by Jinge on 2023-03-08

  Lifting tongs are a lifting tool used to transport steel plates and steels, and are now more and more widely used in industry. However, although the lifting tong tool is good, accidents may occur. So what is the reason for the accident of lifting tongs?

  1. Environmental factors: As the saying goes, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and the sudden change of the weather is something we cannot predict and avoid. In addition, the clutter of the construction site caused collisions during the transportation of steel plates. Environmental factors such as obstructions obstructing the line of sight, insufficient lighting, etc. lead to accidents. For this, we have to prepare for defense in advance.

  2. Factors of use: Misuse of use is the main factor of steel plate lifting tongs, accounting for more than 90% of accidents, especially for employees who have just adapted to work. Improper use mainly includes wrong lifting method, sudden lifting, illegal use, someone interfering with lifting and transportation in the use area, improper command and so on.

  3. Fault factors: equipment failure, electric shock caused by electrical damage, etc. may cause accidents during the operation of the steel plate clamp. Therefore, be sure to check whether the equipment can be used normally before lifting operations.

  4. Self-factors: The damage of the lifting clamp itself is also one of the causes of the accident. Whether there are cracks or damage on the surface. Whether there are cracks in the lifting ring, shaft hole, etc. There is no rust. The inspection and maintenance work of lifting tongs itself is also indispensable.

  One point to be emphasized in industrial production is that prevention is the first priority, and early inspection should not be regarded as a trivial matter.
