Abstract

A hoist with a lifting device, by way of which a load suspension device connected with the lifting device via a traction mechanism can be raised and lowered, and with a control device which is arranged between the load suspension device and the traction mechanism and includes a housing with a handle for manipulating the load suspension device. Switching members are arranged in the housing for controlling the lifting device, and a high-strength connecting member is fastened in the housing, with the traction mechanism and the load suspension device being fastened to the connecting member. The housing is divided into a mechanical part with the handle for receiving an actuating mechanism for the switching members and into an electrical part for receiving the switching members with the connecting member being arranged between the mechanical part and the electrical part.
