Micro electric hoists belong to the category of light and small lifting equipment with relatively small load capacity, but the maximum load capacity is also up to 1 ton. The commonly used micro electric hoist specifications are about 300 kilograms, mainly used for lifting and transporting materials, goods, and equipment. Recently, a netizen inquired about whether the micro electric hoist can be installed on the rescue tripod as a vertical rescue driving device.

The driving devices of the rescue tripod are all hand cranked winches, without electric drive equipment. From this point of view, the answer is already obvious. The driving device of the rescue tripod is not suitable for using micro electric hoists, even if the load and installation are not problems. This is mainly because rescue work is different from cargo lifting. During the rescue process, the hand cranked winch can be used to adjust the lifting speed according to the current state of the trapped person, ensuring that they are in good condition.

The micro electric hoist is different. In addition to the switch being controlled by humans, the speed of the micro electric hoist during operation is not controlled, making it difficult to make appropriate speed adjustments based on the trapped person's physical condition, which can easily cause more serious injuries. Therefore, even though the micro electric hoist is very labor-saving and convenient, it is only suitable for cargo lifting, rescue tripod driving devices, and hand cranked winches are the most suitable.
