When selecting a hoist, it is important that a customer chooses one that has a maximum weight capacity that is equal to or greater than the weight of the objects which they plan to hoist. If the object being lifted exceeds the weight limits of the hoist, both operations and worker safety become compromised. Specifically, the hoist could easily separate from its mounting, tumble over on its side, or drop the load.
A customer should also know the maximum height to which they plan to lift their loads, so that he or she can inform an Electric hoist provider. Lifting length limit depends on the amount of cable or chain on the spool, so this knowledge will ensure that the hoist supplier provides an adequate amount.
Most electric hoists are mechanically operated remotely with the push of a button or at the least, a lever, though some are still manually cranked. This button or switch can raise, lower, and release the hoist.
To properly operate the hoist and to avoid accidents or injuries, it is very important that operators and crew members take certain precautions. For example, they must make sure, prior to hoisting, that loads are properly secured, so that they cannot slide off. Also, hoist operators must take stock of their surroundings, knowing the source of potential risks and the locations of their coworkers. It is wise to engage multiple employees in hoist operations, so that someone can be checking and securing items on the floor as the operator controls the hoist remotely.
