Hoist Pulleys
The grease fittings in the pulley bolts should be greased daily. When this
greasing is being done, the operator should also inspect the pulleys for wear. A
typical sign of dangerous wear is a flat spot being worn into one edge of the
pulley, this indicates that the pulley had stopped rotating and the cable has run
over the surface.
During a lift, the cable is under a large amount of stress and is extremely tight.
By running over a pulley without it rotating it can easily cut the pulley in half.
The operator should keep an eye on the pulleys while operating the hoist. If a
pulley ceases to rotate, the unit should be stopped immediately and the pulley
should then be inspected.
