What should I do if the chain of the chain hoist is broken?

Hand chain hoist chains are generally produced and processed in accordance with relevant standards, and the chains are made of G80 grade manganese steel chains. It is very dangerous if the chain hoist breaks during lifting. Please refer to the following handling methods when encountering this situation.

Causes of chain hoist breakage:

1. If you are in the process of hoisting, the sudden breakage of the chain is relatively dangerous, which is more serious than the problem of chain hoist jamming. After handling the work site, the cause must be analyzed in time to determine whether it is a product quality problem or an operational violation.

2. Find the root of the problem according to the cause. It cannot be used after it is broken and must be replaced in time. It is necessary to check whether the hand chain hoist has been overloaded, or whether the maintenance inspection has not been done properly after being used for a long time.

3. Check the broken position of the chain hoist. If it is not overloaded and the welding joint is broken, it means there is a problem with the manufacturer's production quality.

4. When problems are discovered, accountability should be carried out in a timely manner to prevent problems from occurring again later or by relevant personnel who are currently working. Work can only be carried out after all inspections are completed and correct.

How to deal with chain breakage:

1. Breakage can basically be divided into two aspects: quality and illegal operation. The quality problem is explained by the failure to choose a guaranteed lifting chain hoist and being cheap. Or the manufacturer's production quality is not good, and it is necessary to promptly determine which link has the problem and make a solution.

2. If it is illegal operation, the relevant operators must be dealt with. Although the hand chain hoist cannot be classified as special equipment, if the tonnage load is large, there are still relevant requirements, and the chain hoist must be operated according to the precautions. Personnel negligence and overloading are often the direct cause of lifting chain breakage.

You cannot weld the broken lifting chain of a hand chain hoist by yourself, because the reverse chain produced in accordance with the production inspection standards for hand chain hoists is welded by special equipment at temperatures of several thousand degrees. Chenli hand chain hoist manufacturer will test the tension welding joint of each chain. Even if the load-bearing capacity of the chain is exceeded, there will be no breakage at the welding joint. In short, we need to operate lifting machinery in a standardized manner, and also purchase high-quality, guaranteed hand chain hoists to avoid safety accidents.
