What should be paid attention to in daily use of wire rope hoist
Wire rope hoist is a small lifting equipment often used by many enterprises, and has a wide range of applications. With proper operation, there will generally be no safety accidents. But why do some problems occur from time to time? Carefully analyze, these accidents are generally not the problem of the equipment itself, but caused by the lack of regular maintenance of the equipment and improper operation of the operator by the enterprise. In order to avoid these situations, let us introduce some points in the daily use of wire rope hoists that need attention.
When the wire rope hoist was just purchased, it needs to be installed before it can be used. Before the installation work is completed, the equipment must not be powered on. After the equipment is installed, confirm that the installation process is correct. You can run the equipment with a blank car, but you cannot immediately lift heavy objects. When the empty car is running, we should determine several indicators of the equipment through two tests, including static load test and dynamic load test.
After confirming that there is no problem with the indicators, we can officially use the wire rope hoist. In normal use, it must not exceed the rated load, and secondly it cannot exceed the rated closing times per hour. When operating the equipment, the staff can not simultaneously press the two flashlight door buttons that make the equipment run in the opposite direction. When the lifting work is completed, we must cut off the power supply, pull the main switch of the power supply and then leave the equipment.
After using the wire rope and hoist for a period of time, we should regularly overhaul the equipment, including enough lubricant on the equipment. If more impurities are found in the lubricant during the maintenance process, the lubricant should be replaced in time. When lubricating oil, you should use a brush or other related tools, and it is strictly forbidden to apply lubricant directly by hand. In addition, do not suspend heavy objects with wire rope hoist in the air, stop the equipment and then leave. This will not only cause safety hazards, but also deform the equipment parts.
The above are some precautions for daily use of wire rope hoist. It can be seen that these points are trivial, but many operators did not operate according to this procedure, which caused some accidents, which not only damaged the equipment, but also posed a threat to the life and safety of personnel in the working environment. Things related to production safety must not be sloppy.
