Tips For Safe Operation
In the mining industry, it is essential to ensure a safe winching operation since every situation has the risk of personal injury. Before using it, you should familiarize yourself with the operation and always keep safety in mind. There are several steps for safe operation:
- 1. Before operation: inspect the equipment before operation. For instance, check the rope condition to make sure it is not frayed or broken. The rope should be properly wound around the drum.
- 2. During lifting and pulling operation: the operator should stand clear of the rope and load during operation. Keep others away. Never exceed the rated load capacity. Do not use it to move persons. Never leave the winch with less than 5 wraps of wire rope around the drum.
- 3. After lifting operation: maintain your equipment on a regular basis to extend its working life. Keep the rope and drum clean; since each winching situation is different, a good judgment and consistent focus on safety are critical. If you have any question, please feel free to contact us.
