If the spring of a manual or chain hoist is loose, it may affect its normal operation and safety performance. In response to this situation, the following are some suggested measures:

1. Stop using immediately

Firstly, once the spring of the chain hoist is found to be loose, the use of the equipment should be immediately stopped. Continuing to use may result in further damage or safety accidents.

2. Check the cause of the malfunction

Check the cause of spring looseness. This may be due to long-term use causing spring fatigue and aging, or due to improper operation, poor maintenance, and other factors. At the same time, other components connected to the spring, such as claws, ratchet wheels, etc., should also be checked for damage or looseness.

3. Tighten or replace the spring

Try tightening: If the spring is only slightly loose, you can try using a suitable tool to tighten it. However, please note that caution should be taken during the operation to avoid further damage to the equipment.

Replace the spring: If the spring is severely loose or damaged, it should be replaced with a new spring in a timely manner. During the replacement process, a substitute with the same specifications and reliable quality as the original spring should be selected, and the installation should be ensured to be correct and secure.

4. Comprehensive inspection and maintenance

After resolving the issue of spring looseness, a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the chain hoist should be carried out. This includes cleaning the oil and dust on the surface of the equipment, checking the wear of each component, adjusting the tightness of the transmission mechanism, etc. Through comprehensive inspection and maintenance, potential problems can be identified and resolved in a timely manner, improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.

5. Follow the usage and maintenance standards

In order to avoid similar problems from happening again, it is necessary to strictly follow the usage and maintenance specifications of the chain hoist. This includes proper use of equipment, avoiding overloading, regular inspection and maintenance, etc. At the same time, attention should be paid to safe operation during use to avoid accidents.

6. Seek professional assistance

If you are not familiar with the problem of spring looseness or cannot solve it on your own, you should seek professional help in a timely manner. They have rich experience and professional knowledge, which can quickly and accurately diagnose problems and provide solutions.
