Maintenance Tips
-
Inspect Cables & Pulleys Monthly: Ensure equal tension across all four cables to maintain synchronized lifting and prevent safety lock issues.
-
Lubricate Moving Components: Grease pulleys, cable sheaves, locks, and joints regularly for smooth, quiet operation.
-
Check Hydraulic System: Monitor fluid level and condition; replace oil annually to keep lifting performance consistent.
-
Test Safety Locks & Release System: Verify locks engage evenly on all posts—critical for 12,000 lb load stability and operator safety.
-
Tighten Bolts & Structural Parts: Inspect columns, crossbeams, and runways for loose hardware due to heavy-duty use.
-
Keep Runways Clean: Remove oil, debris, and buildup from diamond प्लेट surfaces to prevent slipping and corrosion.
-
Inspect Electrical Components: Check power unit, wiring, and control box—ensure proper 220V supply and no moisture exposure.
-
Monitor Lift Speed Changes: Slower lift times (normally ≤83 sec up) may indicate hydraulic or mechanical wear.
-
Annual Professional Service: Perform full inspection of cables, locks, and hydraulic system for long-term durability.
