In this tutorial we explain how to hang loads at height and, by the way, we hang an electric hoist, better known as a hoist, which allows us to lift 125 kg (or 250 kg, if we add an extra pulley). What for? Well, surely for many things but, for now, to experimentally check how much tensile strength the screws that we are presenting to you in our tutorials on fixings have. Throughout the tutorial we analyze the pros and cons of the different screws that we could put in and Juan explains our decision making and the aspects that we have valued to discard the MT type screws and the CH screws. And also why we have finally decided to place this hoist with the THDEX screws from INDEX that are screwed directly into the concrete and do not need to expand to make the fixing. Of course we could do it with chemical anchor, without any problem, but we want to show you new possibilities in our tutorials. In order to hang the electric hoist, we have installed a scaffolding on the set. Juan is going to explain the measures we have taken to work more safely. We start by marking the support on the concrete wall and start drilling with an 8 mm drill bit. We explain how to interpret the data on the technical data sheet of the screw that comes in the packaging. The first thing it tells us is the diameter of the drill bit, a 10 mm drill bit. Then it tells us the depth to which we must insert the drill bit and we have to respect it because, if not, we weaken the concrete support. For these operations we need to use the Worx 20 V hammer. We put a stop on the drill bit so as not to go too deep. The packaging also tells us the thickness of the material that we can hold between the wall and the head of the screw, tfix = 30 mm. It is very important to respect all the parameters that Juan explains to us so as not to reduce our level of safety. We can now place the support. Although it is designed for the machine to be hung on a tube, we are going to adapt it to hang it on the wall. And we tighten the screws with the Worx 20V impact screwdriver, which also works with the Powershare 20 V interchangeable batteries. We place the bar and the support for the upper brace. From here you can see all the steps that must be taken to mount and suspend the hoist on the support. Once placed in its place, as close as possible to the wall, and with all the screws well tightened, we fix the position of the telescopic bar and the upper brace. Juan is going to explain to you how to make the hoist able to load 250 kg by adding another pulley. We have thought of using the elements that we had left over from the support as a clamp and thus have a point to hold the pulley. And now we just have to start it up. Juan explains to you how to operate it once it is plugged into the mains. It has two locking mechanisms, one on the control and another on top, on the device itself. We hope to be able to do many load resistance tests with this hoist and that you can benefit from it. Tell us in the comments below about any of your experiences, whether good or bad, hanging heavy objects from heights. Many thanks in advance!
