WARN Industrial Hoists
Do the following:
ALWAYS:
• Always take your time to assess your
situation and plan your lift carefully.
• Always, prior to a lift, inspect mounting
structure, hoist, slings and/or other
accessories signs of damage. Replace
damaged components prior to a lift.
• Always know the weight of the load and
make sure the rigging, hoist, and mount will
carry the weight.
• Always verify that the load is directly under
the hoist, the rope is not tangled or kinked,
and that all people are standing clear of
the load.
• Always wear leather gloves.
• Always take up any slack in the rope slowly.
Begin the lift slowly. If there is any evidence
of overloading, immediately lower the load
and correct the situation.
• Always avoid shock loads to the hoist by
lifting rapidly or bouncing a load.
• Always make sure the hook latch is
functioning properly. Replace damaged
hook latch before operating hoist.
• Always make sure the rope spools in the
right direction. Hoists are equipped with
an automatic brake and will not function if
the rope spools off the drum in the wrong
direction. NOTE: The rope spooling
direction will accidentally be reversed if rope
is run all the way out and re-spooled in with
control switch in power out" direction.
• Always inspect and carefully rewind rope
after each use. Cuts, kinks, or frayed areas
reduce the tensile strength of rope. Replace
rope if damaged.
• Always keep the remote control away from
drum, rope, or rigging.
• Always inspect the remote control pendant
and cable for damage before using hoist.
• Always inspect hydraulic system or
electrical connections before using hoist.
• Always stand clear of the rope and load
during hoist operation.
• Always make sure that other hoist operators
understand the potential hazards and have
been trained in proper use of the hoist.
• Always make sure that the controller and
hoist assembly are installed, operated,
adjusted, and serviced by qualified
personnel familiar with its construction and
operation.
• Always verify that load limiting devices are
working properly.
Additional Guidelines:
• If the load must be immersed in any liquid
or dusty solid material, use a sling chain or
other rigging to allow the hook to remain
above the surface at all times.
• For additional information, refer to the
operation section of American National
Standard ANSI/ASME B30.16 and B30-9
(rigging) and the operation section of
Department of Energy Hoisting and Rigging
Standards DOE-STD-1090-99.
