The use of chain hoists needs to focus on three aspects to avoid potential safety hazards during use. Specifically, which three aspects are explained below.
First of all, the quality of the equipment itself: a qualified chain hoist needs to be free of deformation, corrosion, and rust, and the reverse braking is intact after no-load testing. These are all the places we need to test.
Then, correct operation: There are two types of illegal operations that are strictly prohibited: overloading and diagonal pulling. Overloading can increase the load on various components of the chain hoist, and may cause a fall accident at any time; Diagonal pulling can cause the swing of the lifting target, thereby increasing safety hazards.
The last is the use environment: The use of chain hoists needs to avoid rainy and snowy weather and weak light environments. Rainy and snowy weather not only easily leads to rust on chain hoists, but also affects the safety of lifting operations due to wet and slippery conditions; Under low light conditions, it is difficult for operators to observe the current lifting situation, and thus unable to take correct countermeasures for unexpected situations.
