Disclosed is an apparatus, system, and method for sensing the current supplied to a motorized hoist for raising a maintenance platform and providing an estimate of the operating status of the motor, for example, as stopped, starting, stalled or operating as expected. In various embodiments, measures of voltage and current may be used to determine the operating condition of the hoist and to estimate the magnitude of the applied load. Unintended modes of operation can then be determined so that the conditions can be indicated to the operator and protective measures taken.
A restraint device is disclosed that limits the movement of the cable or rope relative to the traction, thus reducing or eliminating the popping noise associated with the cable or rope snapping back against the traction sheave. In one embodiment, the restraint device comprises a molded component that is fitted to encompass the region of the sheave where separation of the wire rope from the sheave is most likely to occur. The restraint device may be mounted so that it is removable and replaceable with minimal dismantling of the hoist containing the sheave. The restraint device may be reversible so that one restraint device may by used for at least two cycles before being replaced. Indication of the need for replacement may be provided by including a second color material at the depth where wear reaches the allowable limit, thereby providing a visual signal to initiate replacement as seen during service.
In various embodiments, an apparatus is disclosed comprising a platform, a hoisting machine mounted on the platform, and a rigging operable to raise and lower the elevator platform, said rigging passing through a fairlead, said fair lead stabilizing said elevator platform to a single location proximate a top of said elevator platform, said fairlead comprising two separable parts wherein said separable parts can be placed around said rigging without accessing an end of said rigging. Such a fairlead improves the serviceability of the equipment and reduce down time for replacement of a worn or damaged fairlead.
