3.2 Introduction to construction hoist principles
SC series construction hoist is commonly divided into two types: cable-drum

and cable-pulley. The product mainly includes: mast (rail racks), drive system,
electrical system, anti-dropping security device, limit devices, electrical control box,
resistance box, hoist cage, power boxes, brace rails, cable sleeve, cable retaining rack,
tie-in frame, cable bracket, installing boom, cable car system.
3-3
3.3.1Mast (rail rack):
Rack rail, the running track of construction hoist, is the bolted masts (each
1508mm high) by the 8.8-class M24 × 230 high-strength bolts (installing
pre-tension torque of bolt not less than 300N • m). The mast section is welded from
seamless steel tubes or pipes, angle iron, or cold-formed steel, welded steel pipes. It is
equipped with removable racks (one rack for the single-cage and two racks for the
double-cage) each of which is tightened by three inner hexagonal screws. According
to the different mounting height the main chord thickness of mast section is also
different.
For easy installation and positioning of mast, there are spigots welded at the
lower end of four main chords of mast, and the rack has a cylindrical pin at its bottom.
Main chord center section of mast is 650 × 650mm square cross-section. Rail rack is
attached to the building by tie-in frame.
3.3.2 Drive System
Drive system includes a drive body and the drive unit. The drive body is a
component to connect the driving devices into an overall structure, and it will
transmit the driving force of drive unit to the cage to make it run up and down.
Connecting bolts for drive body and drive unit are 8.8-class high-strength bolts.
As the power part of running construction hoist, the drive unit is working is a
group or several groups at the same time to run the construction hoist weight and
hanging cage load (or construction workers) up and down.
The drive unit is composed by the drive gear, reducer, coupling (plum-shaped
elastic member), motor (with brake) and other components.
The reducer is arc cylindrical worm reducer, with a compact structure, high
carrying capacity, high mechanical efficiency, long life, smooth operation and so on.
Its coupling is flexible jaw type and between the couplings there are two elastic
elements (polyurethane rubber) to reduce the impact and vibration in runtime.
Motor is the disc brake three-phase asynchronous motor for crane. Its brake
electrical magnet can automatically track the wear of brake disc torque of which is
adjustable.
Drive system of variable-frequency construction hoist is equipped with
frequency control system, improving the braking stability; stepless speed can be
achieved within a certain range; the control system can lower the starting current,
3-4
reduce the mechanical wear and extend the life of wearing parts, with increased work
efficiency and energy conservation.
3.3.3 Electrical system:
Electrical system is a control port of mechanical operation of construction

hoist and all the actions are manipulated by the electrical system. Electrical system
includes an electrical control box, resistance box, power supply box, cab console, the
main control cables and various limit switches.
3.3.4 Anti-fall safety device:
It consists of a circular cone, brake cone, spring, and centrifugal block and so on.
When a cage over speeds, the centrifugal weight will overcome the pressure of spring,
causing the brake cone to rotate and the shaft joined to brake cone will forward
spirally. The friction force between the brake cone and crust will be increased
gradually ensuring that the cage is stopped smoothly. Meanwhile the stoke switch
acts to power off the cage to keep personnel and equipment safe.
Anti-fall safety device are two kinds: single-tooth and tri-teeth one. The of
tri-teeth anti-fall safety has same brake principle as the single-tooth’s, but has a
relatively large braking torque.
The safety device is adjusted for the required excitation speed and sealed with
lead so it is prohibited to open the safety device without authority.
Security nameplate is marked with the period use, not exceeding one year.
The safety device needs to be sent to the manufacturer or to testing organizations to
re-check and calibrate. Its service life is five years.

3.3.5 Limit device:
Limit device includes up and down limit switches and extreme limit switches. For
frequency construction hoist it also includes up and down limit switches of
deceleration.
The up-and-down limit switches act automatically to cut off the power to ensure
the cage to run at a specified location. Up and down limit switches of deceleration
make sure that the speed of construction hoist is reduced from high to low.
Limit switches guarantee the cage be stopped during running to the up and down
limit, through immediately cut off the main power supply leading to failure of the
limit switch, so that the cage not running over-roof and hitting bottom.
Limit switch is not the auto-resetting type, so it must be reset manually.
Users should always check the position accuracy of all limits, to ensure that the
limit and limit switches are accurate in action.

in which the cage top can be considered as a working platform, surrounded by the
guardrails.
Fitted with an electrical interlock, the cage will stop working when the cage
door is open to ensure the safety of personnel in hanging cage.
There is a cab for the driver at one side of the cage. All operation switches are
located in the cab.
There are 14 guide rollers running along the mast rail frame cage.
3.3.9 Power Box:
Power Box is the power supply portion of construction hoist control and
mounted on the brace fence.
3.3.10 Brace fence:
Brace fence includes two parts: chassis and guard rail:

Brace is a welded structure of profile steel and steel plate, surrounded by
protective fence coupled with the ground, and the central part is the base seat of mast
frame. It can withstand all the loads from the construction hoist. In installing, the base
chassis fastened together with base by embedded bolt parts.
Guard rail: a welded structure of profile steel, steel plate and steel mesh will
surround the host part of construction hoist to form a closed area, so that there is no
one enters the area during operation. At the entrance of protective fence there is a
fence door which is equipped with mechanical and electrical interlocks.
The current chassis fence is the combined type. The cable reel and cable car type
chassis fence can be interchanged by increasing the bending steel shown in the
following Figure. The doorsill height of 450 and 900 can be adjusted to each other.节

3.3.11 Cable sleeve:
Cable sleeve is used to collect and release cable part. Due to the great impact
of wind, it is usually used only for installation height of not more than 100m and the
wind force is small.
When the cage is running upward, the cage drives the main cable inside the
cable sleeve upward;
When the cage is running downward, the main cable is slowly collected into
cable sleeve, to prevent accident caused by the main cable scattered on the ground to
be rolled.
3.3.12 Cable retaining rack:
Cable retaining rack is used to ensure the safe operation of cable. When the hoist
is in operation, please ensure that the cable is in the retainer of cable retaining rack to
prevent the cage is twined with other equipment nearby during operation.

Cable bracket is the drag device carrying the main cable to run up and down.
The main cable is drawn by the cable bracket, safely through cable retainer to prevent
the cable from being scratched to any accident.
Cable bracket can pick the main cable out the fence so that the main cable is
securely collected into cable sleeve.
3.3.15 Installing boom:
Installing boom is an indispensable component to achieve adding and reducing

mast.
Having installed the foundation, you can use the boom to add masts on the top of
3-9
the installed mast.

The boom, the boom can be used to remove the mast frame sequentially from
top to bottom in the demolition work.
1. The rated load of installing boom is 200kg. Don’t overload;

2. Don’t hanging heavy objects when the construction hoist is in operation.
3. After the construction hoist has been installed or dismounted, the
installing boom must be removed from the top of the cage.
3.3.16 Cable car system:
When the construction hoist is high, it will be greatly influenced by supply

voltage, wind and gravity so it can adopt a cable car system, which is mounted on at
the bottom of the cage, simple in structure and easy in installation. The mast rack is
the running track not only of cage but also of cable car so the wind impact on it is less.
Hence it is used widely and there is still a kind of combined type of cable car and the
right and left cages are interchangeable.

4 Base configuration
Before use, calculate the load on base and base configuration according to the
Item 5.1.10 “Base of construction hoist should be capable of bearing all load at the
worst condition.” in Standard (GB/Tl0054－2005): Construction Hoist.
4.1Calculation of base bearing capacity P
P  nG
In formula P: foundation bearing capacity (N)
n: the safety factor n = 2, considering the running dynamic load, wind load
and impact of counterweight error on the base
G = cage weight (including drive system) + cage rated load + chassis frame
fence weight + rack rail weight + accessory weight + tie-in frame weight +
counterweight weight (kg)
When converted into gravity: 9.8 · G (N) that is:
P=0.02·G（kN）
Calculation example:
Example: Installing SC200 / 200-type construction hoist to erection height: 150m;
ⅡD type tie-in frame;
Base Model CM6238
Cage weight (including drive system): 2000 × 2 = 4000 kg
Cage rated load: 2000 × 2 = 4000kg
Chassis guardrail weight: 1300kg
Rail frame weight: l45 × 100 = 14500kg
The weight of power cable, the cable guide, fasteners and other accessories is
approximately 2000 kg,
ⅡD tie-in frame weighs approximately 146 × 16 = 2336kg
Counter weight: O kg (None)
Therefore: P = (4000 + 4000 + 1300 + 14500 ++ 2000 + 2336) · 0.02
= 562.72kN
Conclusion: The maximum load can be carried by the concrete foundation and
ground foundation is 563kN;
Area set according to CM6238 type base is 23.56 m 2 , so the maximum bearing
capacity of concrete foundation and ground foundation is 562.72 /
23.56≈23.88≈0.024 MPa.
4-11
When the rail frame height ≤100m, bearing capacity ≥0.10MPa;

100m <rail frame the height ≤300m, bearing capacity ≥0.15MPa;

When choosing the base configuration, users should make decisions

dependingon the actual situation at construction site.
1. The sill height is subject to the changes of cable guide devices. The
sill height is 450mm and the sill height of cable car type is 900mm.
2. Base should be produced by users at least one week before the
installation of hoist.

conditions of the construction site.
c) The embedded seat (the base bolt hook) of concrete foundation should be fixed
with steel mesh piece in the foundation.
d) During pouring concrete foundation, the bolt hole of embedded frame should
be temporarily covered with boards or plastic plugs or other fillers to prevent
the concrete into it, and the bolt end surface is 1mm higher than the concrete
surface.
e) The production of concrete foundation should be performed in accordance with
“Construction and Acceptance of Reinforced Concrete” (GBJ204).
□ The steel bar of concrete foundation shall not be less than l2mm, its grid is
200mm, and its material: HPB235 or HRB335.
□ The level of concrete foundation poured should be greater than C30 grade.
□The construction technology and strength of concrete foundation should meet
the requirements of construction hoist in “Construction and Acceptance of
Reinforced Concrete” (GBJ204).
f) Besides, the users should also fabricate the concrete foundation referring to the
relevant norms and standards of local country-or-region.

5.5 Calculation of force F of tie-in frame to wall
Users should also confirm the force of tie-in frame on pre-embedded parts and
bolts of building to select right parts and bolts (generally high-strength M24 bolts of
8.8 class) when planning the configuration of construction hoist according to Table
5.1 of The Largest Interval of Tie-in Frames L1 and The Maximum Height of Boom
End L2 and L and B values of tie-frames. At the same time, it is required to collate
the force on attached walls, beams or cylinders to ensure that the adhesion is safe and
reliable.
Its force F is calculated according to the following formula:
F=L×60/B×2.05(KN)
For example：
ⅡD-type tie-in frame，
5-11
Tie-in interval B=1500，Tie-in distance L＝3200，

So F=3200×60/1500×2.05＝62.44KN

1. If it has one power cable for power supply directly perform the above steps;
2. If it has two cables of different cross-sectional size for power supply, (the
larger cross-section cable is the fixing cable on mast rail frame and the smaller
one is the attached cable running up and down together with the cable car)
then take the attached cable to perform the above procedure.
c) Connect the motor wire of drive system to its corresponding position in electronic
control box and insert the cage top operation box (7-core plug) into its corresponding
position in electronic control box (in normal operation, the cage top operation box
cannot be removed).
For frequency construction hoist, its electrical control box is mounted on top of
the cage and the operation button assembly of cage top is on the electronic control
box.
d) Switch on the power switch of power box of chassis fence and close the outer
fence and skylights doors for operation on the cage top. Turn the switch of the cage
top operation box to cage top position and joggle the operation box to test whether the
power phase sequence is correct (when jogging the UP button, if the drive system
6-9
rises it means the phase sequence is correct, otherwise the phase sequence is reversed,
thus you need to exchange the wiring position of phase sequence).
f) Install a limit switch on the chassis fence
g) Check the safety control switches: including switches of hanging cage door limit,
skylight door limit, up and down limit, deceleration limit (inverter construction hoist),
extreme limit, chassis fence door limit and rope-breaking protection. All switches
should be can sensitive in action and flexible to open and close.
h) Use a ground resistance tester to measure the grounding resistance of steel and
metal casing and electrical equipment of construction hoist must not be greater than 4
;
With a 500V megger measure the insulation resistance of motors and electrical
components should be not less than 1 M .
During all the wirings, you must cut off the power.

bottom of rail frame. One end of connecting rod should be bolted with pulley rail
and the other end with mast frame by a hook bolt. Mount the cable car frame on
6-33
pulley rail and stop it at the bottom of the rail frame (Referring to Figure 6.39).
f) Install the pulley rail upward and bolt the pulley rails with each other and fix
them by connecting bars together with mast rail frame every 4.5m (connecting ways
as previous). If adjustment is needed, place gaskets between the connecting rod and
the rail frame. Before tightening of upper and lower pulley rail frames by bolts, check
the gaps at joints of pulley rail to make sure the gap is at the range of 1mm to 3mm.
g) Previously tighten the guide piece of cable retaining frame individually and the
contact pressure is 10.20N (using plate spring).
□ Double-cage hoist, bolt the cable retaining wire frame A / B on rail frame
about every 3 m (Referring to Figure 6.40);
□ Single-cage lifts, the mounting pitch of each pair of cable frame A and B on
the cable car is about six meters.
□ The mounting of cable frame A and B shall ensure the cage boom can pass
through between the two guide pieces.
□ Heighten the pulley rail frame to the position of 4.5 m beyond the half of the
maximum predetermined height.
h) Place the fixing cable on cage top and release some
cable of length sufficient connected to ground
power box. Then drive cage upward gradually to
release the required fixing cable which should be
fastened every 1.5 meters with a cable clamp to the
rail frame until about 1.5 meters above the top of
the cable car rail. Fix the cable end on the rail
frame and bundle the rest cable. Then hang the
bundle on the rail frame and fasten it firmly.

n) Mount a cable retaining rack frame A every nine meters on guard rail frame
above the pulley rail frame.
o) Lubricate the rail frame and pulley shaft with grease.
6.12.3.2 Phased heightening and installation of cable guide of pulley rail
When construction hoist is erected in phased process, if the rail rack frame is
less than half its pre-erected height, the mounting height of pulley rail should be 4.5
meters lower than the top of the rail frame.
That is: If the first erection height of rail frame is 30 meters, pulley rail should
be installed to 25.5 meters. Install the cable guide for pulley rail with such height.
When the rail frame is heightened to 25.5 + 25.5-4.5 = 46.5 meters, you need to
install a cable wire frame every 6 meters on rail frame above the pulley rail. And the
fixing cable and attached cable are not necessary to be lengthened. When the rail
frame height is over 46.5 m, the fixing cable and attached cable are necessary to be
lengthened. Similarly, the block must be heightened to guide rail brackets at the top
of 4.5 m or less. Namely: the pulley rail should be heightened to 4.5m below the mast,
i.e. the installing height of pulley rail is 4.5m
less than the half of the maximum set height
of mast rail frame.
Heightening procedures of cable guide as
follows:
a) Stop the cage at the pulley rail top and
6-35
slightly loosen the cable clamp of cable bracket of the cage to pull out the
segment of attached cable originally placed on cage, with its length equal to
the height of rail frame to be heightened. Then, fasten the cable clamp.
b) Drop the cage and release the strapped cable on the rail frame and drag the
previous left cable to cage top. Mount the uninstall tools on the attached cable
under cable fixing frame and then hang the cable on the cable bracket. Later
remove the cable fixing frame from the rail frame and place it on the cage top
(Referring to Figure 6.42). Figure 6.42
c) Drive up the cage in several steps and fix the every 1.5m segment of fixing
cable onto the rail frame by cable clamps until 3m to the top of rail frame.
Then install the cable fixing frame to hang the spare cable bundles onto the
rail frame.
d) Remove the dismantling tools for attached cable on the entry frame of cage.
e) Heighten the pulley rails to 1.5 meters under the cable fixing frame and install
the wire frames A, B and C as required.
When driving the cage up and down, operators should be at the cage
top and stand in safe place;
When installing, if you need to press the emergency stop button all the time you
must cut off the main power supply on the ground.

In the chassis fence, don’t operate the construction hoist when there is
people working inside the rail frame, tie-in frame or on cage top;
Do not overload; goods and man head or hands are prohibited to extend out
of the cage;
In addition to the driver, the cab is prohibited to carry goods or other
persons;
When the wind speed is greater than 20m / s, the operation of construction
hoist is prohibited;
When the rail frame and cable is freezing, don’t start construction hoist!
7.2 Operating
Before operating the construction hoist, the operator should inspect it according
to “7.1 Inspections before Operation”. After the inspection result is as required, you
can put it into normal operation.
a) Power on;
b) Load the goods or persons in cage;
c) Close all doors, including the entry and exit doors of cage, top door and outer
fence door, making sure the exit door is locked;
7.2.1 Operation:
a) Confirm the operational platform, the emergency stop button on operation box
on cage top, switch of operation table, are already open. The cage top control box
switch is turned into the cage;
b) Press the bell at first and then pull the joystick in the desired direction to start
the cage. When the cage reaches to the desired height, put the joystick in the “zero”
position, the cage will be stopped.
c) Operational approaches of frequency construction hoist are as follows:
□ Confirm the operational platform, the emergency stop button on operation
box on cage top, switch of operation table, are already open. The cage top control box
switch is turned into the cage;
7-2
□ Jog the “Power” button on operating table so the drive will be energized;
□ Jog the “Bell Start” button on operating table, the PLC system will check
the limits, if normal, the “Ready” indicator on operating table lights;
□ When operating press the micro switch on the handle to ensure the micro
switch in operation remain active. Handle have four shifts of speed: upward at
low-speed, upward at high-speed, down at low-speed and downward at high-speed.
Pull the handle in the desired direction to start the cage and when the cage is going to
reach the desired high speed, switch the handle to low-speed. Then set the handle in
the “zero” position, thus the cage will be stopped
□ During switching actions of up and down, interval of more than three
seconds is needed otherwise the PLC will determine the situation as abnormal
operation and the hoist cannot move.
Operate the operational box of cage on the cage top (operation button assembly
of top cage of frequency construction hoist is installed on the electrical control box on
cage top of the);
As an exception occurs during operation, such as the electrical system loses
control, immediately press the emergency stop button and don’t open it the fault is
excluded;
7.2.2 When the cage cannot start, check the following items.
a) The ground power switch is in the "on" position. Cage electrical lines should
be energized;
b) “Emergency stop” button have been released or
electric lock have been opened;
c) The power limit switch should be in the on
position;
d) The outer fence door, cage door and top door
should be closed.
e) For construction hoist with counterweight, you
need to check the rope-releasing switch position of
eccentric rope device on cage top is right. Figure 7.1
f) Fuse should be intact (or circuit breaker should be switched on).
After the above checks and taking appropriate actions, if the hoist still cannot
start, deal with the situation according “maintenance” section in Chapter 9.
7-3
7.2.3
When the cage of construction hoist is stopped suddenly in running due to a

power failure or other electrical failures (fuses, motor thermal relay), it’s better to
manually release the brake if there is no good solution, and the manual operation
must be performed by trained professionals, as follows:
When the drive system is adopted with only one motor, pull out slowly the
manual release handle or rod of brake at the
tail of motor to lower the cage slowly.
When there are two or more motors
for drive system, you need to use the
jacking rod to jack up and release the brake
of one motor or brakes of more motors, left
one motor for manual release operation. Figure 7.2
During the process to release brakes, do it set by set; if you find the cage fell
during the releasing process, cancel releasing immediately to recover the braking. At
this time the situation may be:
1. After releasing the brake of one motor or brakes of more motors, the
combining torque of rest brakes is not sufficient to stop the cage, especially in the
case of full load.
2. There may be some part of rest brakes badly worn, or even lost the ability to
brake.
If encountering this situation, you can exchange the brake or the order of release.
If encountering the following situation, you need to release several brakes at the same
time, for example: if drive system has three motors, the cage decline occurs upon
release of the second motor, it requires the operator to manually release the two
brakes simultaneously to decline.
Manually release brake in discontinuous way and the cage falling at each
time should be short, not exceeding the normal speed limit of hoist. If
over speed, the anti-fall safety device will act to stop the cage. In this case
the anti-fall safety device must be reset before cage falling again. After
falling every 20 meters, stop l minute to allow the motor brake to be
cooled. In the job on cage top you should pay attention to safety.
7-4
7.2.4
If the construction hoist bear heavy loads and the motor brake is worn (insufficient
braking torque) to let the cage down to the power limit switching position, and the
three-phase power supply is cut off so as to the cage cannot run up based on the
power, you should rotate the boom of limit switch to a certain distance to reset the
limit switch to drive the cage rise up and re-adjust the boom distance of limit switch
so that it can effectively contact with limit cam.

Operation Instruction of SC Series Construction Hoist Maintenance
9 Maintenance
Construction hoist maintenance is divided into maintenance for electrical and
mechanical systems.
Maintenance personnel for construction hoist must have relevant qualification
certificate.
9.1 Check failure of electrical system

When carrying out maintenance for cage, you should cut off the power
supply;
For frequency construction hoist, start the repair for it only after 10
minutes since the main power off.
Construction hoist maintenance personnel should use a multimeter to check the
electrical system. Specific inspection procedures are as follows:
a) Before the diagnosis of electrical system failure, maintenance personnel must
understand all of the principles of electrical schematics and the structures and
functions of components should have on the electrical schematics. At the same time
confirm the following procedures:
□ Confirm stop control circuit is not disconnected; Namely the thermal relay has
not been activated;
□ Contacts of safety devices, such as micro-switch of anti-fall safety device,
hanging cage door switches, outer fence door switch and others, should be closed;
□ Confirm the emergency stop button is not pressed;
□ Make sure the power limit switch is not off;
□ Confirm the up and down limit switches are intact and correct in action.
b) At the stop on the ground, confirm the three-phase power supply of power box
on the ground is powered.
c) Confirm that when the main switch (automatic air switch) of power box on the
ground is turned on, the main contactor inside the box is switched on and the output
cable is energized.
d) Identify the breakdowns of electrical system in cage after the power is turned
on.
e) Connect the voltmeter between the zero terminals and the terminal indicated in
electrical schematics, check to make sure all parts required to be powered is energized.
Check the terminals one by one to find out the fault using exclusion method.
f) Check the manipulation buttons and controls to confirm the commands of “up”
and “down” (voltage) should be properly sent to the electrical control box.
9-1
g) Test run the cage to ensure that the main contactor solenoid of up and down
running is energized (started) and that the brake contactor is activated (brake coil is
energized) and brake is in operation.
h) In terms of lighting and other auxiliary circuits, clear the troubles according to
the above procedures.
