Gorbel G Force IQ Monthly Inspection
Use this inspection for the monthly inspection of your packing hoist. Maintenance of the components of packing hoists is vital to ensuring proper operation.
Wire Rope-Look for any obvious external defects, damage or excessive wear. Check the lower end where it attaches to the handle, swivel assembly or tooling (by others) for signs of damage or excessive wear.
Wire Rope- Check the reduction of rope diameter below nominal diameter due to loss of core support, internal or external corrosion, or wear of outside wires; severely corroded or broken wires at end connections; or severely corroded, cracked, bent, worn, or improperly applied end connections.
Coil Cord Assembly-Look for any obvious external defects or damage caused by the wire rope of other external causes. Make sure all coil cord clamps are in place.
Slack Switch Adjustment-Using the handle, lower the wire rope until it goes slack. There should be no additional movement downward once it is slack. If the wire rope continues to pay out, stop immediately and perform the slack switch adjustment. Check the coil cord and air hose clamps on the wear ring to insure the wear ring is moving freely inside the actuator opening.
Handle-Check for smooth operation of the handle. • Slide Handle Only - Check operator present sensor for correct operation. Use a gentle puff of compressed air or a soft cloth to clean the sensor. Do not apply any pressure to the lens or do anything that may scratch it. Verify proper handle swivel functionality. • Pendant Handle Only - Check levers to make sure they function smoothly.
Handle I/O Connections-Check connections at handle (if equipped). Wipe off any oil or other contamination from either handle at this time. Clean the LCD screen as well.
Load Hook and/or Tooling-Check that the load hook is secured properly to the handle or swivel. Make sure lock washers are compressed completely and any other associated hardware is secure.
G-Force Assembly/Housing-Conduct a visual inspection of the entire G-Force unit.
Limit Switches-Verify that the upper and lower limit switches are operating properly. Verify that the slack switch is operating properly. Replace switches immediately if they are faulty.
