Two circles 4.5 Upper and Lower Limits The Starke wire rope hoist uses a screw type cam limit switch, which is installed on side plate of drum making it convenient for precise adjustment. The switch has two separate contacts to allow the hoist to slow down upon tripping the first limit and safely stop upon tripping the second limit providing safe load handling.
4.6 Trolley Frame The trolley frame of the hoist consists of the connecting tubes, adjusting rods, mount plates, and end frames. Wiring is installed inside the connecting tube. The size of trolley frame depends on capacity, lifting height, and some other elements of system design. 4.7 Motorized Trolley Motorized trolley includes a squirrel-cage motor and gearbox.
When performing overload test on site, please disable overload limiter. After completion of testing be sure to enable the limiter. If the set point value of overload limiter is marginally different and needs recalibrated, please contact hoist Starke or professional maintenance personnel to reset overload limiter.
4.9 Wire Rope The wire rope is a highly stressed part as well as the most vulnerable part of hoist system.

5.0 Hoist Electrical Controls Power supply requirements for Starke standard wire rope hoists are 460/3/60Hz and drive power is 24V/1/60Hz. The configuration for a standard wire rope hoist and trolley is two speeds, contact your dealer for optional configuration. Our Gen 2.0 hoist systems are now utilizing Danfoss variable frequency drives as standard equipment driving the trolley motor.
7.2 Hoist Lifting Lifting strap or chain attaching points are called out on the hoist trolley frame with decals. Lift the hoist only by the lifting points on the trolley frame or damage will result. 7.2.1 Single Girder Hoists The width between the single girder beam flange and trolley wheels has not been adjusted before delivery.
7.3 System Commissioning 7.3.1 No-load check Check operation of the system with no load before attempting to lift weight 7.3.2 Electrical System • Verify voltage and ampacity of the power supply circuit is in accordance with the hoist system specifications. Also verify proper phasing of power supply as hoist system is equipped with a phase monitor system that will prevent hoist from operating if phasing is incorrect.
7.3.4 Noise In normal use of the hoist system there will be obvious noise created by the operation of the mechanical components that comprise the system. In day-to-day use operators will learn what “normal” noise is as they become accustomed to the systems in operation. If excessive vibrations or loud noises become noticeable it is advisable to stop the use of the hoist system and contact appropriate maintenance personnel to determine the cause and resolution of the issue.
