Use a short recorded pre-use observation of controls, brake response, limits, hook, rope/chain, travel path and unusual noise at the start of a shift.
What is the purpose?
A daily user check does not replace authorised periodic inspection or planned maintenance. It is a pre-shift observation intended to identify obvious abnormalities early and route them to the correct technical process.
- Early symptom
- Record
- Maintenance notification
- Safe start
What to observe in controls and motions
Emergency-stop access, button return, correct motion directions, unusual delay, harsh starts or unexpected motion should be recorded.
- Emergency stop
- Buttons
- Directions
- Motion response
What to observe in the load path
Check the hook and latch, visible rope/chain condition, block/sheave appearance, load attachment area and whether the travel path is clear.
- Hook and latch
- Rope/chain
- Block/sheave
- Travel path
What if an abnormality is found?
Do not repeatedly force the symptom to reproduce it. Place the equipment in a safe condition, record the symptom with short notes/photos/video and start the maintenance or service process.
- Safe stop
- Symptom record
- Photo/video
- Service notification
