Incorrect operation methods can have a significant impact on electric hoists, and different geographical environments can also have a significant impact on electric hoists. Below, Guanhang will list three types of environmental impacts on electric hoists.
Firstly, in coastal areas, due to the abundance of seawater, some tiny water droplets are carried up into the air by the airflow and continuously dispersed. As a result, there is a lot of salt spray in the atmosphere, and the chloride ions in seawater are distributed in the air, causing significant damage to the oxide film on the metal part of the electric hoist, leading to metal corrosion.

Secondly, the environment in tropical high-temperature regions can cause electric hoists to be exposed to high temperatures and ultraviolet radiation for a long time, leading to thermal expansion of internal components such as bearings and gears, reducing the accuracy of electric hoist components and even causing deformation and displacement. This can also result in paint peeling off the surface of the electric hoist.
Thirdly, in extremely cold regions, high temperatures can cause the metal materials or circuits of electric hoists to become brittle and crack. At the same time, it is important to be cautious about the increased viscosity of lubricating oil used to lubricate electric hoists, which can increase friction and cause the transmission components of electric hoists to become "sticky".
These environments will have a certain impact on electric hoists, so maintenance work should be done well when using electric hoists in these areas to ensure their service life.
