Hoist Attachment / Mounting
Check the correct engagement of the top and bottom hooks. The hooks should be free to articulate fully when
engaged with the load attachment points without overcrowding or point loading.
Ensure that the suspension structure has sufficient load bearing strength and capacity to support the load
being lifted.
If more than one hoist is to be used in a fleeting arrangement, load attachment equipment should be chosen
that allows for the angles of the lift.
Do not use the load chain of the lever hoist as a chain sling. The lever hoist is a lifting appliance and suitable
lifting accessories should be incorporated into the lift plan to facilitate attachment to the load.
Make sure that the load chain is free from any twists or knotting. In the case of multi-fall lever hoists ensure that
the bottom hook has not been capsized causing chain twist.
