Single girder crane hook maintenance precautions

1. When repairing the crane, disassemble and inspect the hook, shaft, horizontal single-girder bridge crane, pulley, and bearings and clean and lubricate them. There should be no cracks in the hook, otherwise they will be handled according to regulations. The threaded parts should be tight and the bearings not damaged. When the pulley is rotated and knife marks or cracks appear at the thread relief groove, it should be scrapped and replaced.
 
2. Check the wear status of dangerous sections. When the wear degree is greater than 10% of the original height, it will be considered scrapped and replaced.
 
3. After overhaul, test the hook and suspend it for more than 10 minutes at 1.25 times the rated load. The elastic opening of the hook mouth shall not be higher than 0.25% of the original size, and there will be no deformation or cracks after lifting.
 
4.  After the plate hooks are riveted, the gap between the plates shall not be greater than 0.3mm.
