How to fix a BRADEN Chain Hoists that won't lower smoothly?

  If your BRADEN Chain Hoists hoist will not lower the load smoothly, start by inspecting the counterbalance cartridge. Remove it from the valve block, then clean and reseal it if needed. Also, check the brake cylinder seal by disconnecting the brake release tube and connecting a hand pump with a gauge to the brake release port. Apply 1000 psi, close the shut-off valve, and let it stand for five minutes. If there's any pressure loss, disassemble the brake cylinder to inspect the sealing surfaces and replace the seals. Finally, disassemble the brake to inspect the brake discs.

What to do if the BRADEN BG4B brake will not hold a load?

  Dr. Ronald AshleyAug 10, 2025
  If your BRADEN Chain Hoists brake won't hold a load in neutral, it could be due to excessive system back pressure affecting the brake release port. Inspect the hydraulic circuit for any restrictions, such as plugged filters, or control valves that aren't centering properly. Alternatively, the friction brake might not hold because of worn or damaged brake discs. In this case, you should disassemble the brake to inspect the brake discs.

What to do if BRADEN BG4B will not hoist the rated load?

  Carla ReedAug 18, 2025
  If your BRADEN Chain Hoists hoist isn't hoisting the rated load, first ensure it's mounted on a level and rigid surface to prevent distortion of the hoist base and binding of the gear train; reinforce the mounting surface if needed. Next, check the system relief valve setting by installing an accurate 0-5000 psi (34,500 kPa) gauge into the inlet port of the brake valve. Apply a stall pull load while monitoring the pressure and compare the reading to the hoist specifications. Adjust the relief valve as required if it's set too low.
