How does a lever hoist work?
A lever hoist works by using a lever to turn a wheel, which in turn rotates a chain. The chain is wrapped around a drum or wheel, attached to a hook. When the lever is pulled, the chain is pulled through the hoist, lifting the load. The lever hoist has a ratchet and pawl mechanism that prevents the load from slipping back, providing a secure lift.What are the safety precautions for using a lever hoist?
When using a lever hoist, there are several safety precautions that should be followed to prevent injury. These include inspecting the hoist before use for any signs of damage, such as cracks or corrosion. The hoist should also be properly rated for the load being lifted, and the load should be properly secured to the hoist. Additionally, the operator should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses.How do you certify a lever hoist for safe use?
To certify a lever hoist for safe use, it should be inspected by a qualified person at regular intervals. The inspection should include checking the load chain, hook, and housing for signs of wear and damage. The lever hoist should also be load tested to ensure it can safely lift the rated load. If any defects are found, the hoist should be immediately removed from service and repaired or replaced.In conclusion, lever hoists are an essential tool for lifting heavy loads in many industries. To ensure safe use, operators should follow proper safety precautions and have the hoist inspected and certified at regular intervals.
