As a special lifting equipment installed on cranes and gantry cranes,
electric hoists have the characteristics of small size, light weight, simple operation and ease of use.
They are widely used in industrial and mining enterprises, warehouses, docks and other places.
Therefore, dust will inevitably enter the electric hoist during use, causing varying degrees of wear and tear on the chain and internal parts. So, regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial to extend its service life.
So how to clean and maintain it?
Cleaning is the most basic work and is also the prerequisite for maintenance work.
We can use a damp cloth to clean the dust on its surface and in the gaps.
After it is completely soaked for a few minutes, we can tie the cloth to a thin and strong object like iron wire to clean stubborn stains.
Be careful not to rinse with water to prevent water from entering the motor and burning the hoist motor.
In addition, the chain of the electric hoist must be lubricated with engine oil, and some gear bearing parts also need to be filled with appropriate lubricating oil.
After cleaning is complete, all parts need to be lubricated so that they can be maintained when completely dry.
Developing a good habit of regular cleaning can not only improve work efficiency, but also greatly extend the service life of the electric hoist.
