How To Operate Electric Chain Hoist?

Released on Nov. 22, 2024

The electric chain hoist is a high-performance, stamped steel housing that is lightweight and durable. The high-strength safety hook can withstand unexpected overloads without breaking, only gradually deforming. There are limit switches for lifting and lowering, which make the motor stop automatically, preventing the chain from extending beyond the limit and ensuring safety. The limit switch can make the motor stop automatically to prevent the chain from extending beyond the limit and ensure safety. There is a special wiring device that prevents the control circuit from operating when the power connection is incorrect.

Operational Testing of the Electric Hoist Before Use:

a. Press the "down" button on the pushbutton switch to operate the hoist to lower the load until the limit switch stops it, at which point the motor will automatically stop.

b. Press the "up" button on the pushbutton switch until the chain is completely retracted into the chain bag and the motor stops running.

c. Check the lubrication of the lifting chain (the lifting chain is already lubricated with oil before leaving the factory, but it may dry out during transportation). Any readily available lubricant can be used to lubricate the lifting chain. We recommend that you maintain a small amount of lubricant in the chain bag to keep the chain immersed in oil.

d. When the host's chain is a double-chain or multi-chain type, it is strictly forbidden to turn the lower hook over from the chain, to avoid accidents.

e. Check the directionality of the chain link, all welding points should be in the same direction, only when all the welding points of the chain are in the same line can the operation be fully determined.

Operation Principles

As a commonly used electric hoist in practical operations, the chain hoist should follow the following usage principles to ensure safer and more efficient work:

1. Do not overload the hand chain hoist. Before lifting a heavy object, estimate the weight to ensure it does not exceed the rated load of the hand chain hoist.

2. The suspension of the gourd must be secure, and there must be no bad situations such as the hook being tilted or hanging heavy objects at the tip of the hook.

3. The lifting chain and hand chain should not have twisted phenomena, so as not to have the chain jammed in the chain wheel when lifting heavy objects, affecting normal work.

4. Whether in the inclined or horizontal direction using the chain, the direction of the chain should be consistent with the direction of the hand chain wheel, do not pull the hand chain in a different plane from the hand chain wheel at an angle, so as not to occur hand chain jamming or slipping phenomenon.

5. During the lifting process, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to do any work or walk under heavy objects, to prevent accidents.

6. During the lifting process, whether the heavy object is rising or falling, the force applied to the hand chain should be even and gentle, do not pull the hand chain too hard, so as not to cause the chain to jump out of the chain wheel or the hook.

7.  If you find that the chain cannot be pulled when in use, do not pull it hard, and immediately stop using the chain.
