Introduction to the Characteristics and Operating Rules of Running Chain Hoist Products

1. Characteristics of Running Chain Hoists

Compact and Lightweight Design:

Running chain hoists are designed to be portable and easy to handle, making them suitable for use in confined spaces or remote locations.

High Load Capacity:

These hoists can lift heavy loads, typically ranging from 0.5 tons to 32 tons, depending on the model, making them versatile for various industrial applications.

Manual or Electric Operation:

They can be operated manually (using a hand chain) or electrically, providing flexibility based on the task requirements.

Durable Construction:

Made from high-strength alloy steel chains and robust components, they are built to withstand heavy use and harsh environments.

Safety Features:

Equipped with overload protection, emergency stop mechanisms, and robust braking systems to prevent accidents and ensure safe operation.

Low Maintenance:

With few moving parts, these hoists require minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.

Versatility:

Suitable for a wide range of applications, including industrial manufacturing, construction, logistics, and maintenance work.

2. Operating Rules for Running Chain Hoists

Pre-Operation Inspection:

Check the Chain and Hooks: Inspect the chain for cracks, deformation, or rust. Ensure the hooks are secure and undamaged.

Test Braking System: Verify that the braking system and limit switches function properly.

Lubrication: Lubricate moving parts as needed to ensure smooth operation.

Load Capacity: Ensure the load does not exceed the hoist's rated capacity.

Safe Operation Practices:

Avoid Overloading: Never exceed the hoist's rated load capacity, as this can cause equipment failure or accidents.

Proper Lifting Techniques: Ensure the load is balanced and securely fastened before lifting. Avoid side-pulling or oblique lifting, as this can damage the hoist or cause the load to swing.

Clear Work Area: Keep the area around the hoist clear of personnel and obstacles during operation.

No Standing Under Load: Never stand under a suspended load, and ensure the load path is clear of people and equipment.

During Operation:

Start Slowly: Begin lifting the load slowly to ensure stability.

Avoid Sudden Stops: Sudden stops or starts can cause the load to swing, posing a safety risk.

Monitor the Load: Keep a close eye on the load and the hoist during operation to detect any abnormalities.

Post-Operation Maintenance:

Clean and Inspect: After use, clean the hoist and inspect it for any signs of wear or damage.

Store Properly: Store the hoist in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust and corrosion.

Regular Maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance checks to ensure the hoist remains in good working condition.

Emergency Procedures:

Emergency Stop: Familiarize yourself with the location and operation of the emergency stop button.

In Case of Malfunction: If the hoist malfunctions during operation, immediately stop the operation, lower the load (if safe to do so), and inspect the equipment.

Prohibition of Unauthorized Modifications:

Do not modify the hoist or its components, as this can compromise safety and void warranties.

Training Requirements:

Operators must be trained in safe hoist operation, including load handling, emergency procedures, and maintenance.

3. Safety Precautions

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Operators should wear appropriate PPE, such as hard hats, safety shoes, and gloves, during hoist operation.

Load Security:

Ensure the load is properly secured before lifting to prevent it from slipping or falling.

Environmental Conditions:

Avoid using the hoist in extreme weather conditions (e.g., high winds, heavy rain) that could affect safety.

Regular Inspections:

Conduct regular inspections of the hoist, chains, hooks, and safety devices to ensure they are in good working order.
