Electric hoists are generally divided into electric chain hoists, wire rope electric hoists, micro electric hoists, combined electric chain hoists, multi-function hoists, etc. The difference between telephone chain hoists and wire rope electric hoists is that the wire rope is replaced by a chain. The general lifespan of electric hoists is about five or six years, but the actual situation is not like this. Due to operational problems, the lifespan varies, and there are various gaps.


In actual operation, maintenance of electric hoists is a very important task. If you want to improve the service life of electric hoists, you should pay attention to the following aspects:


The newly purchased electric hoist must be run empty for several times first. When an idle electric hoist is used again, it is necessary to check the load test, check the condition of each component of the chain electric hoist, and see if the chain is entangled or stuck to prevent accidents;


2. When the working time of the gearbox oil of the electric hoist reaches 500 hours, check the use of lubricating oil, check the lubricating oil regularly for three months, and add oil in time if it is missing;


3. The general cause of chain wear of electric chain hoists is rust and debris. Most electric hoists need to be disassembled for cleaning and oiling. Cleaning should be done once or twice a year, depending on the actual operating conditions;


4. Electric hoists have requirements for different models and specifications. When using them, everyone must strictly follow the requirements and do not exceed the rated load of the electric hoist. This is to avoid damaging the parts of the electric hoist and shortening its lifespan;


5. After each use of the electric hoist, remember to keep it clean, wipe it clean, and place the electric hoist in a ventilated environment.
