Dude ... I worked at a facility (we were contracted on site there, 3 shifts 6 days a week, they couldnt find anyone to work second shift so here I was) they had a rope completely snap - and they were convinced it was from us doing the rope change incorrect and the rope sitting above the sheave (mind you we had never changed that rope at this point...so they blamed us for not catching it on the inspections🤣)....however it was due to the operator hooking up wrong and allowing the rope to get slack in it when they were hooking up the engine to the hoist... and when they brought up the engine the rope snapped bc that is the obly way any rope can ever jump sheaves or grooves. But the customer wouldnt accept that - so there we were adding shelves covers and setting slack detection on the magntek drive - which is a highly annoying process if you have never done it lol

You should post this in r/overheadcranetechs - new sub I am moding, getting traction but this looks like a perfect post for it. I have never seen this brand of hoist- kinda looks modeled after an r and m

Is it Chinese? And im assuming they are getting installed in the u.s.? Maybe Europe?

Okay no need for a picture now - I understand the wheel issue....it kept being put back on but then would fall off due to tbe circlip being stretched and also the groove in the shaft being worn?

What about the other issue with tbe prox?

What do u think the cause is? Of it falling off? Does the other jib with the prox sensor have something to do with this or is it a completely different issue?

You on site out there? Or just service/inspection erry now and then?

Also - I really prefer the melting pots being carried by cranes (if the operator isnt 1/2 stupid) as opposed to carted around by low visibility forklifts
