Solutions for Chain Jamming of Hand Chain Hoist

Hebei Shengyu Lifting is a manufacturer of hand chain hoists with decades‑long professional manufacturing experience and strong technical capability, capable of handling all kinds of faults. So how should we deal with chain jamming of a hand chain hoist?

When the hand chain hoist gets chain jammed, stop operation at once. Never pull the hand chain forcibly to avoid safety accidents such as chain snapping and heavy‑object falling. Safely unload the lifted load first. Inspect the lifting chain for kinks, bends or sand and debris stuck in the chain groove. Clear foreign objects and straighten twisted chains. Check whether the hook is skewed. Ensure the chain bears force vertically and avoid angled lifting.

If chain jamming is caused by jamming of pawls, gear plates or worn internal parts, do not disassemble the hoist by yourself. Apply lubricating oil to the chain regularly in daily use, and replace deformed or cracked chains in a timely manner. For severe faults, arrange professional personnel for maintenance. Never continue lifting operations with faulty equipment.

Hand chain hoists belong to special‑purpose lifting equipment. Daily inspection, maintenance and standardized operation are essential.
