Common Lifting Risks
Industrial lifting operations involve multiple risks, especially under heavy-load conditions.
👉 Overloading beyond rated capacity is one of the most dangerous mistakes in lifting operations.
Other common hazards include:
- Incorrect rigging or hook engagement
- Chain wear, deformation, or fatigue
- Load swing due to improper lifting angle
- Electrical control failure
- Operator error or lack of training
Ignoring these risks can lead to serious workplace accidents.
Essential Safety Rules
To ensure safe operation of electric chain hoists, the following rules must be strictly followed:
👉 Never exceed rated load capacity during operation.
👉 Inspect hooks, chains, and brake systems before every use.
👉 Ensure load is properly balanced before lifting.
👉 Keep personnel away from lifting zone during operation.
👉 Avoid side pulling or dragging loads at all times.
👉 Stop operation immediately if abnormal sound or vibration occurs.
