A detailed ELECTRIC HOISTSEMI ANNUAL preventive maintenance checklists

1. Visual Inspection

2. Electrical System Check

3. Mechanical Components Inspection

4. Load Testing

  • Attach a calibrated load to the hook.
  • Gradually increase the load to the hoist's rated capacity.
  • Observe the hoist's operation throughout the lift.
  • Record any discrepancies in performance.
  • Lift the load to the maximum height.
  • Lower the load slowly to the ground.
  • Hold the load at various heights for 30 seconds.
  • Ensure no slippage or failure occurs during these actions.
  • Listen for grinding, rattling, or squeaking sounds.
  • Feel for excessive vibrations on the hoist body.
  • Check for loose components or abnormal movements.
  • Document any irregularities for further inspection.
  • Operate the hoist without any load and observe its function.
  • Perform the load test with the rated load as previously mentioned.
  • Compare the performance metrics between no-load and full-load.
  • Ensure smooth operation in both scenarios without delay.
  • Attach the test load securely to the hoist.
  • Gradually lift the load to the rated capacity level.
  • Ensure the hoist operates smoothly without strain.
  • Note any performance issues during the lift.
  • Lift the load to a predetermined height.
  • Lower the load smoothly to the ground.
  • Hold the load for a specified period.
  • Check for any slipping or failure during holding.
  • Listen for abnormal sounds while lifting and lowering.
  • Feel for vibrations in the hoist body.
  • Note any irregularities and their timing during the test.
  • Report any issues immediately for further inspection.
  • Run the hoist without any load first.
  • Observe the operation speed and responsiveness.
  • Then perform the same tests under full load.
  • Compare results and note any discrepancies.
