Safety Use Tips from Lifting Equipment Suppliers

Safety use of the lifting tools and equipment for lifting heavy objects is always our first consideration here at TITANSUHE lifting equipment factory. As one of the top lifting equipment suppliers, we design and manufacture all our lifting tools and equipments with a minimum 4 times safety factors that can be used for general lifting and overhead lifting. However, good quality crane lifting tools can not 100% decide safety if an operator does not follow up the proper operation steps. We give detailed instructions in our operation manual and here are a few tips for the safe use of or lifting tools and equipment.

For different types of lifting devices applications, the safety requirement is different. Be sure that the chosen lifting tools and equipment have correct and enough properties to get your job done. For example, if you want to lift a load 2ton, you need to get a chain hoist or wire rope hoist with a minimum working load of 2ton or above. If you don't know exactly how much is the load, then the chain hoist or wire rope hoist with overload protection is necessary which will stop the lifting action once the mechanism detects the weight exceeding the set rate. If you want to know how much weight you plan to lift quickly, you can choose a chain hoist or wire rope hoist with a digital scale.

No matter your lifting equipment is new or old, always remember to have a visual check before each use and see if there are any parts missing, or any obvious defect, damage, or wear and tear that may reduce the strength of the heavy lifting tools. All TITANSUHE's lifting and rigging equipment is tested and certified before shipping. And the lifting products can be traced back to the service life according to its series number.

A support frame or beam is necessary to use some lifting tools and equipment. Make sure the support has enough strength to withstand the rated load of the lifting tools and equipment. Normally, the capacity of support should be higher than the rated load of lifting equipment as the deadweight of lifting equipment should be considered.
