5.0 Inspection
5.1 General
5.1.1 The inspection procedure herein is based on ANSI/ASME B30.16. The following definitions are from ANSI/ASME B30.16 and pertain to the inspection procedure below.
Designated Person – a person selected or assigned as being competent to perform the specific
duties to which he/she is assigned.
Qualified Person – a person who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of
professional standing, or who, by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter and work.
Normal Service – that distributed service which involves operation with randomly distributed loads
within the rated load limit, or uniform loads less than 65% of rated load for not more than 15% of the time.
Heavy Service – that service which involves operation within the rated load limit which exceeds
normal service.
Severe Service – that service which involves normal or heavy service with abnormal operating
conditions.
5.2 Inspection Classification
5.2.1 Initial Inspection – prior to initial use, all new, altered, or modified hoists shall be inspected by a designated person to ensure compliance with the applicable provisions of this manual.
5.2.2 Inspection Classification – the inspection procedure for hoists in regular service is divided into two general classifications based upon the intervals at which inspection should be performed. The intervals in turn are dependent upon the nature of the critical components of the hoist and the degree of their exposure to wear, deterioration, or malfunction. The two general classifications are herein designated as FREQUENT and PERIODIC, with respective intervals between inspections as defined below.
5.2.3 FREQUENT Inspection – visual examinations by the operator or other designated personnel with intervals per the following criteria:
Normal service – monthly Heavy service – weekly to monthly Severe service – daily to weekly Special or infrequent service – as recommended by a qualified person before and after each
occurrence.
5.2.4 PERIODIC Inspection – visual inspection by a designated person with intervals per the following criteria:
Normal service – yearly Heavy service – semiannually Severe service – quarterly Special or infrequent service – as recommended by a qualified person before the first such
occurrence and as directed by the qualified person for any subsequent occurrences.

For longer life, the load chain should be lubricated. The load chain lubrication should be accomplished after cleaning the load chain with an acid free
cleaning solution.
Apply Harrington lubricating grease (Part No. ER1BS1951) or an equivalent to industrial general
lithium grease, NLGI No. 0, to the bearing surfaces of the load chain links as indicated by the shaded areas in Figure 6-1. Also apply the grease to the areas of the load chain (shaded areas in Figure 6-1) that contact the load sheave. Insure that the grease is applied to the contact areas in the load sheave pockets.
Machine or gear oil (grade ISO VG 46 or 68 oil or equivalent) may be used as an alternative
lubricant but must be applied more frequently.
The chain should be lubricated every 3 months (more frequently for heavier usage or severe
conditions).
For dusty environments, it is acceptable to substitute a dry lubricant.
6.1.2 Hooks and Suspension Components:
Hooks – Bearings should be cleaned and lubricated at least once per year for normal usage.
Clean and lubricate more frequently for heavier usage or severe conditions.
Suspension Pins - Lubricate the chain pin and the top pin at least twice per year for normal usage;
more frequently for heavier usage or severe conditions.
6.1.3 Applying Grease to Hoist Gears:
Remove body B as instructed in Section 6.3. Remove old grease and replace the new grease (NLGI No. 2), at annual inspection. Temperature range of standard grease is -20˚C (-4˚F) to + 60˚C (140˚F). If the hoist is used at
temperatures below -20˚C (-4˚F) or above 60˚C (140˚F), consult the manufacturer or dealer since some parts should be changed.

6.1.4 Trolley:
Lubricate the following trolley components with NLGI (National Lubricating Grease Institute) #2 or
equivalent grease.
Track Wheel Gear – Clean and re-grease the Track Wheel gears and Hand Wheel output pinion
every three months (more frequently for heavier usage or severe conditions). Do not use an excessive amount of grease and avoid getting any grease on the running surfaces of the Track Wheels or the beam.
Trolley Wheel Bearings do not need to be lubricated and must be replaced if worn or damaged. Suspension Pins, Bolts and Shafts – Grease at least twice per year for normal usage (more
frequently for heavier usage or severe conditions).
