When hoisting an electric winch, it is necessary to strictly control multiple aspects such as preliminary preparation, selection of hoisting tools, operating standards, safety protection, environmental adaptation, and subsequent inspections to ensure the safe and efficient hoisting process. The following are specific precautions:

1、 Preliminary preparation and evaluation

Equipment inspection:

Before hoisting, a comprehensive inspection of the electric winch is required to confirm its structural integrity, absence of damage or cracks, especially key components such as drums, gears, brakes, etc.

Check the electrical system of the electric winch to ensure that the cables are not damaged, the wiring is secure, and to avoid short circuits or electric shock accidents during the lifting process.

Load assessment:

Accurately evaluate the weight of the electric winch and the dynamic loads during the lifting process, including wind loads, inertial forces, etc., to ensure that the selected lifting tools and equipment can withstand them.

Based on the load assessment results, select an appropriate lifting plan and lifting point to avoid equipment damage or lifting failure caused by local overload.

Site survey:

Conduct a survey of the lifting site to confirm that the ground is flat, solid, and free of obstacles or potholes, ensuring that the lifting equipment can be stably placed.

Check the lifting route to ensure there are no obstacles such as high-voltage lines or buildings, and avoid collisions or electric shock accidents during the lifting process.

2、 Selection of lifting tools and equipment

Lifting straps/wire ropes:

Choose a suitable lifting belt or wire rope based on the weight and shape of the electric winch. The lifting belt should have sufficient load-bearing capacity and wear resistance, and the steel wire rope should be free of broken wires, rust, and other phenomena.

Ensure that the rated load of the lifting belt or wire rope is greater than the weight of the electric winch and has sufficient safety factor.

Hooks and shackles:

Choose hooks and shackles that match the lifting straps or wire ropes to ensure their load-bearing capacity meets the requirements.

Check the wear of the hooks and shackles. If there are cracks, deformations, or severe wear, they should be replaced in a timely manner.

Lifting equipment:

Select suitable lifting equipment based on the weight and lifting height of the electric winch, such as a truck crane, crawler crane, etc.

Ensure that the rated load of the lifting equipment is greater than the weight of the electric winch, and check whether its braking system, limit devices, and other safety accessories are intact and effective.

3、 Lifting operation specifications

Selection of lifting points:

Choose sturdy structures on the electric winch as lifting points, such as frames, brackets, etc. Avoid selecting weak areas or easily damaged components as lifting points.

If additional lifting rings or ears need to be installed on the electric winch, it should be ensured that they are securely installed and have the required load-bearing capacity.

Binding and fixing:

Use lifting straps or wire ropes to securely bind the electric winch, ensuring that it does not slide or tilt during the lifting process.

During the binding process, attention should be paid to avoiding contact between the lifting straps or wire ropes and the sharp edges or protruding parts of the electric winch to prevent cuts or wear.

Slowly lift:

Before lifting, a trial lifting should be carried out to confirm that the electric winch is securely tied and the lifting equipment is operating normally before slowly lifting.

During the lifting process, it should be kept stable, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration, and preventing the electric winch from shaking or colliding with other objects in the air.

Horizontal movement and positioning:

When moving the electric winch horizontally, a traction rope or guide device should be used to control its movement direction to avoid deviation or collision.

After lifting the electric winch to the designated position, it should be slowly lowered and accurately positioned to avoid impact or damage.

4、 Safety protection measures

Personnel protection:

A warning area should be set up at the lifting site to prohibit non operating personnel from entering. Operators should wear personal protective equipment such as safety helmets and safety belts.

During the lifting process, operators should stand in a safe position and avoid standing under the electric winch or the lifting route.

Equipment protection:

Protect the vulnerable parts of the electric winch, such as wrapping sharp edges or protruding parts with soft materials, to prevent damage during lifting.

During the lifting process, attention should be paid to protecting the electrical system of the electric winch to avoid cable compression or breakage.

Emergency preparedness:

Develop emergency plans to clarify possible emergency situations and response measures during the lifting process.

Equip necessary emergency rescue equipment, such as fire extinguishers, first aid kits, etc., and ensure that the operators are familiar with their usage methods.

5、 Environmental adaptation and response

Weather conditions:

Avoid hoisting operations under severe weather conditions, such as strong wind, rainstorm, thunder and lightning. If it is necessary to work in adverse weather conditions, corresponding protective measures should be taken.

When working in high temperature environments, attention should be paid to cooling down lifting equipment and electric winches to prevent performance degradation or damage caused by overheating.

Space limitations:

When conducting lifting operations in confined spaces, the lifting route and work space should be planned in advance to ensure that lifting equipment and electric winches can pass smoothly.

If it is necessary to work in a narrow space, small lifting equipment or other special measures should be taken to ensure the safety of the operation.

6、 Subsequent inspection and confirmation

Equipment inspection:

After the lifting is completed, a comprehensive inspection should be conducted on the electric winch to confirm its structural integrity, no damage or deformation.

Check the electrical system of the electric winch to ensure that the cable connections are secure and undamaged, and that the electrical components are working properly.

Fixed and installed:

Secure the electric winch in the designated position to ensure a secure and stable installation. If it is necessary to use anchor bolts or expansion bolts for fixation, the installation quality should be ensured to meet the requirements.

Connect the power and control wires of the electric winch, ensuring correct and secure wiring to avoid short circuits or electric shock accidents.

Trial operation and acceptance:

Before being officially put into use, the electric winch should be tested for smooth operation, no abnormal noise or vibration.

After the trial operation is qualified, relevant personnel should be organized to conduct acceptance, confirm that the electric winch meets the requirements for use, and handle relevant procedures.
