There are some common misunderstandings or misconceptions in the operation of electric hoists. Here is a detailed analysis of these misconceptions:

1. Neglecting safety operating procedures

Misconception description:

Operators may overlook the safety operating procedures of electric hoists due to their experience or eagerness to complete tasks, such as not conducting equipment inspections, not wearing personal protective equipment, etc.

Corrective measures:

Strictly follow safety regulations: conduct equipment inspections before operation to ensure that all components are in good condition.

Wear personal protective equipment such as helmets, seat belts, protective goggles, etc. to reduce injuries in the event of accidents.

2. Misjudging load capacity

Misconception description:

Sometimes operators may misjudge the load capacity of an electric hoist and attempt to lift heavy objects beyond its rated load.

Corrective measures:

Clear load limit: Understand and confirm the rated load capacity of the electric winch before operation.

Avoid overloading: Strictly operate according to the rated load and prohibit overloading.

3. Neglecting maintenance and upkeep

Misconception description:

Some operators may think that electric hoists are durable goods and do not require frequent maintenance.

Corrective measures:

Regular maintenance: Conduct regular maintenance according to the equipment manual or manufacturer's recommendations, including cleaning, lubrication, fastening, etc.

Timely maintenance: When equipment malfunctions or abnormalities are discovered, the machine should be stopped immediately and professional personnel should be contacted for repair.

4. Damage caused by improper operation

Misconception description:

The operator may cause damage to the components of the electric winch due to improper operation, such as emergency stop and start, diagonal pull and suspension, etc.

Corrective measures:

Stable operation: Maintain stability during the operation process and avoid improper operations such as emergency stop and start, diagonal pulling and lifting.

Professional training: Provide professional training to operators to improve their operational skills and safety awareness.

5. Neglecting environmental factors

Misconception description:

Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, dust, etc. may affect the performance of electric winches, but operators may overlook these factors.

Corrective measures:

Consider environmental factors: When selecting and using an electric hoist, full consideration should be given to factors such as temperature, humidity, and dust in the working environment.

Take protective measures: When working in harsh environments, corresponding protective measures should be taken, such as adding dust covers and using waterproof electrical appliances.

6. Misuse of non-standard attachments

Misconception description:

Operators may use non-standard or unqualified accessories in conjunction with electric hoists, resulting in decreased performance or safety hazards.

Corrective measures:

Use standard accessories: Ensure that the accessories used in conjunction with the electric winch comply with national standards or manufacturer requirements.

Regular inspection of accessories: Regularly inspect and maintain the accessories used in conjunction to ensure that they are in good condition.
