FEM Standards for hoist and cranes

FEM standards for hoists and cranes based on one of the European hoist and crane standards, such as DIN STANDARDS (Germany), BSI STANDARDS (United Kingdom), CEN STANDARDS, and so on.

  • The FEM (Federation Europeenne de la Manutention) has established material handling and lifting hoist and crane equipment standards. The Federation Europeenne de la Manutention (FEM; www.fem-eur.com) has a number of key ones:
  • FEM 1.002 Heavy Lifting Equipment Illustrated Terminology FEM 9.811 Rope and Chain Hoists – General Specifications
  • FEM 9.511 Classification of Mechanisms for the Design of Series Hoist and Crane Lifting Equipment
  • FEM 9.661 Dimensions and Design of Rope Reeving Components - Rules for the Design of Series Hoist and Crane Lifting Equipment
  • FEM 9.683 Hoist and Travel Motor Selection FEM 9.852 Power Driven Series Hoist Mechanisms, Standardized Test Procedure for Classification Verification FEM 9.755 Measures for Achieving Safe Working Periods for Motorized Serial Hoist Units (S.W.P.) FEM 9.751 Power Driven Series Hoist Mechanisms, Safety
  • FEM 9.901 Design Rules for Series Lifting Equipment and Cranes Using Series Lifting Equipment

Low Headroom Chain Hoist

European style v.s. General type

A new form of electric chain hoist is the low headroom hoist. In terms of hoist structure and use, it has numerous benefits over a standard electric chain hoist. The key differences are shown in the table below for your convenience

On design concept of low headroom chain hoist

Design conception of low headroom chain hoistcomes from Europe.

Design conception of general electric chain is from Taiwan, China

Modularization v.s Integreated design

  • Modularization - The fem standard electric hoist's motor, reducer, and electric equipment are all separate, allowing the wearing parts, such as the conductive frame, to be easily replaced.
  • Integrated design -Wearing parts can't be replaced due to the integrated design, hence the complete mechanism must be replaced.

Configuration of low headroom chain hoist

European style low headroom chain hoist:

  • RUD/FEC chain, which is made of titanium alloy and does not require oiling.
  • Gear-grinding machining with high precision and a large bite force.

General low headroom chain hoist:

  • Chain fall of general low headroom hoist is made of general steel, widely used in condition which has no high requirements of the chain fall .
  • Gear of the electric hoist is used in light duty lifting requirement.

Noise during hoisting operation

  • European style low headroom chain hoist : Smooth lifting, low noise
  • General low headroom chain hoist: Loud noises, lifting and sloshing

Hoisting speed of low headroom chain hoist

  • European style low headroom chain hoist: Lift with double speed 4/1 m/min, 8/2 m/min, protecting the motor and ensure safety.
  • Lift with single/ double speed

Travelling speed of electric chain hoist

Both of the two types of low headroom hoists can be designed with single or double travelling speed .

Working classof low headroom chain hoist

  • European style low headroom chain hoist: Max working grade of fem standard low headroom chain hoist is M8, continue working for 48 hours.
  • European style low headroom chain hoist: Working grade of general electric chain hoist is M3 ~ M7.

Lifting capacity of low headroom chain hoist

  • The max lifting capacity of the European standard low headroom chain hoist can be 50 tons, the lifting height is unlimited.
  • The capacity of the genral use chain hoist is usually up to 35 ton but customized design are available.

Chain pocket of low headroom chain hoist

  • When the lifting height of European style low headroom chain hoist is < 20m, the chain pocket is made of plastic. When the lifting height of European type low headroom chain hoist is >20m, the chain pocket is steel.
  • The pocket of the general electric chain fall hoist is cloth.

Safety devices of anti-slip chain

  • European style low headroom chain hoist adopts the Anti-slip chain: if the static load exceeds 1.25 times the rated lifting capacity, the chain will slip and the hoist will not be able to be lifted, ensuring the hoist's safety
  • General tyle low headroom chain hoist is not adopt the anti-slip chain.

Low headroom design

  • European style low headroom chain hoist: Low headroom can be as low as 200mm (the distance from i-beam bottom to the hook center) . Super low headroom chain hoist can reach 100-150mm.
  • General style low headroom chain hoist: Low headroom is 350-400mm

With double hook design

  • The fem style low headroom electric chain hoist's two hooks can raise concurrently, with mechanical control and zero error.
  • For the general style low headroom chain hoist, the coordinators are in charge of the two lifting hooks, which must lift both sides at the same time.

How to select the FEM electric chain hoist

The following factors must be considered while choosing a European style low headroom chain hoist.

Base of select European style low headroom chain hoist

  • Choose a load spectrum type.
  • Compare your average operating time per day value (t) to the table's limits by following the load spectrum to the right, across the table.
  • Stop when your estimated value (t) is in the middle of the range.
  • To determine your hoist group, duty factor, and maximum starts per hour, move down that same column.

Customized low headroom chain hoist for your applicaiton

How to select the right low headroom chain hoist for your application? How to get the price of the electric chain hoist for your lifting? The following parameters are needed to customized your low headroom chain hoist:

  • Load Capacity of low headroom chain hoist = _____ kg
  • Hoisting speed of low headroom chain hoist = _____ m/min
  • Average hoisting height of low headroom chain hoist= _____ m
  • Number of work cycles of low headroom chain hoist = _____ /h
  • Daily working time of low headroom chain hoist = _____ h
  • Load spectrum of low headroom chain hoist: _____
