How to use Hand Operated Hoists correctly?

Basic understanding

Hand-operated hoists are simple and portable manual lifting machines, also known as chain hoists or chain hoists. They are suitable for short-distance lifting of small equipment and items, with a lifting capacity of around 10 tons and a lifting height of around 6 meters. They are also very labor-saving and inexpensive, and are widely used in factories, mines, construction and other fields for installing machinery and lifting equipment. They have a significant advantage, especially in places without power or in confined spaces.

Brand Recommendations

Our Lingkai Hand Operated Hoists meet ISO and CE standards and offer double pawl brake hooks with safety locks.

The safety rules for using hand-operated hoists are roughly as follows:

1. Never use two or more hand-operated hoists to lift the same load simultaneously, as human control of synchronization is impossible and overloading is possible.

2. If the pulling force exceeds the product's normal pulling capacity, stop using it immediately and check the internal structure for damage, jamming, or overloading.

3. No personnel should walk under the load during use.

4. Always estimate the load weight before use and never overload.

5. Never rotate, twist, knot, or fasten the hook during use.

6. The lifting or lowering distance must never exceed the product's rated lifting height.

7. Do not pull at an angle or backwards. Ensure the hook is securely fastened during use.

8. After use, promptly store the product back in its original position. Do not leave it lying around or expose it to the elements for extended periods.
