The maintenance requirement for a building hoist can vary depending on the specific model and usage frequency. Generally, daily checks are needed to ensure safety, including inspecting cables, brakes, and the hoist mechanism. Monthly inspections should be conducted to check for wear and tear, and to lubricate moving parts. Annual inspections by a certified professional are often required to ensure compliance with safety standards and to perform more in-depth maintenance. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent accidents and extend the lifespan of the hoist.
