This chain hoist inspection template helps teams verify the safety and condition of lifting equipment. Record hoist details such as manufacturer, MRC/WLL, height of lift, and asset number, attach photos, and capture locations. Inspect key components including chains, hooks and safety catches, chain bags, anchors, motors, couplings, mountings, limit switches, and overall visual condition. Check electrical items like control and power cables, and review ancillary rigging for damage, twists, frays, kinks, and proper SWL markings. Note transmission noise or vibration, lubrication status, and any required adjustments or repairs. Document defects, list actions to make equipment safe, and maintain compliance for safe lifting operations.
