What are differences between auxiliary hoist and whip hoist?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the heavy machinery lingo! So, like, the main difference between an auxiliary hoist and a whip hoist is that the auxiliary hoist is typically used for heavier loads and operates at slower speeds, while the whip hoist is like the speed demon of the hoisting world, moving lighter loads at faster speeds. It's kind of like the tortoise and the hare, but with cranes.

Answer 2

On a large crane, there are usually three hoists; The main hoist, auxiliary hoist, and the whip hoist. The whip hoist is the one attached to the furthest tip of the crane and has the smallest capacity. The Auxiliary hoist has slightly more capacity, and is located between the main hoist and the whip hoist. The main hoist is the biggest hoist on the crane and also determines the maximum weight, the crane can lift.
