Electric Hoists Safety and Inspection: Durability, Longevity & Maintenance

eléctrico de la grúa is a special lifting equipment, which is installed on overhead cranes and gantry cranes. It is small in size, light in weight, simple to operate, and easy to use. It is used in industrial and mining enterprises, storage docks and other places.

Why choose electric hoist for your application?

• Increased Productivity: an electric hoist allows for you to hoist items quickly and effortlessly. These machines move much quicker than their manual counterparts and on top of this, they decrease the amount of muscle strain that workers may experience when moving equipment/parts around.
• Higher Load Capacity: Generally speaking most electric lifting devices have a high combined hoist and trolley combination load capacity system. This causes the load capacity to range from 100KG to 50 ton and more, thus allowing for you to comfortably lift a large range of different load weights.
• Cost-Effective: Electric hoists are extremely cost-effective. With their high carrying capacity and efficiency, once installed they quickly start to give you significant savings on manpower.
• Versatility: These highly effective machines don’t just allow for you to lift an item vertically or horizontally, they allow for you to do both.
• Higher Durability: These hoist systems can serve you for many years, so long as they are well maintained. Regular inspections will help you to keep your machine in shape.

Reasons of Electric Hoist Accidents:

• Some data show that half of the probability of electric hoist accidents is caused by operational problems, while the other half is overloaded with electric hoists.
• Overloading of the electric hoist may cause the wire rope to break. If it is broken during use, it will cause the lifted heavy object to fall, damage the object and other surrounding machinery and items, and even cause casualties.
• In addition, overloading of the electric hoist will cause the motor to run overload or even fail to run, which will lead to the sharp increase in current and heat generation, damage the motor insulation, and may directly burn the motor.

Wire Rope Electric Hoists Inspections:

1.Wire rope electric hoist motor temperature rise is too high.

First of all, check whether the cuerda de alambre eléctrico de la grúa is overloaded. The overload causes the motor to heat up.
Then check whether the motor bearing is damaged or not, and whether the motor works according to the regulations.
When the motor is running, if the brake clearance is too small, will generate a large frictional force. The frictional heat also increases the additional load.

2.Wire rope electric hoist can not start after heavy objects rise to mid-air, or after parking can not re-start.

First check if the system voltage is too low or the fluctuation is too large. If it is, restart it only after the voltage returns to normal.
On the other hand, if it cannot be started after stopping, pay attention to whether there is a phase loss in the operation of the three-phase motor.

3.Can not stop working.

The power should be cut off immediately, the wire rope electric hoist should be forcibly stopped, and the repair the contactor or stopper. If it is seriously damaged and cannot be repaired, it must be replaced.

polipasto de cable Mantenimiento:

• First, when connecting the power supply, must turn off the power beforehand. At the same time, the ground wire should be well grounded to avoid electric shock.
• Secondly, wire rope lubrication is an important factor affecting the service life. Timely and effective lubrication can ensure the effective service life of the wire rope.
• Third, check the alignment of the wire rope. Do not hang the load on the twisted wire rope.
• Fourth, check the wire rope electric hoist wiring and confirm whether the power supply voltage is met. If operated at an inappropriate voltage, it will cause serious damage. In order to prevent this from happening, it must be ensured that the wiring meets the requirements of the required power supply.

Electric Chain Hoist Inspections and Maintenance:

• When the operation is up to 500 hours, please check whether the amount of lubricant in the polipastos eléctricos de cadena gearbox is sufficient.
• Check the lubricating oil regularly every three months after the first check if it is insufficient.
• When using the polipastos eléctricos de cadena outdoors, rainproof equipment should be installed.
• Always keep the electric chain hoist parts dry.
• When the operation is finished, please drive the hoist away from the wet area, high temperature area or chemical area to maintain its performance.
• Maintenance of the chain. Lubricating the chain with oil and remove the foreign objects in the chain and the limit guide group regularly to ensure smooth running of the chain.
• When the chain hoist is not used for a long time, it should be rust-proofed, cleaned and maintained, and run up and down for 1-3 minutes to maintain its performance.

An electric hoist will help you speed up production, and increase your bottom line, but you have to make sure you take proper care of it and ensure that it gets regular inspections and maintenance in order for it to continue doing so. Welcome to contact us to get more solutions.
