The main reason for the breakage of the lifting chain of a chain hoist

The lifting chain is an important load-bearing part in the lifting process of a chain hoist, which plays a crucial role in successfully completing lifting operations. If the chain suddenly breaks, it will mean that the lifting work cannot be completed, resulting in the loss of the original utilization value of the chain hoist. The reason for the chain breakage of the chain hoist.

1. The material used to manufacture the chain is brittle and lacks good toughness, making it easy to break. The welding interface between the chain links is firm and prone to detachment. During the lifting process, the chain is too tight, resulting in an increase in initial tension and causing the chain to break

2. Overloading in violation of regulations, exceeding the safe range of the chain hoist load, resulting in chain breakage. Failure to detect or handle worn parts in a timely manner can cause wear on the chain and sprocket, as well as between the chain links.

The above situations may cause the chain of the chain hoist to break. In order to ensure the smooth and safe completion of the lifting operation, it is necessary to choose high-quality products when purchasing and use them correctly to avoid unnecessary danger.
