Electric hoists can indeed be used for group lifting operations, but the specific applicability depends on various factors such as the type, size, load capacity, lifting height, and stability of the electric hoist.

Types and Capacity

Fixed Electric Hoists:

Commonly used in construction sites, factories, and other fixed locations.

Generally designed for single-person or two-person operations due to their structural limitations.

Mobile Electric Hoists:

Suitable for short-term indoor and outdoor operations.

Can accommodate different numbers of people based on their size. Small models may only accommodate 1-2 people, while larger ones can accommodate multiple people.

Factors to Consider

Load Capacity:

Larger hoists typically have higher load capacities and can therefore accommodate more people.

Lifting Height:

Hoists with lower lifting heights may not be suitable for group operations due to space limitations.

Stability:

The stability of the hoist is crucial for group operations. A more stable hoist can safely accommodate more people.

Safety Considerations

Pre-Operation Checks:

Ensure the power supply and wiring are normal to avoid accidents such as circuit shorts.

Check if the load is securely fixed on the lifting platform to prevent it from shifting and causing the platform to tilt.

Operator Positioning:

Operators should stand beside the hoist and operate it using the control panel.

Avoid operating from the platform or away from the control panel.

Observation During Lifting:

Continuously monitor the load's state to ensure it does not move or tilt.

Emergency Measures:

Familiarize yourself with emergency descent procedures in case of power outages.

Regular Maintenance:

Regularly inspect and maintain the hoist's mechanical and electrical components to ensure its safety and reliability.

Specific Applications

Certain types of electric hoists, such as scissor-lift electric hoists, are specifically designed for high-altitude operations and have a stable mechanical structure, a wide operating platform, and high load capacity. These features make them suitable for group operations and provide a larger workspace for high-altitude tasks.
