Downloads: 10+

Use this pre-start checklist to inspect winches used in conveyor belt work before operation. Verify wire rope specification and condition, cables and plugs, pendant controls, motor mounting bolts, guards, frame integrity, brake and clutch function, and check for air or hydraulic leaks. Confirm air winches have filters and lubricators, test run forward and reverse, and ensure the winch is securely anchored with rated chains or slings. Designed for belt contractors and maintenance teams in industrial and mining sites to improve safety and compliance.
