The inspection and maintenance intervals outlined in this section are considered a minimum. Recommended in the
schedule are minimum inspection and maintenance intervals based on average daily use in a normal environment.
ACI Wire Rope hoist was designed to meet a specific duty classification as described by the FEM "Rules for the Design of
Serial Lifting Equipment" and is to be used in accordance with the duty rating identified on the equipment nameplate. For
more details regarding hoist duty cycles and average daily use, please reference FEM Section IX, Series Lifting
Equipment or the Hoist Duty Classification page in this manual.
Listed on the Recommended Inspection and Maintenance Plan are inspection frequencies and requirements. Perform
these inspections regularly as scheduled and additional inspections as may be required for activity, service, and
environment of the hoist. The hoist operator must be responsible for determining the operating conditions and severity of
service.
Definitions of service from ASME B30.16 are as follows:
Normal service
- involves operation of the hoist with randomly distributed loads within the rated load limit, or uniform
loads less than 65% of rated load, for not more than 25% of the time for a single work shift.
Heavy service
- involves operation of the hoist within the rated load limit that exceeds normal service.
Severe service
- involves operation of the hoist in normal service or heavy service with abnormal operating conditions.
A hoist that is not in regular service, that has been idle for a period of one month or more, but less than one year, shall be
inspected in accordance with the requirements for frequent inspection before being placed into service.
A hoist that is not in regular service, that has been idle for a period of one year or more, shall be inspected in accordance
with the requirements for periodic inspection before being placed into service.
The inspection intervals listed above are nominal recommendations for reference purposes only. They are
based on single shift operation under normal operating conditions and normal environmental conditions.
Actual operating and environmental conditions should be reviewed by a qualified person and inspection
intervals established on the recommendations of the qualified person.
