As special lifting equipment installed on overhead cranes and gantry cranes, electric hoist has the characteristics of small size, lightweight, simple operation, and convenient use. It is widely used in industrial and mining enterprises, warehouses, docks, and other places. Therefore, dust will inevitably enter during the use of the electric hoist, which will cause varying degrees of wear on the chain and internal components. Therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to prolonging its service life. So how to clean and maintain it?
Cleaning is the most basic work, and it is also a prerequisite for maintenance work. We can use a damp cloth to clean the surface and the dust in the gaps. After 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, so as not to burn the gourd motor due to the water entering the motor. In addition, the chain of the electric hoist needs to be lubricated with oil, and some gear-bearing parts also need to be filled with appropriate lubricating oil. After cleaning, all parts need to be lubricated for maintenance when they are completely dry. Develop a good habit of regular cleaning, not only can improve work efficiency, but also greatly extend the service life of the electric hoist.
