It is one of the commonly used lifting equipment in factories, mines, ports, warehouses, freight yards, shops, etc. It is a necessary machinery for improving labor efficiency and improving working conditions. Safety accidents sometimes occur in the use of electric chain hoists, so how to avoid safety accidents and ensure the safety of electric chain hoists?

The double-row chain should not be turned over and twisted. When the diameter of the worn part of the chain is reduced by 10% of the original diameter, the chain should be replaced with a new one. The chain must be replaced when plastic elongation reaches 5% of the original length. The chain is severely rusted and should not be used.
