 2.3 Selection criteria

The size of the hoist is determined by the load 1. What are the operating conditions? 5. Do the loads need to be lifted and lowered with
spectrum, average operating time per working day, 2. What is the specified safe working load? high precision?
Capacity and reeving. 3. To what height must the load be lifted? 6. Is horizontal load travel necessary?
4. What is the required lifting speed? 7. How is the hoist to be controlled?

The group is determined from the operating time and load spectrum

The load spectrum Load spectrum Average operating time per day in hours
