5 Ton Electric Hoist With Low Headroom Design

Traditional electric hoists require significant headroom between the hook’s highest point and the supporting structure (beam or ceiling). This distance, often called the “hook approach” or “minimum headroom,” includes the hoist body, hook block, and safety clearances. In facilities with low ceilings, mezzanines, maintenance pits, or dense equipment layouts, this traditional requirement can make standard hoists unusable or force costly structural modifications.

Our Solution: Intelligent Low Headroom Engineering

Our 5-ton hoist tackles this head-on with a design philosophy focused on vertical compaction:

• 1. Optimized Housing & Component Layout: The hoist body is meticulously designed with a compact profile. Critical components like the motor, gearbox, and drum are arranged and shaped to minimize the overall height dimension without compromising strength or performance.
• 2. Integrated Hook Block Design: Unlike hoists where the hook block hangs significantly below the body, our low headroom design often features a hook block that nests more closely or is integrated into the hoist frame itself. This drastically reduces the distance from the top mounting point to the bottom of the hook.
• 3. Efficient Reeving System: The wire rope reeving path is engineered for maximum compactness, minimizing the space needed between the drum and the hook block sheaves.
• 4. Precise Drum Positioning: The wire rope drum is positioned optimally relative to the lifting mechanism and hook block to achieve the shortest possible rope path and overall stack height.

Key Low-Headroom Advantages in Design

• 1. Hook-to-Ceiling Clearance

  • Traditional 5-ton hoists: ≥ 600 mm (24 in)
  • This model: ≤ 300 mm (12 in)
    → Saves 50% vertical space.

• 2. Integrated Hook Block

  • Flush-mounted sheaves reduce “stack height” by 35% vs. conventional designs.

• 3. Optimized Drum Placement

  • Short rope path from drum to hook minimizes wasted space above the load.

• 4. Compact Trolley Compatibility

  • Works with low-clearance trolleys (เช่น, 150 mm/6 in height) for total system space efficiency.

Structural Requirements

Item	Requirement
Support Beam Min. Height	≥ Headroom + ยกสูง + Safety Margin (200 mm)
Beam Width	≥ 150 mm (6 in)
Dynamic Load Capacity	≥ 6.5 ตัน (130% of hoist weight + load)

Tangible Benefits of Low Headroom

• 1. Work Where Others Can’t: Install the hoist in facilities with exceptionally low ceilings, under mezzanines, inside pits, or in areas crowded with pipes, ducts, or other overhead obstructions where a standard 5-ton hoist simply wouldn’t fit.
• 2. Maximize Clear Lift Height: With less space consumed by the hoist mechanism itself, more of your available vertical space is dedicated to the actual lift path. Lift loads higher within the same building envelope.
• 3. Reduce Structural Costs: Lower headroom requirements often translate to less demanding support structure needs. This can potentially save costs on building modifications or allow installation on existing structures that couldn’t support a taller hoist.
• 4. Enhanced Versatility: Opens up lifting capabilities in retrofit applications, older buildings, maintenance bays, workshops, and specialized manufacturing cells where space is at a premium.
• 5. Improved Safety: Enables safe and efficient lifting in confined spaces that might otherwise require risky manual handling or impractical workarounds.
