The risks of using electric hoists can be mainly divided into three categories: risks caused by improper operation, risks caused by equipment quality problems, and risks caused by environmental factors. Below, we will analyze the reasons for these risks from these three aspects one by one.
Risk of operational violations: ① Improper lifting methods, loose binding resulting in detachment, scattering or swinging of lifting objects causing injury; ② Violation of operating procedures, such as skewed lifting, over cutting lifting, and working in hazardous areas, resulting in casualties and equipment damage; ③ Accidents such as overloading, over hoisting, derailment, and tipping caused by operators not using safety devices in accordance with regulations.
Equipment quality risk: ① Failure of lifting equipment, such as damage to hooks, wire ropes, and their fixed parts, causing heavy objects to fall; ② Accidents caused by the malfunction of the control system of lifting equipment or the failure of safety devices such as limiters, limiters, and brakes; ③ Accidents caused by insufficient component strength, such as collapse or falling due to the failure of electric hoist fasteners.
Environmental risk factors: ① Collision and compression accidents caused by crowded and disorderly venues; ② Collision accidents caused by insufficient brightness and obstruction of vision; ③ Equipment accidents such as derailment, collapse, and overturning caused by strong natural disasters such as lightning, gusts of wind, tornadoes, typhoons, and earthquakes.
These are some potential factors that may cause accidents during the use of electric hoists. We hope everyone can take them seriously and ensure the safe use of electric hoists.
