Emergency Rescue:

Used in disaster relief and emergency situations to lift heavy debris or equipment.

3. Operating Rules

Pre-Operation Inspection:

Check the chain for cracks, wear, or deformation.

Ensure the hand chain or motor operates smoothly without jamming.

Verify that the load hook, safety latch, and braking system are in good condition.

Ensure the lifting point is secure and capable of supporting the load.

Safe Operation Practices:

Never exceed the rated load capacity. Overloading can cause equipment failure or accidents.

Avoid side-loading or uneven lifting, as this can cause the hoist to tip or the chain to jam.

Do not lift loads above personnel and ensure a clear working area to prevent accidents.

Use proper lifting techniques, ensuring the load is balanced and securely fastened.

Maintenance and Inspection:

Regularly lubricate moving parts to prevent wear and corrosion.

Inspect chains, hooks, and gears for damage or deformation. Replace worn-out components immediately.

Test the braking system and overload protection devices periodically to ensure reliability.

Storage and Maintenance:

Store in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust and damage.

Apply anti-rust oil to the chain and other metal parts before long-term storage.

3. Operating Rules for Running Chain Hoists

Pre-Operation Checks:

Inspect the chain for cracks, deformation, or rust.

Test the braking system and limit switches to ensure proper function.

Verify that the load capacity does not exceed the hoist's rated capacity.

Safe Operation Practices:

Avoid side-pulling or oblique lifting to prevent chain jamming or breakage.

Do not leave suspended loads unattended; secure the hand chain when pausing.

Use proper lifting techniques (e.g., centered loads, no sharp edges on chains).

Maintenance Requirements:

Lubricate moving parts regularly to prevent wear.

Inspect chains for cracks or deformation before use.

Store hoists in dry, corrosion-free environments to extend service life.

2. Application Scale

Industrial Manufacturing:

Used in assembly lines, workshops, and warehouses for material handling and equipment installation.

Construction Sites:

Used for equipment installation, maintenance, and material handling.

Construction Sites:

Used for equipment installation, material handling, and equipment relocation.

Maintenance and Repair:

Used for lifting heavy machinery or components during maintenance or overhaul.

3. Operating Rules

Pre-Use Inspection:

Check the chain for cracks, deformation, or rust.

Ensure the hand chain is flexible and free of tangles.

Verify that the brake system, hooks, and safety devices function properly.

Load Capacity Compliance:

Never exceed the rated load capacity. Use test lifts with small heights and short strokes before full-scale lifting.

Safety Features:

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

2. Application Scale

Industrial Manufacturing:

Used for lifting and moving heavy machinery, components, or raw materials in factories.

Construction Sites:

Employed for lifting construction materials, equipment, or debris at construction sites.

Logistics and Warehousing:

Facilitates the movement of goods in warehouses or distribution centers.

Applied in lifting heavy machinery or equipment in mining or Energy Sectors, e.g., probit y x1 x2 x3 (where x1, x2, x3 represent control variables such as region, industry, and advertising duration.

Logistics and Warehousing:

Used for loading and unloading goods in warehouses or distribution centers.

2. Operating Rules for Running Chain Hoists

Pre-Operation Inspection:

Check the chain for twists, cracks, or excessive wear.

Ensure the hook is secure and undamaged.

Test the braking system and limit switches.

Safe Operation:

Do not exceed the rated load capacity.

Avoid sudden starts or stops to prevent load swing.

Keep a safe distance from the load during operation.

Maintenance:

Regularly lubricate moving parts and inspect for wear.

Replace damaged chains or hooks immediately.

Store the hoist in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust.

Prohibition of Overloading:

Never exceed the rated load capacity to avoid accidents.
