Recently, someone inquired about the feasibility of taking an electric hoist to some high points for work? The clear answer given by Crown Airlines to this question is that it is not possible. Some people express confusion. Although electric hoists can be used to quickly reach certain points to improve efficiency, why is it not allowed?
The rated load of electric hoists is generally above the tonnage level, while the maximum weight of the human body is only about 200 pounds. There is no such thing as overloading operation, so why not? The reason why electric hoists cannot be used to lift people is mainly due to the existence of significant safety hazards. It cannot be denied that electric hoists have safety hazards for both loading and carrying people, but the losses caused by personal injury are much higher than those caused by heavy objects falling.
If the electric hoist suddenly malfunctions or loses power while the human body is lifting the hook with both hands, it can only be suspended in mid air. In this situation, the arm strength will not be supported for a long time, and the situation is very dangerous. Therefore, workers must not ride the electric hoist.
