"CHECKS ON THE LIFTING CHAINS"
Noise of the chains
If the chains are not fully lubricated, the iron will produce a grinding noise. This causes
metal against metal friction between the joints of the chain, which can lead to a
jamming-slipping effect, causing the work platform to move in an uneven fashion.
Superficial rust
Plates with rusty surfaces are easily recognisable by the typical brown colour. Rust
can lead to the chains breaking.
Rust on the joints
The corroded connection points are recognisable by their red-brown colour. This
phenomenon can arise from the lack of lubrication or use of grease and oil that is not
suitable for penetrating the joints.
