2. Avoid snatch or shock loading as the safe working load can be exceeded in such circumstances.
Use gradual controlled pulling which maintains stability of the load
3. Always use gloves when working with a gin wheel to prevent rope burn. Check the gloves are
designed to grip well and do not have a smooth slippery gripping surface
4. Check the load does not exceed the weight capacity of the components or the ability of workers
to lift it
5. Check the load is secured properly. Never load the Lifting Hook (12) in front of the Safety Latch
(11) next to the hook tip. Never load the Lifting Hook off the central position and always ensure
the Lifting Hook’s Safety Latch is closed before lifting
6. Check the bucket or load won’t strike the scaffold or building, causing the load to tip and fall
7. When lifting, do not stand close to the area under the load. Instead, use the lifting rope at a
diagonal angle
8. When lifting liquid, cover the bucket so the contents don’t spill
IMPORTANT: Once the load is lifted to the required height, the load should be removed and the
empty Lifting Hook lowered to ground level immediately.
Note: It is recommended to do a test lift of a metre or so to check lifting stability to see if the load
securing can be improved especially at higher weight levels.
