I. Objectives
 Determine the working application of a hydraulic hoisting.
 Familiarization of the components or equipment of a circuit diagram
 Design and draw a circuit diagram for a hydraulic hoist and how its
mechanism of safety works
 Benefits of learning the basic concept of a hydraulic hoist.
II. Introduction

hoist is a device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or

lift-wheel around which rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated,

electrically or pneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its

lifting medium. The most familiar form is an elevator, the car of which is raised

and lowered by a hoist mechanism. Most hoists couple to their loads using

a lifting hook. The most commonly used hoist is an electrically powered chain or

wire rope type. The most common form is the familiar elevator.

Nowadays, many hoists are package hoists, built as one unit in a single

housing, generally designed for ten-year life, but the life calculation is based on an

industry standard when calculating actual life, the ratio of container length to

chassis length is a factor in achieving rated load capacity. This ratio determines

the load angle, and all hook lift hoist systems indicate a recommended range of

body lengths, typically 3–5 ft (914–1,524 mm) difference in length between the

container and the chassis. Container bodies shorter than the recommended length

produce substantially steeper load angles, and consequently lower load rating,

than those of the longest bodies intended for use with a particular hoist.
III. Application
A hydraulic cylinder is used to raise and lower work pieces of varying

weight from a roller track to an inspection station. The extend speed will be half

that of the retract speed. Each work-piece must pass the sensor used for the

inspection process at the same speed.

VI. Functions

Double Acting Cylinder – a cylinder that has a two port at each end by
moving the piston in a extend and retract action

4/2 Way Hand Lever Valve – Is used for the control of hydraulic flow rates
and is actuated manually. Also, it acts as the lever that makes the double
acting cylinder extend and retract. Used for the control of volumetric flow
rates, this valve is actuated manually and engages in three positions.
Characteristic of this valve, apart from its method of actuation, is that port P
and T are connected in the mid-position.

Shut Off Valve – a valve where the oil flows regulate; it has a switch where it
can be off.

Pressure Gauge – an instrument to measure and indicate the pressure or

fluid intensity of the system.

Pressure Relief Valve – it protects the pump by regulating the pressure of

the medium coming to the system and limit the pressure in the system.

Hydraulic Power Pack – it is the power system of the hydraulics; Converts

the primary drive source into a hydraulic fluid flow. It is composed of a pump,
motor, pump, gauge, switch and etc.

Pressure Relief Valve, adjustable-It is a type of safety valve used to control

or limit the pressure in a system

Two-way Flow Control Valve-The valve ensures a constant volumetric flow

rate in the flow direction from A to B, regardless of the load pressure on B. The
oil can flow from B to A via the non-return valve which opens.
VII. Procedure

1.) Lay out the different sizes of hose to be use in the experiment. And even

prepare the pressure release key in case needed

2.) Set up the components based on the circuit diagram. Familiarization of

the components must be applied

3.) Make sure the hose of the pneumatic circuits is snog and tight for safety

purposes.

4.) Connect the A port of the 4/2 control valve in the port of the hydraulic

pump cylinder.

5.) Apply the previous component such as 4/2-way lever the four ports in

the pressure gauge and connect it to the port P of the 4/2 way hand lever

valve just like what is shown from the circuit diagram.

6.) Connect the return port of the 4/2-way valve to the A port of the two-way
flow control valve.

7.) Connect the return port of the pressure relief valve to the return port of
the hydraulic pump. Turn the switch on. Then, control the motion of the
piston cylinder using the two-way flow control valve.

IX. Evaluation

In this experiment, our team design a hydraulic system for a hydraulic

Hoist using a 4/2-way hand lever valve and 2/way control The components

use in this application is the same as the previous components such as

double acting cylinder, 4/2-way hand lever valve, 2-way control valve

pressure relief valve, shut off valve and etc. the mechanism works which

the double acting cylinder is only operated when the 4/2 way hand lever

valve is used to be the direction motion of the piston cylinder moving the

lever to the right makes the piston initial motion to go forward and when

retracts backward moving the lever to the left, the two wat flow control valve

may be used as speed controller of the piston.

XII. Conclusion

Therefore, we conclude that in it constructing a hoisting mechanism

it limits the motion to one direction only moving in a horizontal axis or vertical

axis with the use of the hydraulic system it easy set up the hoisting that

moves forward when the system is turned on and goes backward when the

leer is triggered. And they designed the system with an adjust function,

while familiarizing what are the different components of the hydraulic

hoisting
