It is forbidden to overload the use of hand hoist

One of the fundamental rules when using a 1-ton hand chain hoist is to never exceed the rated load capacity. This is an absolute non-negotiable. Exceeding the 1-ton limit can lead to catastrophic consequences, including equipment failure, damage to the load, and serious safety hazards. 

It is the responsibility of the operator to be well aware of the weight of the object being lifted and to ensure that it does not surpass the specified capacity. Strict adherence to the load limit is crucial for maintaining the integrity and reliability of the hand chain hoist. Any temptation to push the boundaries of the rated load should be firmly resisted to safeguard both people and property.
