It is absolutely not advisable to stop the electric hoist using a limiter

The vast majority of electric hoists are equipped with limit devices. The purpose of installing limit devices on electric hoists is to ensure the safety of lifting operations. Its working mode is that when the heavy object is lifted beyond the safe range, the limit device will be triggered, thereby cutting off the power supply and ending the operation.

Because electric hoists are equipped with this device, some people no longer use switch controllers to save trouble, but rely on the limit device of the electric hoist to cut off power as the switch system of the electric hoist. This approach is extremely undesirable because the limit device and travel switch of the electric hoist are two concepts, one is automatically triggered and the other requires manual control.

If the frequent shutdown of the electric hoist relies on the trigger of the limiter, using the limiter as a travel switch, it will inevitably cause great damage to the interior of the electric hoist, thereby affecting its service life. Therefore, when using the electric hoist, everyone must pay attention.
