6.4 Testing
Before using, all altered, repaired or used hoists that have not been operated for the previous 12 months must be tested
by the user for proper operation.
Test the unit without a load and then test the unit with a light load of 50 pounds (23 kg) times the number of load
chain supporting parts to be sure that the hoist operates properly and that the brake holds the load when control
is released.
Next test with a load of 125% of the rated capacity. In addition, hoists in which load sustaining parts have been
replaced, you should test the load with 125% of rated capacity by or under an appointed person and a written
report prepared for record purposes.
In accordance with the CMAA 78, it is required to have a 100% load test preformed every four years.
