Lifting chains are very common in lifting and hoisting. However, due to material problems, lifting chains can be easily damaged, and this, coupled with non-standard application, has resulted in the early costing of many of the original cost effective products and increased application costs. What should we do to alleviate the damage of lifting chains? First of all, the tension of the lifting chain should be mastered. Many companies apply lifting chains, not tight is loose, too tight will cause the transmission chain output power to increase, and finally damage, too loose will cause the transmission chain jump chain, can not achieve the actual effect of application. Secondly, the oil should be dripped on time during the whole process of applying the lifting chain, which will not only increase its service life, but also further improve its working efficiency. Finally, the storage of transmission chain is also very important. Generally, all the chains are stored in dry and naturally ventilated areas, and the chains that are not used much should be maintained regularly with oil drops to prevent them from being leached.
