.
  • The hoist operates off a 7.5kW motor, which provides consistent lift speed and performance.
  • The trolley operates off two 0.55kW motors that ensure efficient workload movement.
  • The control pendant uses a closed loop vector Variable Frequency Drive or VFD, which ensures a responsive and precise lift operation, and a sensorless vector VFD to position the trolley for accurate operation.
  • Operates off a 230VAC, 3-phase, 60Hz power supply with a ±5% tolerance for consistent power delivery and uninterrupted operation
  • Compliant with all CMAA Class D atmosphere conditions for superb reliability in multiple industrial environments

Our Maintenance Teams install every Detroit Hoist device we sell and honor all manufacturer warranties. If your operation already has a wire rope or other hoist, we can develop a maintenance plan that won’t interfere with your routine operations or break your budget.
