When storing chain hoists (chain hoists or electric chain hoists) in the cold winter, special attention should be paid to the following points to ensure the integrity and long-term performance of the equipment:

1. Dry environment

Avoid moisture: Ensure a dry storage environment and prevent chain hoists from getting damp. A humid environment may cause metal parts to rust, affecting the normal operation of equipment.

Good ventilation: Choose a well ventilated place for storage to prevent moisture accumulation.

2. Temperature control

Avoid extreme low temperatures: Although chain hoists can typically operate over a wide temperature range, extreme low temperatures may affect the performance of their internal lubrication and electrical components. If possible, try to store the equipment in an environment with a temperature not lower than freezing point.

Avoid sudden temperature changes: Sudden temperature changes may cause internal stress changes in materials, affecting the structural integrity of equipment.

3. Cleaning and maintenance

Clean the surface: Before storage, the surface and interior of the chain hoist should be thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, oil stains, and other impurities. This helps prevent corrosion and maintain the cleanliness of the equipment.

Lubricating components: Properly lubricate the components that require lubrication to reduce friction and wear. Pay attention to using lubricants suitable for low-temperature environments.

4. Regular inspections

Electrical components: Check whether the electrical components are intact and whether the wires are aged or damaged. If necessary, replace damaged components in a timely manner.

Mechanical components: Check for wear or damage to mechanical components such as chains and gears. If necessary, repair or replace.

5. Storage method

Stable placement: Place the chain hoist steadily on a dry and ventilated ground, avoiding tilting or stacking.

Fixed position: If possible, fix the device in a certain position to prevent movement or tipping during storage.

6. Protective measures

Dust cover: Equip chain hoists with dust or rain covers to prevent dust and moisture from entering the interior of the equipment.

Anti corrosion treatment: For equipment that is not used for a long time, anti-corrosion treatment such as applying rust proof oil can be considered.

7. Precautions

Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause the surface temperature of the equipment to rise, accelerating the aging process.

Follow manufacturer's recommendations: When storing chain hoists, follow the storage and maintenance recommendations provided by the manufacturer.
