1. Introduction
Welcome to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the Dual-Machinery Hoist System
designed by HEBENKRAFT. This hoist system is specifically engineered for construction
companies, featuring dual hoist mechanisms at both ends, controlled via a single push-
button interface, and optimized for vertical (up and down) operations.
This manual provides detailed instructions on the safe operation, routine maintenance, and
troubleshooting of your hoist system. It is essential that all operators and maintenance
personnel familiarize themselves with this manual to ensure efficient and safe usage.
2. System Overview
2.1 General Description
The Dual-Machinery Hoist System is a robust lifting device designed for heavy-duty
construction applications. It incorporates two synchronized hoisting mechanisms located
at each end of the load-bearing structure, ensuring balanced and precise lifting of materials.
This design minimizes the risk of load imbalance and enhances operational efficiency.

Before initiating any operation, perform the following inspections to ensure the hoist
system is in optimal condition:
1. Visual Inspection:
o Check the entire hoist system for any visible damage, wear, or abnormalities.
o Inspect the main hoist rope drum and pulleys for signs of wear or damage.
o Ensure that the main members (flanges and webs) are free from cracks or
deformities.
4. Limit Switches:
o Test the rotary geared limit switch and gravity type shunt limit switch to
confirm they stop the hoist at designated positions.
o Ensure all limit switches are securely mounted and operational.
5. Brakes:
o Inspect both the Electro Hydraulic Thruster Brake and DCEM Shoe Brake for
proper installation and functionality.
o Ensure brakes engage and release smoothly without any delays.
6. Lubrication:
o Confirm that all moving parts, especially the gearboxes and wire ropes, are
adequately lubricated as per the lubrication chart.
7. Safety Devices:
o Ensure that all safety devices, including emergency stop buttons and limit
switches, are in place and operational.
5. Operation of Hoist
The hoist system can be operated using two different control methods:
The pendant control station is hardwired to the hoist system and allows the operator to
control the hoist operations with tactile feedback. The pendant includes the following
controls:
ON Signal: Indicates that the system is powered on and ready for operation.
Main ON: Activates the hoist for operations.
Emergency OFF: Immediately cuts power to the hoist in case of an emergency.
Selector Switch (1 Pole, 2 Way with OFF): Selects the operational mode or
direction of the hoist.
Selector Switch (2 Pole, 2 Way with OFF): Adjusts the operational speed or mode.
UP 10% / DOWN 10%: Allows fine control of the hoist's movement with 10%
speed increments.
The pendant control is ideal for precise movements and when the operator is in close
proximity to the hoist system.
The hoist system is also equipped with a Radio Remote Control (RRC) unit, which allows
wireless operation from a distance. The RRC system is designed for enhanced mobility and
safety, giving the operator freedom to move around the workspace.
RRC Specifications:
The RRC system enhances operational flexibility and safety by allowing the operator to
maintain a safe distance from the hoist while still maintaining full control.
The hoist system can be operated using either the Pendant Push-Button Control or the RRC.
To switch between control methods, ensure that the hoist is in a safe, non-operational state
and follow these steps:
1. Pendant to RRC: Deactivate the pendant control by turning the selector switch to
OFF, then activate the RRC by pressing the START button on the remote.
2. RRC to Pendant: Power off the RRC by holding down the emergency stop button,
and then activate the pendant control by switching the selector switch to the
desired mode.
Both methods ensure reliable control of the hoist, but the RRC is especially useful when
mobility or distance is a concern.
6. Safety Precautions
Adhering to safety protocols is paramount to prevent accidents and ensure the longevity of the
hoist system. Follow these safety measures diligently:
1. Load Capacity:
o Do not exceed the rated load capacity of 2.0 Tons.
o Always verify the weight of the load before lifting.
2. Operator Training:
o Only trained and authorized personnel should operate the hoist.
o Ensure all operators are familiar with the manual and safety procedures.
3. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
o Operators must wear appropriate PPE, including helmets, gloves, and safety
boots.
4. Clear Area:
o Ensure the lifting area is free from unauthorized personnel and obstructions.
o Maintain a safe perimeter around the hoist during operation.
5. Avoid Side Pulling:
o The hoist is designed exclusively for vertical lifting. Side pulling can cause load
imbalance and potential equipment failure.
6. Regular Inspections:
o Conduct daily inspections to identify and address any safety issues promptly.
o Do not operate the hoist if any components are damaged or malfunctioning.
7. Brakes and Limit Switches:
o Ensure that all brakes engage correctly and limit switches function as intended.
o Never bypass safety features.
8. Weather Conditions:
o Avoid operating the hoist in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, high
winds, or lightning storms.
9. Emergency Protocols:
o Familiarize all operators with emergency stop procedures and evacuation
routes.
7. Maintenance Guidelines
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the hoist
system. Follow the guidelines below to maintain your hoist in optimal condition.
Visual Inspection:
o Check for any visible signs of wear, damage, or corrosion on all components.
o Ensure that the wire ropes are free from fraying and are properly lubricated.
Lubrication:
o Lubricate all moving parts as per the lubrication chart provided in Section 8.
o Pay special attention to the gearboxes, pulleys, and wire ropes.
Brakes and Limit Switches:
o Test the functionality of both Electro Hydraulic Thruster Brake and DCEM
Shoe Brake.
o Verify the operation of all limit switches to ensure they stop the hoist at
designated positions.
Control Panel:
o Ensure all buttons and indicators on the control panel are functioning
correctly.
o Check for any loose connections or signs of electrical wear.
o Inspect and adjust the tension of the main hoist wire ropes to prevent slack
and excessive wear.
Gearboxes:
o Inspect and tighten all bolts and fasteners to ensure structural integrity.
Comprehensive Inspection:
Hoist Machinery:
o Inspect the main members (flanges and webs) for any signs of fatigue or
deformation.
o Reinforce or replace structural components as necessary.
