A Nigerian construction equipment supplier based in Lagos contacted our sales team for a 5 ton electric wire rope hoist suitable for installation in their client’s new steel structure workshop. The end-user specializes in fabricating medium-sized steel beams and machine parts, where consistent lifting and positioning of materials is a daily operation. Their production manager required a 5 ton electric wire rope hoist that could operate under moderate workloads while maintaining high efficiency and safety standards in a tropical environment.
After a detailed consultation, our engineers recommended the 5 ton electric wire rope hoist, a compact and durable model perfectly suited for medium-duty lifting tasks. With a lifting height of 4.8 meters, it met the workshop’s requirement for vertical lifting of steel sections and components up to 5,000 kg. The lifting speed of 8 m/min and traveling speed of 20 m/min allowed for smooth material handling across the workshop’s 12-meter bay, ensuring efficient workflow.
To ensure safe operation, the 5 ton electric wire rope hoist featured F-class insulation, a 15 mm wire rope, and a pendant control system for precise load handling. Before shipment, our quality inspection team conducted a full load test to confirm that the 5 ton electric wire rope hoist met all international safety standards. The entire set, weighing 437 kg, was securely packed in a wooden crate and shipped via sea freight to Apapa Port.
Upon arrival in Nigeria, our customer’s installation team easily mounted the 5 ton electric wire rope hoist on an existing I-beam using the adjustable trolley. Within a single day, the equipment was operational, and the customer in Nigeria reported excellent lifting performance, smooth start-stop movement, and low noise.
