Q: What kind of inspection must we do for hoists:
A: A hoist is defined as a device used for lifting and lowering loads using a lift-wheel or a drum where the chain or ropes wrap around. Hoists are very common in manufacturing, so it is important to ensure they are in good repair and properly maintained. In general, there are two types of inspections required for hoists: frequent and periodic. Frequent inspection are pre-operational inspections that involve operating the hoist, checking for leakage, does the hoist operate normally (does if feel right), inspect the load chain for damage, nicks, bent links, etc., check the hook, throat opening, alignment, safety latch and warning labels. This should occur daily, prior to shift, prior to use up to monthly based on your usage. These inspections should be completed by the operators.
Periodic inspections are more invasive and need to be performed by a qualified person or sent
out to a repair/ warranty site. There are 3 service classes. The service classes depend on your
usage: normal, heavy, and severe. Each of the 3 classes vary in inspection frequency.
