When lifting with a lever hoist, several aspects should be carefully considered to ensure safe and efficient operation. Here are some key points to pay attention to:

1. Load Capacity and Rating

Select Appropriate Hoist: Ensure that the lever hoist selected is designed and rated for the actual load it will be lifting. Overloading can lead to equipment failure or personal injury.

Understand the Rated Safe Working Load: The rated safe working load is the maximum load the hoist can safely lift in a straight lift. If lifting on an angle, the vertical lifting capacity decreases.

2. Safe Operation Practices

Read and Understand the Manual: Before using the hoist, thoroughly read and understand the manufacturer’s operating and maintenance instructions or manuals.

Inspect the Hoist: Regularly inspect the hoist for any signs of damage or wear. Do not use a damaged hoist or one that is not working properly.

Avoid Overloading: All hand-operated hoists should be equipped with devices to prevent overloading. Never attempt to lift more than the rated load.

Proper Lifting Techniques: Ensure the load is securely attached to the hoist and avoid using damaged or worn load chains. Do not use the load chain as a sling or wrap it around the load.

3. Personnel Safety

Do Not Lift Personnel: Never use a hand-operated hoist to lift, support, or transport people.

Clear the Area: Ensure all personnel remain clear of the supported load to avoid potential injuries.

4. Maintenance and Storage

Regular Maintenance: Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for regular maintenance and inspections.

Store Properly: Store the hoist in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent corrosion and damage.

5. Compliance with Standards

Follow Regulations: Ensure that the hoist complies with applicable sections of standards such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code (ASME) B30.21 and the American National Standards Institute ANSI/ASME HST-3M.

Modifications: Do not modify the hoist without the manufacturer’s approval or certification to be in conformity with applicable OSHA regulations.

6. Operator Training and Qualifications

Train Operators: Ensure that all operators are trained and qualified to use the lever hoist safely.

Supervise New Operators: Supervise new operators closely until they are proficient in using the hoist.
