Do I have to do any type of daily, weekly, or monthly maintenance on my hoist?
A yearly inspection of the hoist is required by OSHA. SPANCO recommends a yearly greasing be completed during the yearly inspection. SPANCO also recommends monthly inspection of wire rope. The oil on the gear reducer of the hoist drive should be changed after the first 500 operating hours, and then each 5000 operating hours thereafter.
Can the Lift Boss be operated outdoors?
Specific orders must be made for outdoor service hoists, but we do manufacture them.
Is the hoist equipped with an overload limit device?
A standard SPANCO hoist does not come equipped with an overload limit device, but this is an option that can be added when ordering a hoist.
Does the hoist have lower limit capability?
The standard SPANCO hoist only comes with an upper limit switch, but any hoist can be fitted with a rotary limit switch that will provide lower limit capability.
Will SPANCO custom design a hoist for my unique application?
SPANCO will custom design hoists for unique applications. Please contact a sales representative for details.
Is there a warranty on the hoist?
Yes, SPANCO provides a one year warranty on their Electric Wire Rope Hoists.
