Crane hoist routine maintenance

2025-01-27T07:46:00.000-08:00

Maintenance of a Hoist Crane is critical to ensure its safety, reliability, and longevity. Hoist cranes are often used in industrial settings for lifting and moving heavy loads, and regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, reduces downtime, and minimizes the risk of accidents. Here’s an outline of key maintenance practices:

1. Daily Inspections

Perform pre-operation inspections to identify potential issues before using the crane. Focus on:

Hooks: Check for cracks, deformations, or signs of wear.
Wire Ropes/Chains: Look for fraying, kinking, corrosion, or other damage.
Brakes: Ensure they function properly and can hold loads securely.
Control Systems: Test buttons, switches, and remotes for responsiveness.
Limit Switches: Verify that they stop the hoist at the correct height.

2. Lubrication

Lubricate all moving parts (e.g., wire ropes, bearings, gears) as per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Use the correct type of lubricant to prevent excessive wear and rust.

3. Mechanical Inspections

Gears and Bearings: Inspect for abnormal wear or misalignment.
Load Chains: Ensure there is no elongation beyond the recommended limits.
Fasteners: Tighten loose bolts, nuts, and other components.

4. Electrical System Checks

Inspect for frayed wires, loose connections, or exposed cables.
Test the motor and control panels for overheating or unusual noise.
Check the condition of fuses, relays, and circuit breakers.

5. Hoist Load Testing

Periodically conduct load tests to ensure the crane can lift and hold its rated capacity safely. Follow local regulations or manufacturer guidelines for frequency and procedure.

6. Cleaning

Remove dust, debris, and grease buildup from the crane components.
Keep the tracks and surrounding areas free of obstructions.

7. Preventive Maintenance Schedule

Follow a maintenance schedule based on the crane's usage frequency and environmental conditions:

Weekly/Monthly Maintenance: More detailed inspections of hoist components, lubrication, and adjustments.
Quarterly/Semi-Annual Maintenance: Comprehensive inspections involving electrical systems, gearboxes, and structural integrity.
Annual Maintenance: Full inspection by a certified professional, including a detailed load test.

8. Operator Training

Ensure crane operators are trained to recognize warning signs of malfunction and understand the importance of reporting issues immediately.

9. Documentation

Maintain a logbook of all inspections, maintenance activities, repairs, and replacements. This is essential for:

Identifying recurring issues.
Complying with regulatory requirements.
Scheduling future maintenance.

10. Signs of Immediate Attention

Stop using the crane and seek immediate repairs if you notice:

Unusual noises during operation.
Jerky or inconsistent movement.
Visible damage to key components like hooks, wire ropes, or the hoist drum.

Key Tip: Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and local safety regulations for maintenance. Partnering with certified technicians or service providers ensures that your hoist crane remains in optimal condition.

When is 1 ton greater than 1 ton?

2011-09-23T18:18:00.000-07:00

We’ve all used chain motors and we’ve all suspended the maximum 1 ton rated loads. But do we ever really think about what happens between the 2 hooks?

If you are an operator, you have probably been trained to understand forces. A load in motion exerts greater forces than a static or non-moving load. Load position and hoisting speed affect the magnitude of these forces, which can be measured in excess of 200%. This alone should be sufficient to make us more cautious when using overhead lifting equipment.

But what if I told you the forces mentioned above are overshadowed by the force we see in the inter-link of our load chain? The contact area where 2 links touch is only .006 inch. With a one ton static load on the hoist, pressure between links can be as high as 500,000 pounds per square inch. If this is not enough to open your eyes, think of a stage using (12) 1 ton hoists each performing a 40 foot lift. We have 6500 working links, each one subjected to 1/2 million PSI. Moving the load increases this pressure. Imagine the amount of friction and resulting heat.

Is lubrication on the load chain really necessary? Tell us what you think.

Was ist ein Kran Hoist?

Ein Kran Hebezeug ist ein Gerät häufig innerhalb einer Produktionsstätte gefunden. Der Kran Winde dient zum Laden und Entladen schwerer Material von LKW sowie schweres Material von einem Ort innerhalb des Gebäudes in eine andere verschieben. Operating auf Schienen, Kettenzug Kran wird häufig von schweren Eisenträger oder Balken sich quer durch die Decke der Produktionsstätte errichtet. Eine große Winde auf dem Eisenträger befindet in der Lage, zu jedem beliebigen Ort auf dem Träger zu bewegen, es ist mit einem Kabel ausgestattet und angeschlossen, um die Materialien zu heben.

Einige der größten Kran-Hubwerke sind komplett mit einer Fahrerkabine befindet sich hoch in die Luft am Kran. Von dieser erhöhten Position, ist der Betreiber eine gute Aussicht auf die Umgebung angeboten und können Aufzüge und Bewegung von Materialien ohne Probleme oder Verletzungen zu machen. Kleinere Kran-Hubwerke nutzen eine Drop-Down-Schalter, mit einem Betreiber kontrolliert aus dem Boden. Dieser Grund-gesteuerte Modell ist die beliebteste in kleineren Fertigung Einstellungen.

Während die meisten Kran-Hubwerke innen einer Struktur befindet, gibt es einige Arten von Kran-Hubwerke, die auf Rädern montiert sind und vor allem im Freien verwendet werden. Diese Art der Einheit wird oft verwendet, um Container, die auf Schiffen eingesetzt werden zu laden. Nach einem großen Kran übernimmt die Container von einem Schiff, hissen weiteren großen Autokran fährt in Position und hebt den Behälter hoch in die Luft. Der Mobilkran bewegt sich dann an die angegebene LKW-Anhänger auf dem Dock positioniert und setzt den Container auf den LKW-Anhänger. Die gleiche Art von Kran wird benutzt, um Container auf die und von Eisenbahnwaggons sowie zu bewegen.

Während genannt Kran, Hebezeug die typischen Kran ist einer Winde an einem beweglichen Träger montiert. Sieht aus wie ein traditionelles Kran, der Art der Winde in großen Hochbau verwendet füllt die Rechnung gut. Standing viele Geschichten über die Stadt, diese Art von Kran schwenkt seinen langen Boom Arm um die Spitze eines hohen und geraden Turm der vergitterten Eisen. Der Betreiber reitet einen Aufzug in die Kabine des Krans, die hoch über dem Boden auf dem Schwenkarm befindet. Der Betreiber schaut nach unten und reiht sich der Lasthaken. Einmal angeschlossen, hebt der Bediener Material bis viele Etagen und setzt es, wo es um die Bau-Crew verteilt werden. Diese Art von Kranarbeiten ist so stressig, dass viele Städte Grenzen, wie lange ein einzelner Bediener kann, bevor er erleichtert zu arbeiten.

Operating electric hoist crane

2011-04-30T07:37:00.000-07:00

A lot of accidents that is related to the use of hoists is due to the negligence of operators to undergo the proper training needed. This may be because their boss have not told them of its importance and is not allowing them to be part of these things. It might also be because these operators are just relying on their experiences in that field of work and very much confident of what they know about.These reasons, among others, are sometimes the primary causes of accidents that might have been prevented if only the owner and operators have listened and considered the good that electric hoist crane training can do.Electric hoist crane trainings is made especially for the operators of these machines. In these trainings, they are taught ways on how to handle their machine properly and how to avoid it from causing damages to the persons, its load and other equipments.

When asked if owners or businesses have trained their electric hoist crane operators, the usual answer that these people give is that there are no more trainings required since the operators have already learned a lot from their past experiences. By being stubborn and refusing to give out trainings to electric hoist crane operators, it would be later on that these owners will realize the mistake that they have made.

Operating electric hoist crane is not something that you can learn easily. It is also not something that you can read from manuals and expect everything to work smoothly from there. There are a lot of issues involve in the operation of hoists. One of the issue that is being focused much on is safety. The word lifting itself is very dangerous in all its aspects. What more if it is put into practice and involves heavy load and many lives.

Since loads are being lifted very high up in the air, it is only natural that the damage will be severe in case of any accident or negligence. This is why operators should be made confident of what they are doing and what they are capable or not capable of. In the training, operators are introduced to the many aspects and features of the electric hoist crane. They should know about every detail and remember all of its important screws and parts. They will also gain knowledge about heights and weights since this will play a big part of their operation.

Another important thing that electric hoist crane operators are taught about is how to anticipate hazardous situations. You will not be able to tell what is a difficult or dangerous situation unless you are put on the spot. When this happens, they should be able to make a sound decision on what they should do next to avoid further damage or injuries.

These are what trainings should be about. They should not only focus on the machine and the operator. Capabilities, safety and decision making should also become a big part in the training so that unfortunate things will be prevented. The next time someone answers negative to giving out trainings for their electric hoist crane operators, it would be wise to point out some of the bad things that might happen if ever they do not undergo relevant trainings.

Who know one of the things learned in electric hoist crane trainings might even save a life or two.

Safety Work Tip for Chain Hoist.

2010-06-16T07:20:00.001-07:00

If you need a tool that will help you lift stuff efficiently, a chain hoist is ideal. The device incorporates a sturdy chain and pulleys, among other features. Powered by electricity, the chain hoist is an excellent aid when you need to get heavy jobs done easily. Various models are available on the market with a wide price range. Some chain hoists have more features than others, but any model is an efficient tool where heavy work is involved. Like with most electrical equipment, you should practice some safety measures when you work with a chain hoist. Below are six tips.

Check the Chain Hoist before You Operate

You must ensure all features are in good working condition before operations commence. Pay extra attention to the breaks and other controls. If you notice anything amiss, make the necessary adjustments. Should you detect any signs of wear and tear or other defects, do not proceed with use until all necessary repairs have been done. Never overlook a thorough check, which can help avert a serious accident.

Securely Attach All Loads

Loads must be securely attached onto the hook and reflect a good balance. Loads that are not well-slung can cause an accident in the course of your work. It is better to lower the load and adjust it so it hangs properly. You must place the load in a middle position underneath the hoist. Do not stand underneath the hoist when it is loaded, whether the machine is in motion or not. If you have other people with you when you work, be sure the hoist doesn’t carry loads over them. Do not ride on loads at any time. Avoid overloading the chain hoist because the machine may not cope with the load. If a load drops, it could result in much damage or an accident.

Handle the Hoist Properly

Be sure the load chain has a clear path as it operates. Obstructions will disrupt the flow of work.

Avoid lowering the chain to its maximum tension level. The higher level of stress could trigger an accident.

Do not touch the machine parts that have live electricity running through. You could get electrocuted.

Lubricate Your Chain Hoist Regularly

Maintain a regular lubrication schedule for your chain hoist. A well-lubricated hoist works smoothly and efficiently. It is also less likely to jam and disrupt work. When regularly oiled, the chain hoist will keep in good working condition for a longer time.

Comply with Warning Labels

Warning labels carry vital safety information. Keep these labels clearly visible. In the course of work, a quick look at the labels helps keep you on track. Do not remove the labels at any time. If the labels get obscured at some point, be sure to adjust them so they are in full view.

Conduct Regular Inspections

It pays to have your chain hoist inspected once every 6 months, or sooner if you use it frequently. Regular inspections ensure the machine is in good working condition. On the other hand, unsafe operating equipment exposes you to increased danger. If you don’t inspect the chain hoist on a regular basis, you may not know when it has become unsafe

Electric hoist parts, Aviod Hoist Down Time

2010-05-19T07:41:00.000-07:00

Our material handling custom Design, Development, and fabrication services have brought large scale projects to life for companies like automotive giant BMW. BMW was experiencing their largest bottle neck in the production of the X5 sport utility vehicle in one of the manual weld floor pan stations. This bottle neck was a result of the time it took the existing equipment to grab, clear, rotate, release and index the skid. MHS LLC was proposed to provide a conveyor assembly that would lift, clamp, and rotate the skid without any hand off between the conveyor and rotating mechanism being necessary.
　　The result is the fully integral clamping and rotating conveyor shown below. This conveyor was built and tested in our shop. The conveyor was installed approximately two years ago and has had no down time. The conveyor solution reduced the index time of this station by 22 seconds. Since BMW's index time is less than two minutes you can understand the impact this had on their through put.
　　Another benefit Material Handling Solutions offers to our customers it one of the largest depots of replacement electric chain hoist. MHS-LLC has just launched a quick electric chain hoist quoting system on its website. This gives industrial professionals the ability quickly and economically source replacement parts for any manufacture of hoist, crane components, and material handling equipment.

Wire rope hoist is capable of adapting to many typical uses in industrial lifting operations without subjecting the user to special requirements.The standard range includes 6 construction sizes for capacities from 800kg to 20,000 kg with 2 or 4 rope falls,lifting speed between 1.5 and 12 m/min.
A wide range of travelling trolleys are also available in either double or monorail version with standard and low headroom when using the electric wire rope hoists.
Electric wire rope hoists are available in the following four standard versions:
Version 1 with 2 rope falls for capacities from 800kg to 10,000kg
Version 2 with 4 rope falls for capacities 1,000 kg from 20,000kg
Gearbox (1)
The 2 or 3-stage planetary gear reduces the speed of the electric motor to the rpm necessary for the drum.All gears of the planetary
gear are made of heat-treated high quality steel.
Electric Brake Motor (2)
Three-phase asynchronous 1 or 2 speed motor with cone rotor and integrated cone brake driven by a coil spring.The brake release is due to the sliding
of the rotor after switching-on of the power supply.
Rope Guide (3)
The rope guide basically consists of two parts: a guide ring and a pressure.Spring that properly guide the rope on
the drum grooves.The guide ring maintains the rope in position during the uncoiling, preventing it comingoff the groove
Load Limiter(4)
All "M" series hoists with 2 and 4 rope falls are equipped with a load limiter with 2 reaction thresholds. The load limiter
consists of an electricmechanical system with preset springs acting on two microswitches located in the auxiliary circuit.

Low headroom trolleys are equipped with 2 travel units, consisting of planetary gears with double speed brake motors
directly flanged to the wheels, therefore without external teeth.

Electric chain hoists are among the most dependable on the market.The Electric Chain Hoist series was

designed for heavy duty industrial applications, which greatly reduce down time and operational costs.

Chain hoists tolerate large loads with ease and require little maintenance.They provide more allowance for

side pulling,and provide true vertical lift at no extra cost.

Wire rope hoist

2010-05-01T21:20:00.000-07:00

Wire rope hoist is capable of adapting to many typical uses in industrial lifting operations without subjecting

the user to special requirements.The standard range includes 6 construction sizes for capacities from 800kg to 20,000 kg

with 2 or 4 rope falls,lifting speed between 1.5 and 12 m/min.

A wide range of travelling trolleys are also available in either double or monorail version with standard and low headroom

when using the electric wire rope hoists.

Electric wire rope hoists are available in the following four standard versions:
Version 1 with 2 rope falls for capacities from 800kg to 10,000kg

Version 2 with 4 rope falls for capacities 1,000 kg from 20,000kg

Gearbox (1)
The 2 or 3-stage planetary gear reduces the speed of the electric motor to the rpm necessary for the drum.All gears of the planetary

gear are made of heat-treated high quality steel.

Electric Brake Motor (2)
Three-phase asynchronous 1 or 2 speed motor with cone rotor and integrated cone brake driven by a coil spring.The brake release is due to the sliding

of the rotor after switching-on of the power supply.

Rope Guide (3)
The rope guide basically consists of two parts: a guide ring and a pressure.Spring that properly guide the rope on

the drum grooves.The guide ring maintains the rope in position during the uncoiling, preventing it comingoff the groove

Load Limiter
All "M" series hoists with 2 and 4 rope falls are equipped with a load limiter with 2 reaction thresholds. The load limiter

consists of an electricmechanical system with preset springs acting on two microswitches located in the auxiliary circuit.

Low Headroom Trolleys(5)
Low headroom trolleys are equipped with 2 travel units, consisting of planetary gears with double speed brake motors

directly flanged to the wheels, therefore without external teeth.
