Hoist Capacity:-
The hoist capacity shall be determined by taking into consideration the Iollowing Iorces
which might be required to overcome:
a) Weight oI the gate along with all its components including the weight oI wire rope and its
attachments and ballast, iI any;
b) All Irictional Iorces comprising oI
1) Wheel Iriction,
2) Guide Iriction, and
) Seal Iriction including Iriction due to initial interIerence;
c) Any hydrodynamic load, like downpull/upliIt Iorce, etc;
d) Silt and ice load wherever encountered;
e) Weight oI liIting beam, iI used; and
o) Any other consideration speciIic to a particular site.
The worst combination oI the above Iorces, during either lowering cycle or raising cycle,
shall be considered. The hoist capacity thus arrived at shall increased by 20 percent to cater
Ior the reserve hoist capacity.
The usual operating speed Ior such hoist shall be 300 to 700 mm/min. However, higher
values may be adopted depending upon the requirements.
Wire Rope:-
Wire rope diameter shall be decided by maximum rope tension which is calculated by using
pulley eIIiciency. The wire rope shall bemade Irom improved plough steel, galvanized ( iI
required ), Lang`s lay and Iibre core or normally oI 6 x 36 or 6 x 37 construction and shall
conIorm to 1S-2266. The breaking strength oI wire rope, shall be calculated on the basis oI
IS- 2266. The minimum Iactor oI saIety based on minimum breaking strength and saIe
working load oI the wire rope shall be as given in Table1.
S1 No. Operating Condition Minimum Factor oI SaIety

1 Normal operation condition 6
2 Breakdown torque condition 3
3 For counterweight suspension 5

Drum:-
The grooved drum shall be oI such a size that normally there will not be more than one layer
oI rope on the drum when the rope is in its Iilly wound position unless speciIied. The length
oI the drum shall be such that each lead oII rope has minimum two Iull turns on the drum
when the gate is at its lowest position, and one spare groove Ior each lead oII the drum when
the gate is at its highest position. The drum may be Ilanged at ends. The Ilanges shall project
to a height oI not less than two rope diameters above the rope. A spur gear secured to the
drum may be regarded as Iorming one oI the Ilanges.
The lead angle.( Ileet angle ) oI the rope shall not exceed 5 or1 in 12 on either side oI helix
angle oI groove in the drum.
The drums shall be made Irom one oI the Iollowing materials:
a) Cast iron conIorming to IS21 0,
b) Cast steel conIorming to IS 1030, and
c) Mild steel plates conIorming to |S 2062.
NOTE Use oI cast iron shall be limited to small capacity hoists only.

Strength of drum
The drum shall be strong enough to withstand the crushing as well as the bending. The
crushing strength oI drum shall be calculated by the Iollowing Iormula:
C
t
%59
where
C
t
compressive stress, in N/mm2;
K coeIIicient which depends upon the number oI layers oI rope over the drumand may be
taken Irom Table 2;
T tension on one wire rope in N;
P pitch oI scoring or centre to centre distance between adjoining grooves, in mm; and
t thickness oI drum.
NOTE The minimum thickness oI drum shall not be less than 16 mm in case oI cast steel
and 20 mm in case oI cast iron.
rooves on Drum
The rope drum shall be machine-grooved and contour at the bottom oI grooves shall be
circular over an angle oI at least 120. The radius oI groove shall be 0.53 times the diameter
oI rope rounded oII to next Iull millimeter. The depth oI groove shall not be less than 0.35
times the diameter oI the rope.
The grooves oI the drum shall be so pitched that there is a clearance oI not less than the
Iollowing values between adjacent turns oI rope:
a) 1.5 mm Ior ropes up to and including 12mm
diameter,
b) 2.5 mm Ior ropes over 12mm and including
30 mm diameter, and
c) 3.0 mm Ior ropes over 30 mm diameter.
Diameter of Drum
The minimum pitch diameter oI the drum shall be 20 times the diameter oI rope oI 6/36 or
6/37 construct ion.

Motor is designed as per IS-325.
Column and platIorm shall be designed as per IS-800.
