What are the safety features of a hydraulic building hoist?

Hydraulic building hoists are equipped with several safety features to ensure secure operation. These include overload protection to prevent the hoist from lifting more weight than it is designed for, emergency stop buttons for immediate cessation of operations, safety hooks or shackles to secure the load, and lower limit switches to prevent over-lowering. Additionally, they often have a fail-safe valve system that locks the hoist in place if pressure is lost, and a cage or gate to protect operators from falling objects. Regular maintenance and inspection are also crucial for maintaining the safety of these hoists.
