This download has two hoist blocks: an electric chain hoist for 500 kg with hook suspension, and an electric wire rope hoist on a monorail trolley with 4/1 reeving. Both come in DWG and DXF with a plan and an elevation in millimetres, as IND_ELECTRIC_CHAIN_HOIST_PLAN, IND_ELECTRIC_CHAIN_HOIST_ELEV and the matching wire rope hoist blocks.
Electric chain hoist CAD block
The chain hoist follows the dimension sheet of a typical 500 kg stationary chain hoist: 402 x 353 mm overall, a 237 mm housing and 400 mm of headroom from the suspension to the load hook. The chain container under the hoist is drawn at a representative size, because the sheet only gives a container size number without dimensions. The plan shows the housing with its two side covers and the chain container as a hidden circle.
Wire rope hoist drawing on a monorail trolley
The wire rope hoist follows the tables of a typical monorail hoist with 4/1 reeving: 1046 mm overall length and a hook approach of 520 mm on a beam flange of 119 to 170 mm. The 798 mm width, the drum, the motor and the trolley side plates are representative proportions read from the maker's drawing, and the trolley wheels are drawn at 100 mm. As with the chain hoist, these are the figures of one catalogue model, so check them with the hoist you choose.
Using the hoist block on a crane or monorail beam
Both hoists start their elevation at their own lowest point and not at the floor, because they hang from a beam. Place the block under the bottom flange of your beam, and the hook position follows from the dimension between the suspension and the hook: 400 mm for the chain hoist and 520 mm for the wire rope hoist. Then check the hook height against the floor and the loads you need to lift.
The same wire rope hoist hangs from the girder of the single girder overhead crane block and of the gantry crane block, and a chain hoist of the same kind rides on the arm of the jib crane block. Confirm the dimensions with the maker of the unit you buy before you fix a beam height.
