Study Notes

Hoisting Devices and Safety

A hoist is a device used for raising or lowering heavy or bulky objects, such as machines and equipment.
Hoisting involves using a rope, cable, sling, or chain strong enough to support the load, a method of connecting the ropes, cables, or chains to the load, and a hoisting device.
Hoisting is a hazardous operation that must be done by trained and experienced tradespersons.

Pre-Hoisting Checks

Determine the number and locations of slings needed to balance the load.
Determine whether the lifting devices are strong enough to handle the load.
Check if the lifting device can raise or lower the load to the required elevation.
Check if the beams or overhead supports are strong enough for the load.
Identify hazards that may be encountered during the lifting and moving operation.

Block and Tackle

A block and tackle is a combination of ropes and pulleys.
It was a common lifting device in many plants, but is less preferred today.
It should be stored properly to prevent damage.

Chain Hoists and Come-Alongs

Chain hoists are used for vertical lifting, while come-alongs can be used in any position.
Chain hoists have a lower hook that is weaker than the top hook and may distort if overloaded.
The load should always be less than the rated capacity of the block.

Safety Checks

Most jurisdictions require hoisting devices to have safety hooks with a self-closing latch.
Never "choke" the load with the lift chain or strap.
Use a sling or grab chain instead.
Use a shackle to hold multiple eyes together when lifting.
Keep away from the load or ropes when heavy stress is applied.
