Before using an explosion-proof manual hoist for lifting and lowering, a comprehensive inspection is necessary to ensure its safety and reliability in potentially hazardous environments. Here are some key points to check:

Explosion-Proof Certification and Compliance:

Verify that the hoist has the appropriate explosion-proof certification and complies with relevant safety standards and regulations.

Hoist Structure and Components:

Examine the overall structure of the hoist for any signs of damage, deformation, or wear.

Check all components, including gears, chains, hooks, and handles, for proper function and wear.

Load Capacity:

Confirm that the hoist's load capacity matches the intended load. Overloading can lead to equipment failure and potential hazards.

Safety Devices:

Inspect safety devices such as load limiters, overload protection mechanisms, and brakes to ensure they are functioning properly.

Verify that any emergency stop buttons or switches are easily accessible and operational.

Explosion-Proof Features:

Ensure that all explosion-proof features, such as sealed enclosures and flame-proof barriers, are intact and functioning correctly.

Check for any signs of ingress of explosive gases or vapors that could compromise the explosion-proof integrity of the hoist.

Chains and Hooks:

Inspect the chains for any cracks, wear, or elongation.

Verify that the hooks are securely attached and free of defects.

Mounting and Attachment Points:

Ensure that the hoist is securely mounted to a stable support structure that is rated for the intended load.

Check all attachment points, such as bolts and anchors, for tightness and security.

Environmental Conditions:

Consider the specific environmental conditions in which the hoist will be used, such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to corrosive materials.

Ensure that the hoist is suitable for use in the specific environment and that any necessary protective measures are taken.

Operating Instructions and Warnings:

Familiarize yourself with the operating instructions and safety warnings provided by the manufacturer.

Ensure that all operators are trained and understand how to safely use the hoist in potentially hazardous environments.

Inspection and Maintenance Records:

Review any existing inspection and maintenance records to ensure that the hoist has been properly maintained and is in good working condition.
