The chain plays a crucial role in the use of a chain hoist. Every lifting operation, the chain bears the majority of the pressure and generates the most friction with other components. Therefore, chains are relatively more prone to wear and tear. So, in the daily use of chain hoists, it is very important to maintain and replace the chains properly.

The key to daily maintenance of the chain of a chain hoist is to ensure proper lubrication. Before using the chain hoist, apply lubricating oil to reduce chain wear; After using the chain hoist, it is also necessary to apply grease to prevent the chain from rusting.

While maintaining the chain on a daily basis, good usage habits are also very important, especially avoiding diagonal pulling when using a chain hoist. Diagonal pulling will increase the tension on the lifting chain, increase the friction between the chain and other parts of the chain hoist, and worsen the wear of the chain. Moreover, when the tension on the lifting chain increases, it will also cause the chain to loosen.

The maintenance of the chain of a chain hoist lies not only in daily maintenance, but also in good operating habits. Choosing a higher quality chain hoist will reduce the hassle of chain replacement for you.
