William Hackett SS-C4 QP chain hoists are assembled, chained and tested to the height of lift specified by the end user. Careful consideration should be given to the headroom required to lift the load and the position of the operator before specifying the length of load chain and the hoist model.
Pre-use Checks Before issue from the designated storage location the certification supplied with the SS-C4 QP chain hoist should be confirmed as within date. The label on the hoist should be fully legible and it should correspond with the relevant certification.
Hoist Attachment / Mounting Check the correct engagement of the top and bottom hooks. The hooks should be free to articulate fully when engaged with the load attachment points without overcrowding or point loading that is detrimental to the hook in any way.
Do not attempt lifting operations unless you understand the use of the equipment, the lifting and slinging procedures and you have been suitably trained. William Hackett SS-C4 QP chain hoists are not designed for lifting people and should not be used for that purpose.
Check the SS-C4 QP chain hoist Service and Inspection Log for the number of exposures and the total duration the SS-C4 QP has been in use. The SS-C4 QP chain hoist can be used as many times as the project requires over 31 day multi immersion period however when the SS-C4 QP chain hoist is in between immersions the William Hackett Immersion Policy, Procedures and Storage Control must be adhered to.
Practical Considerations for use of the SS-C4 QP in the offshore environment All William Hackett hoists are suitable for use in the offshore environment but the SS-C4 QP chain hoist has additional features to enable the chain hoist to be used subsea.
