See full text

A hoisting system is disclosed which includes a hoisting drum around which two hoisting ropes are wound in respective hoist rope grooves. The hoisting ropes are secured to the hoisting drum at one end, and extend down to a suspended device, such as an elevator, or a crane hook. The hoisting drum also includes a cable groove, which is located between the two hoist rope grooves. An electrical cable is secured at one end to the hoist drum, is wound around the hoist drum in the cable groove, and extends down to the suspended device. A slip-ring assembly establishes an electrical connection to the cable, so as to permit power to be supplied to the suspended device.
