Proper maintenance of lifting equipment is essential for extending its service life, reducing operating costs, and ensuring operational safety. Many equipment failures and safety accidents are caused by improper maintenance. As a professional lifting equipment manufacturer, HanXiang lifting machinery summarizes the following key maintenance considerations based on years of production and after-sales experience to help customers better manage their lifting equipment.
Regular inspection is the foundation of equipment maintenance. Users should conduct daily inspections before using the equipment, focusing on checking the integrity of lifting chains, steel wire ropes, and lifting hooks, as well as the normal operation of brakes, motors, and control systems . Periodic inspections (monthly, quarterly, or annually) should be carried out in accordance with international standards such as ISO 9927-1:2009, including disassembly inspection, lubrication, and adjustment of key components . For equipment used in harsh environments (such as high temperature, humidity, and corrosion), the inspection frequency should be appropriately increased.
Lubrication is another important aspect of maintenance. Reasonable lubrication can reduce friction between moving parts, prevent wear and tear, and extend the service life of components. Users should select appropriate lubricants according to the type of equipment and working environment, and regularly add or replace lubricants. For example, chain hoists need to be lubricated on the chain and gear parts, while electric hoists require lubrication on the motor and reducer.
Proper storage and use of equipment also play a vital role in maintenance. When the equipment is not in use for a long time, it should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and corrosion-free environment, and the lifting parts should be properly fixed and protected. During use, users should strictly abide by the operating procedures, avoid overloading, overspeeding, and other improper operations, which can cause damage to the equipment.
