When hoisting with European-style wire rope electric hoists, it is crucial to pay attention to the following aspects to ensure safety and efficiency:

1. Pre-operation Inspection

Component Check: Before use, thoroughly inspect the wire rope, hook, limiters, and electrical systems for damage or wear. Ensure the hook is securely fastened and rotates freely.

Load Verification: Confirm the load weight does not exceed the hoist's rated capacity. Overloading can lead to equipment failure or accidents.

Environmental Check: Ensure the operating area is clear of obstacles, and the temperature is within the hoist's range (-25°C to +40°C).

2. Safe Operating Practices

Avoid Side Pulling: Do not hoist loads at an angle, as this can cause the wire rope to derail or the hoist to tip over.

Prohibit Hand Placement: Never place hands between the wire rope and the load during lifting to prevent crushing injuries.

Limit Remote Control Range: Use the remote control within 15 meters of the hoist. If leaving the area, press the emergency stop and turn off the remote to prevent accidental activation.

Monitor Obstacles: Continuously check for obstacles in the hoist's path during operation. Stop immediately if any are detected.

3. Load Handling

Secure Load: Ensure the load is firmly secured with proper slings or chains. Use protective padding at sharp edges to prevent wire rope damage.

Control Lifting Speed: Avoid sudden starts or stops to prevent load swinging or equipment stress.

Prevent Hanging Loads: Do not leave loads suspended in the air when the hoist is not in use, as this can cause permanent deformation of components.

4. Limit Switch and Safety Device Usage

Limit Switch Adjustment: Properly adjust the upper and lower limit switches to ensure the hook stops automatically at the correct positions. Do not rely on limit switches for routine stopping.

Emergency Stop: Familiarize yourself with the emergency stop button location and use it immediately in case of malfunction or danger.

Safety Device Integrity: Regularly check safety devices (e.g., overload limiters, brake systems) to ensure they function correctly.

5. Maintenance and Lubrication

Regular Inspection: Conduct weekly checks on the hoist's main components, including wire ropes, hooks, and brakes. Replace worn parts promptly.

Lubrication: Apply clean, high-quality lubricant to the wire rope and moving parts every two months. Avoid using contaminated or dirty lubricants.

Professional Maintenance: Have qualified personnel perform annual maintenance and safety inspections as required by local regulations.

6. Operator Training and Compliance

Certified Operators: Ensure operators are trained and certified in hoist operation, understanding the equipment's limits and safety procedures.

Follow Regulations: Adhere to the "Eleven Prohibitions" for hoist operation (e.g., no overloading, no side pulling) and other relevant safety standards.

Clear Work Area: Keep non-operators out of the hoisting zone and use warning signs to mark dangerous areas.

7. Post-operation Procedures

Power Off: Turn off the main power switch after use to prevent accidental activation.

Secure Storage: Park the hoist in a designated safe area, away from moisture and extreme temperatures. If used outdoors, protect it with a rain cover.

Documentation: Maintain records of inspections, maintenance, and incidents for future reference and compliance purposes.
