Hand chain hoist precautions

Chain hoist is the most important tool in powerless lifting operation. The lifting weight generally does not exceed 10T, the maximum can reach 20T, and the lifting height
generally does not exceed 6m.

The material of the shell of the chain hoist is high-quality alloy steel, which is sturdy and wear-resistant. When the chain hoist lifts the heavy object upwards, pull the manual
chain clockwise and the chain sprocket to rotate, and pull the pulling chain when descending, the brake will be  separated from the brake pads, the ratchet wheel is stationary
under the action of the pawl, and the axis drive the lifting sprocket to run in the opposite direction, thereby lifting and lowering the load smoothly.

Today we're talking the precautions of how to use the chain hoist correctly.

1. Before operating the chain hoist, we must check each part and component in detail, including each link of the chain, and use it only in good condition.

2. Do not overload the chain hoist.

3. Make sure that the objects are hanging vertically and there's no knot of the chain.

4. The direction of the pulling chain must be same with the wheel.

5. It is strictly forbidden to pull diagonally.

6. When pulling, keep the force steady, when find that pulling is difficult, check the cause in time, do not pull and add force any more, which will  break the chain or pin.

7. When using a tripod, the triangle must be kept a same distance, and  a rope is needed yo keep the cradles stable. When the rope is on the ground, care should be
taken to prevent the operator from falling over.

8. The lifting height must not exceed the rated length to prevent the chain from breaking.
