HS Type European Low Headroom Wire Rope Hoist
Product Introduction
The HS Series European Low Headroom Wire Rope Hoist manufactured by Kelude Heavy Industry is a new energy-efficient lifting product designed and manufactured in accordance with the FEM European Standard (FEM 9.511) and the German DIN Standard. Featuring a compact C-type configuration, the HS Series hoist reduces headroom by 30%–50% compared to conventional CD1/MD1 electric hoists, allowing for a greater lifting height range within the same workshop height. With a lifting capacity of 1.6–12.5t and a lifting height of 6–12m, the hoist offers two-speed hoisting (slow speed 0.8–1.6m/min for precise positioning, and fast speed 5–10m/min for efficient operation).
With its outstanding durability, low headroom advantage, and cost-effectiveness, the HS Series European hoist delivers efficient material handling solutions for industrial manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, equipment installation, and other applications. Kelude Heavy Industry can also customize non-standard lifting heights, special travel speeds, and explosion-proof or anti-corrosion configurations to meet specific customer requirements.

Product Features
Low Headroom Design: The optimized arrangement of the drum and motor significantly reduces the overall hoist height. Within the same workshop height, the HS Series European hoist can provide 30%–50% more lifting height than conventional CD1 models, making it particularly suitable for low-profile factory buildings or applications where maximizing lifting height is critical.
Compact Structure, Low Wheel Load: The C-type steel plate welded housing and modular design result in a compact overall footprint and reduced weight. Wheel loads are 15%–25% lower than conventional hoists, allowing for smaller crane main girder sections and reducing the customer's investment in factory steel structures.
Two-Speed Hoisting, Precise Positioning: Standard two-speed hoisting motor (slow speed 0.8–1.6m/min + fast speed 5–10m/min). The slow speed setting is used for precision installation and alignment, while the fast speed maximizes operational efficiency. The travel motor offers optional Variable Frequency Speed Control (2–20m/min stepless control) for smooth acceleration and deceleration without impact.
Premium Quality Components: The hoisting motor is a high-efficiency cone rotor motor designed to FEM standards, with Class F insulation and IP54 protection. Gearbox gears are made of 20CrMnTi alloy steel with carburizing and quenching, achieving a tooth surface hardness of HRC58-62. The wire rope is 6×36WS+IWR high-strength steel core construction with a safety factor of ≥6.
Modular Design, Easy Maintenance: All functional components are independently modularized for quick disassembly, replacement, and servicing. Kelude Heavy Industry maintains a comprehensive spare parts inventory to ensure prompt after-sales support.
Working Principle
The HS Series European Low Headroom Wire Rope Hoist is driven by a cone rotor motor, which transmits power through a three-stage helical gear reducer to the drum. The drum rotates to wind or unwind the wire rope, raising or lowering the hook. The core technological advantage lies in its compact C-type layout — the motor, gearbox, and drum are arranged along the same horizontal axis, substantially reducing the overall machine height.
Product Structure
The hoist consists of the following core components:
Hoisting Motor: FEM-designed cone rotor three-phase asynchronous motor, Class F insulation, IP54 protection, dual-speed winding.
Reducer / Gearbox: Three-stage helical gear transmission, gear material 20CrMnTi, hardness HRC58-62 after carburizing and quenching.
Drum Device: Steel plate welded drum, configured with 6×36WS+IWR wire rope.
Hook Device: Drop-forged alloy steel hook (DG20Mn), strength grade M.
Travel Mechanism: Electric trolley drive, wheels with cast steel tread surface hardened by medium-frequency induction quenching.
Electrical Control Cabinet: IP55 protection rating, control options include pendant station or Wireless remote control.

- Precision assembly: The two-speed slow hoisting mode enables precise alignment during equipment installation.
- Warehousing & logistics: Works with single-girder or suspension cranes to improve material flow efficiency.
- Machining: Machine tool loading/unloading and production line transfer.
- Maintenance workshops: Equipment repair and component hoisting.
Selection Guide
Select the appropriate model based on the maximum load weight, with a recommended safety margin of 15%–25%. Standard lifting heights are available in 6m, 9m, and 12m options. Kelude Heavy Industry offers custom non-standard solutions, including variable-frequency speed control and wireless remote control configurations.
FAQ
Q: What are the main differences between the HS series and the standard CD1 electric hoist?
A: The HS series features a compact C-type configuration that reduces headroom by 30%–50% compared to the CD1 series. Designed to FEM European standards, it comes standard with two-speed hoisting and is priced at approximately 1.5–2 times that of the CD1 series.
Q: Which standards does the HS series comply with?
A: FEM 9.511, GB/T 3811-2008, JB/T 9008.1, and GB/T 6067-2010. Every unit undergoes individual load testing and braking tests at Kelude Heavy Industry before shipment.
Q: Can the HS series be used in dusty or high-temperature environments?
A: The standard model operates from -20°C to +40°C. For dusty environments, an IP55 dustproof version is available; for high-temperature environments, a heat-resistant version (≤80°C) can be supplied. For explosive atmospheres, the ExdⅡBT4 explosion-proof model must be selected.
Q: What is the delivery lead time and what are the installation requirements for the HS series?
A: Standard models ship within 15–20 working days. Installation requires the I-beam rail to be completed per design specifications and a three-phase 380V/50Hz power supply. Kelude Heavy Industry provides full-service support throughout the process.
