There are three main misconceptions when using electric hoists, which may not only affect work efficiency but also pose a threat to personnel and equipment safety. Here is a detailed analysis of these three major misconceptions:

1、 Operators who have not received professional training and are working without certification

Misconception description:

Many people believe that as long as they have knowledge of electric hoists, they can operate them without the need for professional training or obtaining relevant operating certificates. This mentality of 'I understand, I am proud' often leads to safety hazards in practical operations.

Hazard analysis:

Operators lack professional knowledge and may not be able to respond correctly to unexpected situations, increasing the risk of accidents.

Working without a license violates national safety production regulations, and in the event of an accident, legal responsibility will be borne.

The correct approach:

Operators must undergo professional learning and receive safety technical training.

After passing the assessment by the national or business supervisory department and obtaining the "Special Operation Personnel Operation Certificate" issued by the local supervisory department, one can engage in command and operation work.

2、 Free fall when lowering suspended objects

Misconception description:

When lifting heavy objects, operators pay special attention to controlling speed and height, but when lowering suspended objects, they often let them fall freely.

Hazard analysis:

Free fall may cause heavy objects to lose control, collide with the ground or surrounding equipment, and cause damage.

The limit position limiter is not used for parking and frequent use may cause it to fail, increasing the risk of accidents.

The correct approach:

When lowering the suspended object, the descent speed should be steadily controlled and free fall is strictly prohibited.

Do not use limit position limiters for parking operations.

3、 Existence of lucky mentality and neglect of preliminary preparation work

Misconception description:

Some operators have a lucky mentality when operating electric hoists, thinking that "it's okay, just for a while, and there won't be any major problems", thus ignoring the preliminary preparation work and daily inspections.

Hazard analysis:

The mentality of luck often leads to the neglect of potential risks and increases the likelihood of accidents occurring.

Neglecting the preliminary preparation work and daily inspections may cause the equipment to operate in a diseased state, further exacerbating safety risks.

The correct approach:

Before operation, a comprehensive inspection of the electric hoist should be carried out to ensure that the equipment is in good condition.

Strictly follow the operating procedures and safety regulations, and there should be no mentality of taking chances.
