Reduce Risks by Fixing the Chain Block Firmly
Risks will be reduced by 50% if the chain block is fixed on a firm support point. And here comes a question: how to fix it? In order to make it fixed, a firm hanging point is a precondition and a necessary. And here is what needed when choose the hanging point.
1, there are two types of hanging points for chain block, one is fixed point, one is mobile point. As for the former, the point ought to be chosen over the lifted object while at any point which is at the top of the heavy objects when it comes to the latter.
2, there ought to be no debris around the hanging point, otherwise they may damage the hoist or hinder the lifting work, causing dangers.
3, the lifting point must be able to bear the weight of both the chain hoist and the loaded weight, otherwise the point is overloaded and deformation or breaking can happens, causing the falling of the hoist and the objects.
After select the hanging point in accordance with the above requirements, next step is to hang the hoist. If it is a large capacity one, then it should be lifted by other equipment.
All in all, the hoist should be fixed firmly in case of any danger caused to human.
