First, the correct operation and use of training operators: to ensure that the operators have been professionally trained, familiar with the operating procedures and safety norms of the lifting platform. Operators should understand the working principle, operation method and safety precautions of the equipment and operate in strict accordance with the operation regulations to avoid damage to the equipment due to misoperation.
Avoid overloading operation: Load the lifting platform in strict accordance with its rated capacity, and do not overload it. Overloading will cause excessive pressure on the structure, hydraulic system and electrical system of the equipment and accelerate the wear and damage of the equipment. When loading goods, evenly distribute the weight and avoid partial loading to reduce the unbalanced pressure on the equipment structure.
Second, regular maintenance and maintenance Formulate maintenance plan: establish a regular maintenance system, according to the frequency of use and work intensity of the equipment, develop a detailed maintenance plan. The maintenance plan should include daily inspection, weekly inspection, monthly inspection, quarterly inspection and annual inspection, etc., and make clear the specific items, standards and responsible persons of each inspection.
Cleaning equipment: Keep the lifting platform clean and regularly clean the dust, debris and oil on the surface of the equipment. You can use a wet cloth to wipe or compressed air blowing and other ways to clean, to prevent dust and impurities into the internal equipment, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. For some parts that are difficult to clean, special cleaning agents can be used to clean them.
Lubricate the parts: Regularly lubricate the moving parts of the lifting platform, such as guide rails, chains, wire ropes, hydraulic cylinders and so on. Choosing suitable lubricants and lubricating them according to the specified time and dosage can reduce the friction between parts, lower the wear and tear, and improve the operation efficiency of the equipment. Before lubrication, clean the lubricated parts to ensure the lubrication effect.
Inspection and replacement of parts: Regularly inspect the various parts of the lifting platform, such as bolts, nuts, pins, bearings, etc., to see whether there is any looseness, wear and tear, deformation and other conditions. For the problems found, tighten, repair or replace them in time. At the same time, the quality and level of hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, brake fluid and other liquids should be checked regularly, and if there is any shortage or deterioration, it should be replenished or replaced in time.
Third, safety protection and storage – Installation of protection devices: Install necessary safety protection devices for the lifting platform, such as anti-drop safety devices, limit switches, buffers and so on. These devices can play a protective role in time to avoid accidents when the equipment is in abnormal situation, and also reduce the damage caused by collision and other reasons. – Make anti-rust measures: If the lifting platform is stored for a long time or used in harsh environments, it is necessary to make good anti-rust measures. You can apply antirust paint or antirust oil on the surface of the equipment, and wrap or cover the metal parts to prevent the metal from rusting. At the same time, avoid equipment contact with corrosive substances, such as acids and alkalis. – Reasonable storage of equipment: when the lifting platform is not in use, store it in a dry, ventilated, rainproof and sunproof place. The equipment can be lowered to the lowest position and supported to reduce the structural stress of the equipment. For equipment stored for a long time, regular inspection and maintenance should be carried out to prevent damage to the equipment due to long-term non-use. Fourth, equipment upgrading and transformation – Focus on technical development: pay attention to the technical development of the lifting platform industry, and keep abreast of new technologies and techniques. When there is a suitable technical upgrade programme, you can consider upgrading the equipment to improve the performance and reliability of the equipment and extend the service life of the equipment. For example, new hydraulic systems, control systems or materials can be used to optimise and upgrade the equipment. – Evaluate the feasibility of transformation: Before upgrading and transforming the equipment, the existing condition of the equipment should be comprehensively evaluated and the feasibility and necessity of transformation should be analysed. It is necessary to consider the structure of the equipment, the working principle, the use of the environment and other factors to ensure that the transformation programme will not have a negative impact on the overall performance and safety of the equipment. At the same time, the costs and benefits of the renovation should be assessed to ensure that the renovation is economical and practical.
