• Inspect cables, gripping arms, welds, and lifting points before each use for wear, damage, or deformation.
• Check all bolts, pins, and fasteners regularly to ensure they are secure and properly tightened.
• Keep moving parts, pivot points, and gripping surfaces clean and free from dust, stone particles, and debris.
• Lubricate hinges and moving mechanisms periodically to reduce wear and ensure smooth operation.
• Inspect lifting cables for fraying, kinks, corrosion, or excessive wear and replace damaged cables immediately.
• Never exceed the rated lifting capacity and always ensure slabs are balanced and securely positioned before lifting.
• Store the lifter in a clean, dry environment to help prevent corrosion and extend equipment life.
• Perform routine safety inspections and preventive maintenance to ensure reliable lifting performance and long-term durability.
