Zoho Rigging Hardware FAQ

The main types of Rigging Hardware include:
Hook: used to hang and lift heavy objects, there are many types such as safety hooks, swivel hooks, etc.
Shackle: U-shaped or D-shaped metal ring used to connect wire ropes, chains and other lifting equipment.
Wire rope clamp: used to fix the end of the wire rope to ensure a stable connection.
Pulley: used to change the direction of the wire rope or rope and reduce the lifting force.
Lifting ring: used to provide a connection point during lifting and securing.
Swivel: used to prevent the wire rope or chain from twisting during lifting.

The following factors should be considered when selecting Rigging Hardware:
Load capacity: Determine the maximum weight required for lifting and fixing, and select hardware with the corresponding rated load.
Material and strength: Select suitable materials (such as steel, stainless steel, etc.) and strength grades according to the actual use environment.
Applicability: Select the type and size of hardware suitable for the specific lifting task.
Safety: Ensure that the hardware meets relevant safety standards and certifications, such as CE, ISO, etc.

When using Rigging Hardware, the following safety precautions should be followed:
Do not overload: Avoid exceeding the rated load of the hardware to prevent equipment and personal accidents.
Regular inspection: Check the hardware for wear, deformation or cracks before use to ensure that there is no damage.
Correct connection: Ensure that all connectors are tightened and installed correctly to avoid loosening or falling off.
Avoid sharp angles: Prevent the hardware from contacting with sharp angles to avoid damaging the wire rope or chain.
Follow the operating manual: Operate in accordance with the manufacturer’s operating manual to ensure safe use.

Maintenance of Rigging Hardware mainly includes:
Regular lubrication: lubricate parts that need to rotate or move to reduce wear.
Check fasteners: ensure that fasteners such as bolts and nuts are not loose.
Check wire ropes and chains: ensure that there is no wear, deformation or damage, and replace them in time.
Clean equipment: regularly clean dust and debris on the surface of hardware to keep the equipment clean.
Rust prevention: rust prevention of metal parts to extend service life.

Common faults and treatment methods include:
Hardware deformation or cracks: stop using it immediately and replace it.
Loose connection: check and tighten all connectors to ensure stability.
Pulley stuck: check whether the pulley bearing is normal, lubricate or replace the pulley.
Loose wire rope clamp: re-tighten the wire rope clamp to ensure a firm connection.

When using Rigging Hardware, the following regulations and standards should be followed:
National and local safety production regulations: Ensure that the use of equipment complies with relevant legal requirements.
Industry standards: such as ISO, ANSI, OSHA, etc., to ensure that the design and manufacture of equipment meet international standards.
Manufacturer’s operating manual and maintenance guide: Operate and maintain the equipment in accordance with regulations to ensure safety and efficiency.
