Inspection Guide:
1. Braking Mechanism – Check by lifting a load a short distance and then lowering to its original position while
checking for slippage or free run.
2. Load Chain – Look for wear, twists, broken or damaged links. Chain should be clean and free of foreign
material or excessive rust. Chain should be properly lubricated.
3. Hook – Look for wear, heavy nicks, cracks or deformation. The hook must turn freely and the latch should
be operative.
NOTE: Any hook that is twisted or has throat opening in excess of normal indicates overloading or abuse of
the hoist and requires an inspection of all other load bearing components on the hoist for damage. There may
be some specific inspection procedures for specific hoists, so always consult the manufacturer’s manual.
