Safety Precautions For Electric Hoist

1. The electric hoist must be operated by a dedicated person, and the operator must fully understand the structure and performance of the electric hoist, and abide by the safe operation regulations

2. The working environment temperature of the electric hoist is -25～+40℃

3. Electric hoist is not suitable for places full of corrosive gas or relative humidity greater than 85%. It cannot replace explosion-proof hoist. It is not suitable to lift molten metal or toxic, flammable and explosive materials.

4. Before lifting, check the mechanical and electrical systems to ensure that the hook is free of cracks, the wire rope is constantly broken, the upper and lower limit actions are sensitive, and the brake has good braking performance.

5. Make sure that the wedge and the rope clamp are installed firmly, and there should be no foreign matter on the running track of the electric hoist.

6. The electric hoist operator should stand in a safe position. Concentrate, pay close attention to the movement status of the hoisting parts and the condition of the personnel on the hoisting site. After safety confirmation, insist on "jogging" to start the electric hoist

7. Commanders and hookers should stand in an obvious and safe position. When the wire rope needs to be held by hand, push with the palm of the hand; when hooking, the hand should hold the outside of the hook. It is strictly forbidden to put hands and feet between ropes and hanging objects to prevent crushing hazards.

8. When lifting, the hanging objects should be tied firmly, the center of gravity should be stable, and pass on a safe route. It is strictly forbidden to pass heavy objects over the head. For high-altitude operations, a warning area should be set up under the hanging objects and guarded by special personnel.

9. The electric hoist wire rope should be wound neatly on the reel. When the hook is placed in the lowest position, the steel wire rope safety loop on the reel shall not be less than 2 times, and the pressure plate, wedge iron, and rope clamp are complete and firm.

10. Hand-operated switches, hoist cables, etc., should be well insulated, the cables should not be exposed, and the operating buttons should be sensitive and reliable.

11. When hoisting, ensure that the hoisting site is unblocked, clean and free of debris. Due to the failure of the heavy object, it is necessary to take emergency measures to place the heavy object in an area where there are no people.

12. When lifting heavy objects, it must be lifted vertically. It is strictly forbidden to pull heavy objects diagonally or use them as a dragging tool, and insist on "ten no hanging".

13. After the work is completed, the electric hoist should stop at the designated position, the hook should be raised, and the power supply should be cut off.

Tips: Different application environments should choose the correct electric hoist, which is a prerequisite for safety.
