Before using a lever hoist for lifting and lowering, you should perform a thorough inspection to ensure its safe and proper operation. Here are some key items to check:

Visual Inspection:

Condition of the Hoist: Examine the lever hoist for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks, bent parts, or worn components.

Chain or Rope: Inspect the lifting chain or rope for wear, rust, or kinks. Ensure that it is in good condition and properly attached to the hoist.

Hooks: Check the hooks for any damage or deformation. Ensure that they are securely attached and capable of supporting the intended load.

Functionality Check:

Braking System: Test the brake to ensure it engages and holds the load securely. A faulty brake can cause the load to drop unexpectedly.

Lever Operation: Operate the lever to ensure it moves smoothly and engages the chain or rope properly. Check for any binding or sticking.

Limit Switches: If the hoist is equipped with limit switches, test them to ensure they function correctly and prevent over-lifting or over-lowering.

Load Rating:

Capacity Label: Verify the load rating of the hoist and ensure it is suitable for the intended load. Do not exceed the maximum capacity specified by the manufacturer.

Balance: Ensure that the load is balanced and properly centered on the hooks to prevent tipping or uneven wear on the chain or rope.

Safety Features:

Guards and Covers: Check that all guards and covers are in place and functioning correctly to protect against moving parts.

Emergency Stop: If the hoist is equipped with an emergency stop, ensure it is easily accessible and functions properly.

Environment and Setup:

Work Area: Inspect the work area for any obstructions or hazards that could interfere with the operation of the hoist.

Anchor Points: Ensure that the anchor points for the hoist are secure and capable of supporting the intended load.

Stability: Check the stability of the hoist and ensure it is properly supported to prevent tipping or movement during operation.

Documentation and Certification:

User Manual: Familiarize yourself with the user manual to understand the proper operation and maintenance of the hoist.

Certifications: Verify that the hoist has the necessary certifications and complies with relevant safety standards.
