The selection and use of lifting tools in the construction industry

Nov 5, 2024

In the construction industry, lifting tools are indispensable equipment for lifting and handling materials. Lifting tools are widely used in various construction projects to complete material lifting and handling work. Different types of lifting tools have their own characteristics and play different roles in different construction environments. Its main categories include fixed and mobile lifting equipment, such as tower cranes, electric hoists, chain cranes, sling gear, gantry cranes and bridge cranes. The application of lifting tools in the building environment can effectively improve the construction efficiency, reduce manpower investment, and improve the safety and accuracy of the operation.

Types of lifting tools

Cranes: These are heavy machinery designed to lift and move large loads. There are several types of cranes, including:
Mobile cranes: Versatile and can be transported to different locations.
Tower cranes: Commonly used in tall buildings, these cranes offer significant height and load capacity.
Bridge cranes: Commonly found in factories and warehouses, they move horizontally along a fixed path.
Cranes: These are devices used to lift or lower loads. They can be manually operated or powered, and common types include:
Electric hoist: suitable for repetitive lifting tasks.
Chain cranes: Suitable for heavy loads, often used in construction and manufacturing.
Forklifts: These are essential for lifting and transporting materials over short distances.
Lifting beams and spreaders: These tools are used to evenly distribute the load while lifting, minimizing the risk of tilt or sway.
Slings: Used with cranes and hoists, slings are made of a variety of materials (e.g., chains, wire ropes, synthetic materials) and are essential for safely holding loads.

Factors that should be considered when choosing lifting tools

Load weight and dimensions: Always determine the weight and dimensions of the load. The rated load of the tool must be greater than the maximum desired weight to ensure safety.
Lift height and distance: Consider how high the goods need to be lifted and how far they need to move. This affects the type of crane or hoist required.
Environmental conditions: Different tools are suitable for different environments. For example, electric hogs may not be suitable for wet environments, while some forklifts are better suited for rugged terrain.
Frequency of use: For frequently used tools, investing in higher quality, more durable equipment may be more cost-effective in the long run.
Operator skill level: Evaluate operator training and experience. Complex machinery requires skilled operators to minimize risk.
Regulatory compliance: All lifting tools must comply with local and national safety codes. It is critical to verify that the equipment complies with the standards set by organizations such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

The best way to use lifting tools

Training and Certification: Ensure that all operators are trained and certified on the equipment they will be working with. Regular refresher courses help maintain high safety standards.
Pre-operation inspection: Thorough inspection of lifting equipment before each use. Check the wear and function of safety devices and ensure that all components are in good condition.
Load testing: Load testing of new or repaired equipment to ensure that it can safely handle the expected load.
Proper rigging: Use proper rigging technology to fix the load. This includes choosing the right type of sling, ensuring that the sling is not twisted or kinked, and distributing the load evenly.
Maintenance and maintenance: Discuss the daily maintenance and maintenance of lifting tools to extend the life of the equipment and ensure safe use.
