Hoist Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Performance
Lug-All come-along ratchet winch hoists are built to last. Many of the units made over 30, 40, and even 50 years ago are still in use today. To ensure your hoist continues to perform reliably for years to come, regular maintenance is essential.
**Regular Inspections**
The first step in keeping your hoist in top shape is performing routine inspections. Before each use, take a few minutes to visually check all parts of the hoist. The open-frame design makes it easy to inspect hooks, ratchet teeth, pawls, and the line (whether webbing or wire rope). You should also test the operation: make sure the line pulls in smoothly and releases without resistance. A quick tension test can help identify any issues early on.
**Simple Maintenance**
Lug-All hoists require minimal upkeep. The aluminum alloy frame is resistant to corrosion, but moving parts may need occasional lubrication. Use a light oil or penetrating lubricant like WD-40 to keep components functioning smoothly. This simple step can extend the life of your tool significantly.
**Repairs Made Easy**
One of the key advantages of Lug-All hoists is their repairability. If a part becomes worn or damaged, you can easily find replacement parts through our online store. We also provide instructional videos to guide you through the repair process. For more complex repairs, our facility in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania, offers professional repair services using the same tools and techniques as when the hoist was originally manufactured.
By staying on top of inspections, performing basic maintenance, and addressing repairs promptly, you can ensure that your Lug-All ratchet winch hoist remains a dependable workhorse for many years to come.
