Regarding the precautions for using a "chain hoist" (usually referring to a lifting device for a chain hoist, rather than a literal gourd) in winter, although specific preventive measures for winter may not be as significant as in other seasons, the following are some universally applicable precautions that also apply to the use of chain hoists in winter:

1. Inspection and maintenance

Structural inspection: Before use, carefully inspect all components and parts of the chain hoist, including each link of the chain, to ensure that they are intact, without cracks, wear, or deformation.

Lubrication condition: Check the lubrication condition of the transmission part and lifting chain to ensure that they are in good lubrication condition, in order to reduce friction and wear.

2. Operating environment

Temperature impact: Although chain hoists can typically operate over a wide temperature range, certain components (such as chains, bearings, etc.) may become stiff or difficult to handle at extreme low temperatures. Therefore, when used in winter, it is advisable to avoid prolonged use at extremely low temperatures or take necessary measures to keep warm.

Anti slip measures: In winter, the ground may freeze or become slippery. When using a chain hoist, ensure that the operating area is dry and free of debris, and wear anti slip shoes to prevent slipping or falling.

3. Operating standards

Vertical suspension: The lifting chain should hang heavy objects vertically to avoid twisting or misplacing the chain, ensuring the stability and safety of the lifting process.

Smooth operation: When pulling the hoist, maintain a steady force to avoid excessive tension causing the hoist to lose control or the chain to break. At the same time, the force should be evenly and gently applied, without applying too much force to prevent the chain from jumping or getting stuck.

Prohibition of diagonal pulling: It is strictly prohibited to use chain hoists for diagonal pulling or overloading to prevent accidents such as chain jamming, chain breakage, or pin breakage.

4. Safety awareness

Personnel safety: When lifting heavy objects, it is strictly prohibited for personnel to do any work or walking under the heavy objects to avoid accidents such as falling objects and injuring people.

Abnormal situation handling: If any abnormal situation or malfunction is found during use (such as chain breakage, pulley jamming, etc.), the use should be immediately stopped and professional personnel should be contacted for inspection and repair.

5. Storage and maintenance

Storage environment: After use, the chain hoist should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and non corrosive gas free place to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or high temperatures.

Regular maintenance: Regularly maintain the hand chain hoist, including cleaning the surface oil stains, applying rust proof grease and lubricating oil, etc., to extend its service life and maintain its good working condition.
