A detailed ELECTRIC HOISTSEMI ANNUAL preventive maintenance checklists
1. Visual Inspection
2. Mechanical Components
- Visually examine hooks for any visible deformation.
- Check for cracks using a magnifying glass or appropriate tool.
- Ensure hooks are not showing signs of excessive wear.
- Document any issues found for repair or replacement.
- Inspect the entire length of the chain or cable.
- Look for any kinks or twists that may affect performance.
- Check for frays, broken links, or worn sections.
- Replace the chain or cable if any damage is found.
- Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for lubrication frequency.
- Use appropriate lubricant for the specific chain or cable type.
- Apply lubricant evenly along the entire length.
- Wipe away any excess lubricant to prevent debris accumulation.
- Inspect the drum for worn areas or damage.

- Use a level to assess the hoist's installation.
- Check mounting brackets for tightness and security.
- Realign the hoist if it is found to be off-level.
- Ensure all mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris.
- Check bearings for smooth rotation without resistance.
- Look for signs of overheating or discoloration.
- Lubricate bearings according to manufacturer's specifications.
- Replace any bearings that show signs of significant wear.
- Manually test each limit switch to ensure functionality.
- Inspect for physical damage or wear on the switch.
- Check for proper adjustment and alignment.
- Document any switches that require adjustment or replacement.
- Check the exterior of the gearbox for signs of leaking oil.
- Open the fill plug to check oil level with a dipstick.
- Top off oil if it is below the recommended level.
- Replace any seals if leaks are detected.
- Inspect motor mounts for any signs of looseness.
- Check for cracks or fatigue in the mounting points.
- Tighten any loose bolts and secure the motor firmly.
- Replace any damaged mounts as needed.
- Check for grooves or wear on the pulley surfaces.
- Ensure pulleys rotate smoothly without obstruction.
- Clear any debris or buildup around the pulleys.
- Replace any worn or damaged pulleys immediately.
- Use a torque wrench to check tightness of critical fasteners.
- Inspect all visible bolts for signs of wear or corrosion.
- Retighten any loose or questionable fasteners.
- Document any fasteners that were found loose.
