Lug-All Come Along Ratchet Winch Hoists have always been crafted to meet high standards. The use of premium materials and precise construction ensures that Lug-All winch hoists provide reliable performance over many years. To ensure the longevity of your Lug-All equipment, it’s crucial to carry out regular inspections and maintenance.

Inspection Checklist

Before using a Lug-All winch hoist, you should conduct a basic pre-operational inspection by following these steps. If the hoist fails any of the inspection points, it should be taken out of service. Damaged winch hoists can either be sent to Lug-All for repair or fixed with replacement parts available from the Lug-All online store.

1. Examine the hooks for any signs of deformation, cracks, or excessive wear.
2. Ensure the latches operate smoothly without obstruction.
3. Inspect the full length of the web strap for fraying, melting, chemical damage, abrasive wear, cuts on the face or edges of the webbing, or any other damage.
4. Check the ratchet teeth for gouges, burred edges, or any other physical damage.
5. Look for bent or broken metal parts throughout the winch hoist.
6. Verify the condition of the pawls, checking for bends, cracks, or other damage.
7. Ensure the integrity of the springs remains intact.
8. Operate the u-frame and confirm that the u-frame pawl makes correct contact with the main frame pawl spring without missing it.
9. Test operational functions like lowering, lifting, and free release.
10. For web strap hoists, check the handle for a broken stress link. For wire rope hoists, examine the handle for bending or deformation. A broken stress link or bent handle indicates the hoist has been overloaded.

Operation Inspection

The Lug-All winch hoist operates in three modes: tensioning, backing off, and free release. To test the tensioning function, rotate the reverse lever towards the drum to engage the u-frame pawl against the ratchet teeth. Operate the handle accordingly to apply the appropriate tension.

To test the backing off function, turn the reverse lever away from the drum to move the u-frame pawl away from the ratchet teeth. Push the handle until the u-frame pawl engages the main frame pawl spring. Additional pressure in the same direction will release the main frame pawl. Ease the handle to lower the load one tooth at a time.

To test the free release function, turn the reverse lever away from the drum to move the u-frame pawl away from the ratchet teeth. Press the trigger to hold the main frame pawl away from the ratchet teeth.

Maintenance

Some corrosion is expected for Lug-All winch hoists used outdoors. Shafts and other moving parts can be lubricated with light oils or penetrants like WD-40 or similar products. Proper lubrication ensures the hoist works smoothly and freely. However, avoid spraying lubricant on the strap of Lug-All web strap hoists, as it can compromise the dielectric properties and damage the strap material.

Regular inspections of your Lug-All come along ratchet winch hoist help prevent unexpected maintenance issues down the road. Lug-All winch hoists are manufactured to strict quality standards, but poor maintenance can cause even the best products to malfunction. In severe cases, neglecting maintenance can lead to complete equipment failure—possibly during a critical task. Although Lug-All incorporates several safety features to keep you secure, unforeseen equipment failures can jeopardize your safety. Sticking to inspections and maintenance not only protects your equipment but also keeps you safe.
