Previously, we mentioned that electric hoists can be used in conjunction with lifting straps. The lifting straps provide a fixed connection point for the electric hoist to complete lifting and hoisting work. However, there are some very important details that need to be taken seriously during the matching process. What are they?

Firstly, if we insert the eye of the lifting belt into the hook of the electric hoist, we must remember that the lifting belt must be kept in a fully extended state, and there should be no situation where the lifting belt is severely compressed, bent, or deformed due to the small inner diameter of the hook, which will increase the pressure and affect the strength of the lifting belt.

Secondly, the hook of an electric hoist usually has a safety pressure plate as the last safety protection, which plays a role in sealing the hook. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the lifting belt eye part has completely entered the hook without the pressure plate pressing on the lifting belt body.

Thirdly, if the inner diameter of the hook of the electric hoist does not match the lifting belt (mainly referring to the small diameter of the hook), we can use a shackle as an auxiliary and choose a sufficiently sized shackle as the intermediate connection to ensure the safety of the lifting operation.

These are some of the details involved in the use of electric hoists and lifting belts. We hope they can be helpful to everyone. If you want to learn more about electric hoists or lifting belts, please feel free to follow us at any time.
