The lifting operation must be checked every time the lock is dropped


When the vehicle is under repair, if the lift has the following conditions


● sudden loss of oil pressure and oil pipe burst;


● sudden fracture of steel wire rope or chain;


● oil cylinder sealing ring is damaged;


● ……


Once these special circumstances occur, such as the mechanical safety lock fails to fall effectively, the vehicle gravity will cause the vehicle to slide rapidly on the boom, and it is easy to cause major accidents of vehicle injury and personal injury.


Then, when the vehicle is lifted, how to check the locking state to effectively prevent danger?


● when the vehicle is being lifted or lowered, the maintenance master must pay attention to the horizontal state and insurance state of the vehicle to ensure that the lock is effective before continuing to rise or descend;


● after the vehicle is lifted or lowered to the specified height, it must be locked and ensure that the locking is effective before the staff can carry out vehicle maintenance.

Locking is not only an important safety measure, but also can help the lift reduce the pressure of hydraulic cylinder, oil pipe, cylinder seal ring and other parts, protect the safety of people and vehicles, prolong the service life of the hydraulic system of the lift and prevent premature wear of the lift.
