Daily inspection content

Braking system: Confirm that the braking is sensitive and reliable, and that the hook anti detachment device is complete.

Wire rope: Check the wire rope for any broken or deformed wires, and reserve at least 3 safety rings on the drum.

Electrical system: Auxiliary equipment such as controllers, limit switches, electric bells, emergency switches, etc. must be in good condition.

Safety devices: Load limiters, limiters, buffers, collision avoidance devices, etc. must be sensitive and effective.

Track and operating range: Clear obstacles and confirm that no personnel are working at high altitude.

Trial lifting requirements

Before lifting, it is necessary to let the equipment idle and confirm that the braking system is working properly.

When lifting heavy objects, they should be lifted 100-200mm off the ground and confirmed to be normal before continuing the operation.
