Operating a running chain hoist safely is crucial to prevent accidents and ensure the longevity of the equipment. Here are some important precautions to follow:

1. Operator Qualifications and Training

Ensure that the operator has the necessary professional skills, experience, and is familiar with the structure, performance, and operation methods of the chain hoist.

Provide regular safety training to operators to enhance their safety awareness and operational proficiency.

2. Pre-Operation Inspection

Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the chain hoist before use, including checking the power supply, grounding, connection of components, and the condition of the chain, sprockets, and brakes.

Ensure that the operation area is clean, well-lit, and free from obstacles.

3. Load Management

Never exceed the rated load capacity of the chain hoist. Overloading can cause equipment damage or even accidents.

Ensure that the load is evenly distributed and the center of gravity is stable during lifting.

4. Safe Operation Practices

Operators should stand in a safe position during operation to avoid injury in case of equipment failure.

Start the chain hoist slowly and observe if it runs smoothly without abnormal noises.

Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration to prevent equipment damage or accidents.

Do not leave the load suspended in mid-air for extended periods.

5. Regular Maintenance and Lubrication

Perform regular maintenance on the chain hoist, including cleaning, tightening loose parts, and replacing worn-out components.

Lubricate the moving parts, such as the chain and sprockets, with appropriate lubricants to reduce friction and wear.

6. Emergency Preparedness

Familiarize operators with the emergency stop procedures and the location of emergency shut-off switches.

Keep the operation area clear of obstacles and ensure that emergency exits are easily accessible.

Have a first-aid kit and fire extinguishers readily available in case of accidents.

7. Prohibition of Unauthorized Use

Only trained and authorized personnel should operate the chain hoist.

Do not allow the chain hoist to be used for purposes other than its intended design.

8. Environmental Considerations

Avoid operating the chain hoist in extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, or high winds, which may affect its stability and safety.

Ensure that the chain hoist is stored in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated area when not in use.
