Why do we need to lay wooden pillows on mechanical jacks

When using a mechanical jack, if you encounter an old master, he will tell you to add some wooden pillows around the crane. This is the right thing to do and is beneficial for your safety. Now let's take a look at the purpose of doing this!

When using a tool, some wooden pillows should be added around it, with the main purpose of reducing damage to the tool, supported objects, and personnel when the tool is dumped.

When lifting goods, if wooden sleepers are not added around, in the event of a sudden accident, the machinery may fall and collide, which can also cause the machinery to be unusable.

Adding wooden sleepers is also to prevent damage to the supported objects. When the machinery is overturned, the supported objects will inevitably fall off, and there will be damage incidents when the supported objects fall on hard objects. Therefore, in order to avoid losses, wooden sleepers should be placed around the beginning of the lifting work.

When an object falls, it has a deterrent force that poses a threat to the safety of personnel; But when an object falls with a wooden pillow as a cushion, the harm to personnel will be reduced.
