INSPECTION

WARNING

•All new, altered or modified equipment should be inspected and tested by personnel trained in safety, operation and maintenance of this equipment to ensure safe operation at rated specifications before placing equipment in service.

Frequent and periodic inspections should be performed on equipment in regular service. Frequent inspections are visual examinations performed by operators or service personnel and include observations made during routine equipment operation. Periodic inspections are thorough inspections conducted by personnel trained in the safety, operation and maintenance of this equipment. ASME B30.21 states inspection intervals depend upon the nature of the critical components of the equipment and severity of usage.

Careful inspection on a regular basis will reveal potentially dangerous conditions while still in the early stages, allowing corrective action to be taken before the condition becomes dangerous.

Deficiencies revealed through inspection, or noted during operation, must be reported to designated personnel trained in safety, operation and maintenance of this equipment. A determination as to whether a condition constitutes a safety hazard must be decided, and the correction of noted safety hazards accomplished and documented before placing equipment in service.

Records and Reports

Inspection records, listing all points requiring periodic inspection should be maintained for all load bearing equipment. Written reports, based on severity of service, should be made on the condition of critical parts as a method of documenting periodic inspections. These reports should be dated, signed by the person who performed the inspection, and kept on file where they are readily available for review.

Load Chain Reports

Records should be maintained documenting the condition of load chain removed from service as part of a long-range load chain inspection program. Accurate records will establish a relationship between visual observations noted during frequent inspections and the actual condition of the load chain as determined by periodic inspection methods.

Frequent Inspection

The lever chain hoist should be inspected at the beginning of each shift. Visual inspections should also be conducted during regular service for any damage or evidence of malfunction which appears between regular inspections.

1.OPERATION. Check for visual signs or abnormal noises which could indicate a potential problem. Check chain feed through hoist and on 6 ton units the hook idler sheave. If chain binds, jumps or is excessively noisy or “clicks,” clean and lubricate the chain. If problem persists, chain may have to be replaced. Do not operate hoist until all problems have been determined and corrected.

2.HOOKS. Check for wear or damage, increased throat width, bent shank or twisting of hook. Replace hooks that exceed the throat opening discard width (15%) shown in Table 1 (refer to Dwg. MHP0040 on page 6) or are twisted (refer to Dwg. MHP0111 on page 6). If hook latch snaps past tip of hook, hook is sprung and must be replaced. Check hooks swivel easily and smoothly. Repair or lubricate as necessary.
