2025 05/30

As a kind of lifting tool, the lifting pulley is widely used in lifting and hoisting in the fields of construction sites, power construction, bridge construction, highway construction, etc. So what kind of accident will occur when the pulley hook breaks? Let's take an example:
crane-hookhook-packing
 
A truck overturned on a highway, and a crane was called in to lift it. However, during the lifting and straightening process, the wire rope or the lifting pulley hook was suspected to be broken, causing the truck to fall suddenly. The people below were not evacuated in time, resulting in casualties.

According to the case, it can be judged that the accident occurred due to two major factors. First, the crowd was not evacuated in time during the lifting process, resulting in casualties. Second, the problem of the lifting equipment (hook, wire rope, pulley body, etc.) caused the truck to fall suddenly and cause an accident. Therefore, before using the lifting tools in daily life, you should first check whether there are any abnormalities in the lifting tools. If there are any, replace or repair them in time to avoid danger during the lifting process.
 
Crane hook manufacturer Hama recommends that you regularly maintain your lifting tools to extend their service life.
