Before using the wire rope electric hoist for lifting and lowering, several key aspects should be thoroughly checked to ensure the safety and efficiency of the operation. Here are the main checks that need to be performed:

Inspection of Hoisting Equipment:

Wire Rope: Check for any broken wires, wear, or twisting. The wire rope should be replaced if the number of broken wires exceeds 10% within one lay length, if there is 40% rust or surface wear, or if there are dead bends, structural deformations, or rope core extrusion.

Hooks and Other Hanging Devices: Ensure that hooks, slings, chains, and other hanging devices are in good condition and free from damage. Check the hook's safety latch to ensure it is functional.

Overall Stability and Performance: Verify the stability and operational performance of the hoist.

Safety Devices and Controls:

Emergency Stop Buttons and Limit Switches: Test the responsiveness of emergency stop buttons and limit switches to ensure they function properly.

Warning Systems: Ensure that alarm systems and warning lights are operational.

Communication Devices: Check the clarity and coverage of communication devices such as intercoms and radios, and conduct communication drills to ensure operators can receive instructions promptly.

Operating Environment:

Load Weight and Capacity: Confirm that the load weight does not exceed the hoist's rated capacity.

Stability and Balance of the Load: Ensure the load is stable and balanced to prevent tipping during lifting.

Obstacle Clearance: Confirm that the lifting area is clear of obstacles and has sufficient space for lifting operations.

Ground Bearing Capacity: Check the ground's bearing capacity to ensure it can support the weight of the hoist and the load.

Weather Conditions: Assess weather conditions such as wind speed and temperature to ensure they meet safety standards for lifting operations.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Ensure that operators are wearing appropriate PPE, including safety helmets, safety harnesses, protective gloves, and safety shoes.

Confirm that operators know how to correctly use their PPE.

Operational Plan and Personnel Qualification:

Review the lifting plan and ensure that each step has been subject to risk assessment.

Ensure that operators are familiar with the lifting plan and their respective responsibilities.

Verify the qualifications and training records of operators to ensure they possess the necessary skills for safe operation.
