Many people may not be proficient in using hand cranked hoists for the first time, resulting in smooth operation and extremely low lifting efficiency. So, how to operate hand cranked hoists proficiently and efficiently? Below is a brief explanation of some techniques for operating a hand-operated hoist.

Firstly, we need to understand that there is a clear difference in the driving method between hand cranked hoists and chain hoists. Hand cranked hoists pull the chain vertically downwards, while hand cranked hoists repeatedly pull the handle horizontally. This direction of pulling brings a small trouble to the lifting process, which is that it will drive the entire hand cranked hoist and lifting chain to swing along with it, making it difficult for the operator to exert force.

In the face of this dilemma, we can use our other hand to hold the upper part of the hand cranked hoist, which can effectively slow down the back and forth swing of the hoist. When the heavy object is lifted off the ground, we can release our other hand because the hoist as a whole has already received a vertical downward force, and under this force, it forms a relatively stable posture. This way, we can smoothly press the handle.
