Inspection of the attachment point
The attachment point for the hoist must be selected so that the supporting structure to which it
is to be fitted has sufficient stability and to ensure that the expected forces can be safely
absorbed.
The unit must align freely also under load in order to avoid impermissible additional loading.
The selection and calculation of the appropriate supporting structure are the responsibility of
the operating company.
Inspection of the load chain
Inspect the load chain for sufficient lubrication and check for external defects, deformations,
superficial cracks, wear and corrosion marks.
Inspection of the chain stop
The chain stop must always be fitted to the loose chain end. There must be no wear or
incorrect alignment.
Inspection of the top hook and load hook
The top resp. load hooks must be checked for cracks, deformations, damage, wear and
corrosion marks. The safety latch must move freely and be fully functioning.
Inspection of chain reeving in the bottom block
All units with two or more chain falls must be inspected before initial operation to ensure that
the load chain is not twisted or kinked. The chains of hoists with two or more falls may become
twisted if the bottom block is rolled over, for example.
When replacing the chain, make sure that the chain is reeved correctly. The chain weld must
face outwards.
