MAINTENANCE
4.1 The TCR range of hoists are heavy duty pneumatic hoists and built to require little maintenance if they are kept lubricated and maintained.
The maintenance required will depend on daily operating times, the conditions, quality of the air supply and the percentage of the WLL
regularly being lifted. The operators daily checks and the monthly maintenance checks are necessary to check the condition of the hoist.
Maintenance work should be carried out by trained and qualified personnel.
It is recommended that in the case of the TCR & TCS hoist and air trolleys inspections are carried out in accordance with the following
schedule, although the frequency of the ‘six month inspection’ should be increased in high risk environments, aggressive environments or
where the usage is particularly heavy to between one and three months.
EVERY DAY / WEEK (DEPENDING ON USAGE)
The items listed under ‘checks before use’ in Section 1 (Getting Started) of the manual should be examined.
It is recommended that the lubricator is ‘topped up’ as a part of this inspection routine.
AT LEAST ONCE PER MONTH FOR HOISTS IN CONSTANT USE OR EVERY THREE MONTHS LIGHTLY USED UNITS
LOAD CHAIN - Thoroughly examine throughout its length for wear in the links, corrosion, cracks or distortion. If the wear in the links
exceeds that stated in the chart, the chain should be replaced. If there are any visible cracks or distortion the chain should be replaced.
Any wear should be measured and checked against section 10.1.
BRAKE - With a load applied check the brake efficiency. If there is any delay in actuation or slippage, the brake is defective and the hoist
must be thoroughly overhauled before being returned to service.
HOOKS, SWIVELS AND CLAWS - Examine hooks for wear, deformation (refer to chart), nicks and gouges. Ensure that the hooks swivel
smoothly and that the safety claw opens fully and closes under spring tension.
CHAIN ANCHOR PIN - Examine for wear and deformation.
NUTS AND BOLTS - Using suitable spanner and Allen key, check for any loose nuts and bolts.
UPPER AND LOWER LIMIT - Ensure that it functions correctly in both the fully raised and fully (chain lever) lowered positions.
CHAIN COLLECTOR - Check security and condition.
It is recommended that the load chain and linkages are lubricated as part of this inspection routine.
When repairing Red Rooster air hoists only original Red Rooster products should be used.
4.2 Only minor repairs such as silencers, safety catches, pendant repairs, replacing shorter lengths of load chain and inspections should be done
in location after this the hoist should be lowered to ground level and taken to a workshop.
If the hoist is taken out of service it should be sent to an approved repairer to be fully dismantled, repaired and tested.
Only Red Rooster approved parts should be fitted to the hoist but good quality European or Japanese load chain and bearings can be used
but other than that only Red Rooster supplied parts should be used.
Hoist and trolleys are heavy along with some parts of some hoist so suitable lifting equipment should be used to dismantle and assemble
hoists.
