How To Increase The Life Of A 30 Ton Chain Hoist?
Jun 16, 2023
Safe operation of chain hoist lifting objects
1. When lifting objects with chain hoists, the binding position of the rigging should be reasonable, and the connection of the rigging should be firm. When binding objects, the edges and corners of the objects and lifting beams should be lined with wood boards or other measures should be taken to prevent the edges from cutting the rigging or lifting Slippage.
2. Before hoisting, the staff should be optimistic about their own escape route, prevent the hook head, rope sleeve from breaking, rebounding and hurting the individual, and prevent the lifting object from falling and hurting people if the rooting point is not firm.
The surrounding personnel who have nothing to do with lifting should be evacuated to a safe position where the rebound of the falling hook head of the workpiece cannot be affected.
3. When hoisting the chain hoist, it is necessary to try the hoist first, that is, slowly pull the zipper to force the rigging and objects, check the lifting point and the force of the rigging objects, and then hoist after there is no problem.
When the object is 100-150mm above the ground, it is necessary to further observe whether there is any abnormal change in the lifting point, rigging and object, and continue to lift if there is no abnormality.
When hoisting, find the center of gravity of the object according to the requirements of the installation site. When the center of gravity is not correct, the object should be put down, adjusted and tied firmly before trial lifting and lifting. It is strictly forbidden to artificially balance the lifting object.
4. During the lifting process, the staff should hold the zipper with their hands to prevent the chain hoist from slipping and causing the object to fall suddenly.
When operating, the lower half of the body should be kept away from the workpiece as far as possible to prevent the workpiece from falling and hurting people.
5. When lifting at multiple points, the operator must cooperate well, and a special person must be commanded in a unified manner to ensure that the workpiece is lifted smoothly. It is strictly forbidden for personnel to lift together with the object.
6. It is strictly forbidden for staff to pass or stay in the lifting area during the lifting process. No one is allowed to extend any part of the body such as hands or feet to places that may be squeezed. Operators are strictly prohibited from working under the lifted objects.
7. The lifting staff should stand on the ground. When the chain hoist is working at a height of more than 2 meters, the staff should fasten their seat belts and stand on a stable scaffold.
8. When chain hoists take root on hydraulic jacks and supports, it is strictly forbidden to use telescopic jacks and lifting supports instead of pulling the hoists to lift objects.

Rules for using chain hoists
1. It is strictly forbidden to overload. It is strictly forbidden to use power other than manpower to operate.
Before use, it must be confirmed that the parts are intact, the transmission part and the lifting chain are well lubricated, and the idling condition is normal. Before lifting, check whether the upper and lower hooks are firmly hung.
It is strictly forbidden to hang heavy objects on the tip and other wrong operations.
2. After the explosion-proof chain hoist has been cleaned and repaired, no-load test should be carried out to confirm that it works normally and the brake is reliable before it can be delivered for use.
The friction surfaces of the brakes must be kept clean. The brake part should be checked frequently to prevent brake failure and the phenomenon of self-falling objects.
3. The lifting chain of the explosion-proof chain hoist should be hung vertically, there must be no wrongly twisted chain links, and the lower hook frame of the double-row chain must not be turned over.
The operator should stand in the same plane as the hand chain wheel and pull the hand chain, so that the hand chain wheel rotates clockwise to make the heavy object rise; pull the hand chain in the opposite direction, and it can slowly descend at noon. When lifting heavy objects, it is strictly forbidden for personnel to do any work or walk under the heavy objects to avoid personal accidents.
4. During the lifting process of explosion-proof chain hoists, no matter whether the weight is rising or falling, when pulling the chain, the force should be even and gentle. Do not use too much force to avoid the chain jumping or snap ring.
If the operator finds that the hand pulling force is greater than the normal pulling force, he should stop using it immediately.
Maintenance method: After use, the gourd should be cleaned and coated with anti-rust grease, and stored in a dry place.
Maintenance and overhaul should be carried out by those who are familiar with the hoist mechanism, to prevent random disassembly and assembly by those who do not understand the performance principle of the machine.

Maintenance of chain hoists
1. The engine oil in the wheel box has been running for 500 hours from the beginning. Please check whether the amount of lubricating oil is sufficient. In the third month after using the 30-ton electric chain hoist, check the lubricating oil regularly. If it is insufficient, add oil.
2. When using the electric chain hoist outdoors, rainproof equipment should be erected.
3. 30 tons electric chain hoist and hand chain hoist. Always keep the parts dry, and please drive the hoist away from the humid area, high temperature area or chemical area after operation to maintain its performance.
