<p>The proposed hoist apparatus (12) comprises a load engaging arrangement (16) which is configured to hold and at least one of lift and lower a load upon application of a lifting force by said hoist apparatus (12) to the load engaging arrangement. The hoist apparatus (12) further comprises tensioning apparatus (18) which is mechanically coupled to the load engaging arrangement (16). The tensioning apparatus (18) is configured to selectively apply a tensioning force to the load engaging arrangement (16) as the load engaging arrangement is being at least one of lifted and lowered, the tensioning force being oppositely directed to the lifting force.</p> |
