Technical description
General
The ALIMAK SC45/30 hoists are construction
hoists for personnel and materials transport. Car
width 1.4 m is fixed.
The hoists have a lifting capacity of maximum
2000 kg up to a lifting height of 200m.
Lifting speed is 36m/min., alt. 60 m/min. with
VFC-operation.
The ALIMAK SC45/30 construction hoist can
be set up with single or dual cars.
The hoist is easily transported by truck, to and
from the
erection site and handled with forklift trucks or
jib cranes on the site.
Regulations
The hoist and its mechanical and electrical
components are designed and dimensioned to
operating conditions on construction site and
fullfil
demands
according
to
local
regulation.The hoists and its components have
been thoroughly tested and conform to national
standards.
Foundation
The foundation is a reinforced concrete slab and
cast in place in accordance with instructions
given under Preparations before installation
and Concrete slab dimensions in this
manual.
A transportable sheet steel foundation or a
precast concrete slab can also be used.
2
Base frame
The bottom mast section is bolted to the base frame, which
incorporates 3 buffer positions to support the enclosure.
The hoist can be used freestanding, bolted to the transportable
sheet steel foundation or the concrete slab.
With an additional buffer support the base frame also incorporates a dual car set up.
3
Ground enclosure
The foundation is enclosed by 2000 mm painting steel
net sections attached to the base frame.
The enclosure is built in modules and can easily be adapted for different lengths
as well as dual car set ups.The panels are fastened with screw/nut, which are the panels simple
and fast securing.
4
Hoist mast
The square mast c/c 450 x 450 mm. The mast is constructed of
tubes and frames of high tensile steel and fabricated in lenghts of
1508 mm. Each section is provided with one or two bolted
rack(s) module 5 and the sections are bolted together with bolts
and nuts.
The four guiding tubes and possibilities with two racks give
dual car set up advantages.
The ties are attached to the frames of the mast sections or alt. to
the rear mast tubes(only at single cage). The other end to special
brackets attached to the wall or slab. The tie length is telescopic
adjustable within different intervals. The ties can also be inclined
from the horizontal. Specifications for each particular mast tie
can be found in chapter H.
Mast sections and mast ties are galvanizing with the
exception of the mast section rack.
Up & down

5
Car
The car is sized to be suitable for ease transport and is
constructed of high quality steel for strength and weight
reduction. The car walls are constructed of perforated steel
sheeting allowing light to enter and also give the operator a
clear view of the hoistway.
CAR
6
As the car roof serves as working platform during
erection, it is provided with safety railing. There is also a
trapdoor in the roof and a ladder in the car to gain entry
to the roof for erection / dismantling purposes.
Erection crane, optional equipment
New type erection crane with manual adjustable jib
equipped with electric winch can be supplied.
7
Drive unit
A compact unit with two pinions engages the rack of
the mast. Each pinion is fitted to a high efficiency spur
gear box driven by a flexible coupling, by a direct start
or frequency controlled, squirrel cage induction motor
with built-in electromagnetic disc brake.
The drive unit is connected to the car by pull rods.
The connection between car and drive unit means that
the hoist is prepared for an overload sensing system
(OSS).
The safety device is completely independent from the
drive unit and installed inside the car with one or two
pinions engaging the rack. The device is actuated by a
centrifugal weight and stops the hoist if normal rated
speed is exceeded.

Control system
Two different systems are available:
a Operator control system with relays and contactors For
DOL drive.
-Operation from the car only by a joystick for travel up
and down. Automatic stop when joystick released.
-Operation from car with joystick with selfholding relays for
contactors.Stop next landing command to be given with
push-button.Needs cam curves at intermediate landings.
b Semi-Automatic control system.
This is a control system for FC drives developed to work
without any landing cams.The position of the hoist
is determined by generated pulses by the encoder attached
to electric motor.
The machine is operated from the hoist by using Up, Down
and Stop Next Landing by push-buttons.This systems
ensures automatically a good landing accuracy.
10
Landing equipment
In the ALIMAKHEK access system mechanically
and electrically, interlocked double-leaf swing doors are
included. Or mechanically locked and electrically
monitored horizontal sliding gates at the landings.
The landing equipment can be installed by
connecting them to special brackets at the
landings, in openings,on projections or facade
scaffoldings. It can also be installed on vertical
scaffold pipes parallel to the mast from the
ground enclosure to the mast top.
The electric interlocking of the landing equipment is
connected to the control system of the hoist (stop
circuit).
The hoist calling is controlled by wireless
communication.
Included electric material is of protection class IP 54
or higher.

Safety equipment
Automatic stop at top and bottom landings
At top and bottom landings, limit cams are mounted on the
mast. These cams activate the limit switches, which automatically stop the hoist. The function for the up and down
limit switches are backed up by a final limit switch with its
own cams at mast top and bottom.This provides extra safety if
nomal limit switch fails.
On CN market is this switch of 3-phase type,other markets
do have 1-phase type.
Below the bottom landing level, close to the hoist mast,
buffer springs are located for the hoist car. The buffer is
designed to stop a descending hoist beyond its normal limit of
travel.
Safety hooks
Heels
Safety hooks
To prevent the hoist from climbing off the mast during
erection or dismantling, or to prevent the pinions from
disengaging the rack in case a counter roller or guide roller
comes off, safety hooks are mounted on the drive unit and on
the car. The safety hooks are placed underneath the drive
pinion of the machinery, preventing the hoist from falling off
the mast should the drive pinion run off the top rack..
Safety Hooks

Door interlocks on hoist and landing doors
Hoist doors/ramps and/or landing doors/bars are all electrically
interlocked. If any of the doors are unlocked or opened, the
hoist will not operate until the door is closed.
A mechanically interlocked car or landing door cannot be
opened unless the hoist has stopped at the respective landing.

Safety device
The hoist has a unique well proven safety device which
smoothly stops the hoist on the mast should normal
driving speed be exceeded.
The safety device has a shaft with a centrifugal weight and a pinion constantly engaged with the
rack on the hoist mast. When the centrifugal weight activates, the brake cone is screwed in against
a brake lining inside the safety housing.The hoist is brought to a smooth stop, and simultaneously
the power to the drive motor is cut off..
In case of guide roller failure there are separate safety hooks provided which prevent the pinion of
the safety device from disengagement with the rack.

slab or in some cases a foundation pit is required.
Concrete slab
A concrete slab is to be made according to the following
instructions, and according to the actual model of hoist
It is important that the mounting holes of the foundation
frame are brought in level with the completed concrete
surface, and that the concrete is vibrated thoroughly
especially around the foundation frame.
It is also important that the finished surface is plane
and horizontal.
The foundation may be made in any of the following
ways, depending upon the finished concrete level
compared with the ground level.

Ground pressure
Max. ground pressure under the concrete slabs is 0.15
MPa provided that the foundation has been reinforced
and built up according to the given instructions.
Should the ground be able to stand higher pressures, it is
possible to increase the load on the foundation. Please
contact ALIMAKHEK for information.
Ground pressure< 0.15MPa.
The ground pressure due to the installation is
calculated according to the following formula:
Pv is the sum of the static and the dynamic load and the
dead weight of foundation in kN. Estimate approx. 24
kN/mfor concrete..

Reaction forces
Maximum reaction force P in the wall anchorage of the tie can
be calculated as follows:
Attachment of ties
The ties are attached to the building by bolts, washers and
nuts into the holes which are drilled at the installation or
embedment sets or other approved suitable wall bracket
attachments.
Cast in place inserts must be installed prior to the hoist
installation in order for the concrete to cure properly and
reach its proper strength. Concrete must be of suitable
strength for calculated loads (See Reaction forces). Care
must be taken in locating the inserts at their proper
location (See type of mast tie).
If other type of bolt is used such as epoxy cast in bolt or
expansion bolt, it is important to choose an approved type
which can take the calculated force in this application
with a
satisfactory safety factor.
Specifications for this type of attachment should follow
the
manufacturers recommendations and be approved by the
governing authority for their use.
Wall brackets can be installed either on slab...

Preparations before installation
To install your rack and pinion hoist as efficiently and safely
as possible and at lowest cost, it is important that the
following preparations are made before the erector is called
and the installation is started.
Permission
Make sure the chosen site of erection meets the
requirements set out by local authorities for safety and
inspection and that their permission, if necessary, to install
the hoist has been obtained.
Erection place
Prepare the installation site so that electric power, light,
lifting equipment and tools are available and there is
adequate access for the lift transporter beware of overhead
obstructions.
If possible, prepare for the installation of ties and landing
accessories such as supports, platforms and railing. Suitable
places for attaching the ties are vaults, balconies or other
concrete or steel structures. See applicable installation
drawing.
Remember that these structures must be strong enough to
absorb the reaction forces of the ties and landing door
assemblies.
All mast sections should be stored on dry firm ground and
as close to the erection place as possible.
Foundation
Prepare the foundation with parts required for fixing the
base frame of the mast. See chapter Foundation in the
manual Technical Description.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure before casting the foundation that the
measurement between the foundation frame and the face of
the hoistway corresponds to the ties to be used.

Arrangement of power supply
Direct On Line (DOL) starting of electric motors results in a
very high starting current. The current must overcome the
resistance in the cables which results in a voltage drop. This
voltage drop occurs not only in the trailing cables, but also in the
power supply cable installed between the jobsite distribution
board and the electric panel B at the base. The total voltage
drop is the sum of the voltage drop in all the cables. The
consequence of the voltage drop is a substantial reduction in the
output torque of the motor.
In order to avoid starting problems it is of the utmost importance
that the main power supply is adequately sized with respect to
the starting current and the voltage drop. The following data
should be noted:
During starting conditions, in the upward direction with
rated load, the voltage drop must not exceed 15% of the
rated voltage when measured at the motor terminals. In the
Base panel, the voltage drop of the incoming power supply
terminals must not exceed 3% of the rated voltage during
the starting conditions.
Once the rated speed is established during upward travel
with rated load, the voltage drop must not exceed 5% of the
rated voltage when measured at the motor terminals. In the
Base panel, the incoming power supply voltage should, in
practice, not drop at all, i.e. not exceed 1 2 % drop..

common types of hoists having 1 or 2 motor drive machinery
with DOL- starting at 400V, 50Hz and 460V, 60Hz.
Note If an earth leakage circuit breaker, ELCB, (ground fault
circuit breaker) is to be used, the trip-out value should be
chosen for equipment protection i.e. 500mA.
Use of 30mA ELCB is not recommended as it continuously
trips due to the motor starting current.

Step-up transformer
Note if a lift/hoist is connected to the main power supply via a
step-up transformer the following must be fulfilled !
DOL operated electric motors must be dimensioned for the
particular step-up transformer.
Check the connection on the primary side of the control
transformer. Reconnect, if necessary, and measure to ensure
the voltage on the secondary side.
All additional equipment connected to outlets must be
dimensioned for the particular step-up transformer. Voltage
level on the 3-Phase outlet will be the same as delivered
from the step-up transformer.

Voltage drop in the power supply
Typical symptoms
The hoist will not start with the full rated load.
The brakes will not lift when starting in the Up-direction.
The contactors oscillate on and off (shatter) when starting
with full load in the Up-direction.
The contacts of the Up and the main contactors are
damaged.
