GENERAL. which the mechanism is in operation, which is anytime the equipment is in motion. The Class of Operating Time is determined by calculation ofYALE "Global King" electric hoists are wire rope and drum type hoists the average daily operating time (average daily use):that are manufactured with an integral trolley. These hoists are all lowheadroom models with the rope drum and upper block or dead end Where:supported on opposite sides of the beam, by the trolley frame. There t = Average Daily Operating Time (hr/day)are three basic frame sizes, each with two standard lifts. The "B" Framehandles capacities up to 5 tonne, the "C" Frame handles up to 10 tonne H = Average Hoist Height (ft)and the "D" Frame handles up to 15 tonne. The "B" Frame has anintegral trolley with three different flange width ranges available: 4 5/8" N = Number of Cycles Per Hour (cycles/hr)through 8", 8-1/8" through 14" and 14-1/8" through 20" with a maximum T = Daily Working Time (hr/day)flange thickness of 1-5/8". The "C" Frame integral trolley has a flangewidth range of 6" through 20", with the same range breaks and flange V = Hoisting Speed (ft/min)thickness allowance as the "B" Frame above. The "D" Frame integraltrolley has a flange width range of 8" through 14" and 14-1/8" through 2xHxNxT20" with a maximum flange thickness of 1-3/4". The hoist motor is2-speed with a 4:1 ratio between high and low speeds, as standard. t=The motor driven trolley has two available speeds with 1, 2 speed, V x 60or variable frequency control. Load SpectrumThe 2 part reeved hoist has the same three basic frame sizes as stated Load Spectrum indicates the extent of which the mechanism is subjectedabove. Each frame size has one basic 80" standard lift. The B" frame to maximum stresses (full capacity lifts) or whether it is subject to smallerhandles capacities up to 2-1/2 tonne, the C" frame handles capacities loads only. Use the charts below to estimate your load spectrum. Forup to 5 tonne and the D" frame handles capacities up to 7-1/2 tonne. an exact means of calculating your load spectrum, refer to FEM 9.511 "Classification of Mechanisms".The trolley adjustment range for the 2 part reeved hoist is as follows.The B" frame flange width range is 4-5/8" through 6", 6-1/8" through12" and 12-1/8" through 18". Maximum flange thickness is 1-5/8".The C" frame flange width range is 4-5/8" through 6", 6-1/8" through12", 12-1/8" through 18" and 18-1/8" through 24". Maximum flangethickness is 1-5/8".The D" frame flange width range is 4-5/8" through 6", 6-1/8" through12" and 12-1/8" through 18". Maximum flange thickness is 1-3/4".Throughout this manual, you will see references to the S2" and S4"frame size hoists. If you are unsure about which frame type you have,count the number of rope falls that are supporting the lower block orsee section 5-7 rope reeving.
1-2. BASIC CONSTRUCTIONYALE "Global King" hoists consist of a rugged steel frame, madefrom structural tubing, which houses a lifting drum and serves as thesuspension means for the rated hoist load. An aluminum gearcase,attached to one end of the drum frame, houses a triple-reduction,helical gear train. Applying power to the gearcase is a 2-speed, AChoisting motor with a 4:1 speed ratio coupled with a 200% torque DCbrake. High strength wire rope and a covered lower sheave block actas the load carrying means. Standard equipment includes a rope guide,a rotary-geared limit switch to limit hook travel in both up and downdirections and an overload capacity limit switch. An optional blockoperated limit switch can be used to limit the upward travel of the lowerblock. An integral trolley, consisting of a 2-speed AC motor and a sealedworm reducer, applies torque to the trolley wheels through a cross-shaftand pinion arrangement, which provides traverse motion to the hoist. Asingle NEMA 4/12 control enclosure houses both the hoist and trolleyelectrical system controls. A push button control station (purchasedseparately) for operating the hoist is suspended on a wire strain cableattached to the hoist.

3 Part No. 11353399Example: 2-2. INSTALLING HOISTAn application requires that a hoist be used to repeatedly lift and movesmall to medium size loads, but occasionally will be required to lift heavyloads equal to 5 metric tonne. This hoist will be operated daily for asingle 8-hour shift and will be required to perform 15 lifting cycles perhour. The average height, which the load is lifted, is 18ft at a desiredspeed of 20ft/min.The average daily operating time can be calculated from the above TRAVERSE SET SCREWS
The description of the example application implies that the load spectrumis likely an L1 or L2. Choosing an L2 load spectrum factor and using thecalculated average daily operating time, one can determine from the"Classification of Mechanisms" table above, the duty classification forthis application is 2m for a 5 metric ton rated hoist.For a more thorough explanation of the determination of mechanism Figure 2-1. Trolley Wheel Spacing ("B" & "C" Frame Shown)classification, refer to FEM 9.511 "Classification of Mechanisms".Your YALE "Global King" hoist was designed to meet the duty OPEN-END BEAM:classifications as described above.

Also, the electrical conduit/cable must not be constrained when attempting to adjust the trolley sides, in or out.SECTION II - INSTALLATION The trolley width is adjusted by loosening the jam nuts on the traverse drive side of the threaded rods at each end of the hoist.

After adjustingonto beam by adjusting appropriately for the flange width, connect the trolley to the proper width, tighten all adjusting nuts and setscrews,to electrical service and perform pre-operation tests and checks. and re-secure the electrical conduit/cable. Verify that the geared wheels mesh properly with the traverse drive pinions. Using proper equipment, carefully lift the hoist and install on the end of the beam. Lubricate the wheel gear and pinion (WG, Section IV, Paragraph 4-5). When hoists are adjusted or repaired in the field, all set screws must return to the original settings from the manufacturer. This is done by following the below instructions: Only qualified personnel with proper supervision shall install the hoist on the monorail and perform the final 1)Apply Loctite 242 to the threads and install the setscrews back pre-operation inspection. into the proper location 2)Tighten setscrews for the traverse pinion gear down onto the key and shaft to 70 in-lbs before beginning the use of the hoist

TAGOUT PROCEDURE BEFORE REMOVING COVER OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT. CLOSE-END BEAM: For trolleys which are to be mounted along the span of a beam not having open ends, the trolley must be adjusted in the same manner as described above to a width that allows clearance between the axle ends and the beam flange. Using proper lifting equipment, the trolley and hoist must then be lifted to the beam where it is to be installed. Once in position, adjust the spacing between the trolley wheel flanges to be 3/16"-1/4"" greater than the exact width of the beam flange (See Figure 2-1). After tightening all adjusting bolts, set screws, and all electrical conduit/cable clamps, carefully set the trolley on the beam. Lubricate the wheel gear and pinion (WG, Section IV, Paragraph 4-5).

Hoists are shipped from the factory without an exterior coating of grease on hoisting cable. It is recommended that the cable be thoroughly coated at installation and kept well lubricated with CL (Paragraph 4-7).
4-6. LUBRICATION OF ROPE GUIDE a)Maintenance. The rope guide is made of a molded self-lubricated reinforced nylon material. It is lubricated prior to installation at the factory and requires only periodic inspection. (1) Periodically re-grease with MPG (Paragraph 4-7) by applying grease to the leading edge of the guide and rope drum. (2) Every 6 months, the rope guide should be removed per Section V, Paragraph 5-5, cleaned and inspected. When reassembled, the rope guide should be thoroughly greased with MPG (Paragraph 4-7) and the hoist run up and down to lubricate bothFigure 4-2. Gearcase Width Illustration the drum and the wire rope.
e)Refill through filler hole to proper level (bottom of oil level plug hole) using GCOH (Paragraph 4-7). The amount of oil required depends on the overall size of the gearcase; three sizes are used for "Global King" hoists. To determine size and amount of oil to add, measure the width of hoist gearcase (see Figure 4-2). The "B" Frame measures 9-3/4" wide and requires approximately 5 quarts of oil. The "C" Frame measures 12-1/2" and requires approximately 11 quarts of oil. The "D" Frame measures 17" and requires approximately 12 quarts of oil.
