  1. A Guide to Pendant Hoist Cables in Heavy Industry

  2. Pendant hoist cables are designed to be used with other crane cables in heavy industrial activities such as mining, quarrying, and building. Pendant Hoist control cables are intended to withstand severe mechanical loads such as torsion, torque, and tension. • Pendant Hoist Cable Specifications Pendant cables are used for control applications, conveying signals to overhead cranes and gantries using push-button controllers. They are employed in overhead crane feeder applications because they provide flexibility and resilience across a wide temperature range of -15°C to +60°C for fixed installations. The PVC-sheathed flexible copper pendant hoist cable has a voltage rating and galvanised steel wire rope that provides suspension support up to a maximum suspended height of 80m and a pulling force of steel core. They are multicore cables with 5 cores or more.

  3. Why Would A Crane Operator Shorten A Pendant Cable?When dealing with extra-long pendant cables, it's not commonplace for crane operators to pick up the slack, loop it, and fasten it with a zip tie as a quick and easy way to get the necessary cable length for operations. This way of shortening a pendant cable is known as a service loop. When completing crane inspections in the field, professionals frequently encounter service loops.Another reason a crane operator may employ a service loop is to store additional slack for later usage in case cable segments or the pendant requires repair. The wires could ostensibly be cut at the cable's base and still have additional length to rejoin a repaired pendant control or at the top to remove sections of damaged cabling, if necessary.

  4. A pendant station is a set of switches that regulate the heavier electrical loads of cranes or hoists. These are also utilised in industrial facilities to regulate conveyor belts and product line equipment. Pendant stations are designed to facilitate lifting and handling applications. These devices may appear basic, but they contain various components such as switches, knobs, and push buttons to monitor the systems. Pendant control stations are available in several series, including wall-mounted, direct control, and command and control machinery. They are divided into two types: push-button pendants and radio-control pendants. The control box trolley serves as the first mobile carrier at the mobile end of a control festoon system. A mobile junction box or fast disconnect connection can be used to connect a push-button pendant to the control box. Pendants are typically supplied with fast disconnects. This allows for a smooth transition from radio control to the standard pendant.
