EQUIPMENT CARE
FINISHING OFF
Lower any raised load and detach from the lifting hook.
Detach the hoist from its suspension point and

Attach the hoist to a suitable tested suspension or
anchorage point, using the body hook. Make sure the
gate is correctly closed before proceeding.
Where the item to be moved has a dedicated lifting eye
this should be used.

GETTING STARTED
Double check that the hoist you have hired has a
sufficient Safe Working Load (SWL) for the item being
lifted.
Make sure that the hoist you have hired has a long
enough load chain.
Check and confirm that the suspension/anchorage
point is tested and certified to the equivalent (or
preferably greater) SWL of the hoist.
Visually inspect the hoist, paying special attention to
the condition of the chains and hooks.
Check that the lifting hook assembly has not been
looped between the chains. Looped chains will damage
the equipment and may cause the equipment to fail
during a lift.
Chains should be clean and free from dust, dirt,
moisture and grease. If the chain is gouged, twisted or
has distorted or damaged links DO NOT USE IT, return it
to HSS Hire.
