The wire rope electric hoist is not equipped with a rope guide, which will cause the wire rope not to be arranged in the order of rope grooves, and will be entangled, which will accelerate the wear of the wire rope and lead to rope breakage. Rope guide is the main mechanism to limit the hoisting mechanism of wire rope electric hoist. If there is no rope guide, the lifting limit will be invalid, resulting in the failure of the lifting limit control after the hook rises to the limit position. If the hook is not operated properly at this time, it will continue to control the lifting of the hook, which will cause the hook and the outer cover of the electric hoist drum to jack up and lead to the breakage of the wire rope.
