ASME HST-3:2017 pdf download.Performance Standard for Lever Hoists.

All equipment selected in accordance with this Standard shall perform satisfactorily when used In accordance with ASME B30.21,

Chapters 21.2 through 21-4 and used within the rated load.

All equipment shall provide for operating lever pull, lift, and headroom in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications or

the specifications agreed upon by the manufacturer and user.

SECTION 3-1.2 APPLICATION

Lever hoists shall be suitable for lilting or lowering, pulling or tensioning loads within their rated load. They shall be capable of being used in pulling or tensioning applications at any angle, provided the load block, lifting medium, and hoist body are not restricted from forming a straight line with the direction of loading.

The hoists covered by this Standard are intended for Industrial use In ambient temperatures from 0°F to 130°F (—18°C to 54°C) and should perform satisfactorily when applied and operated In the manner described in this Standard. The user should consult with the manufacturer for lever hoists to be used in hazardous (classified) locations or under abnormal operating conditions. Refer to

ASME B30.21 for construction, installation, inspection, testing, operation, and maintenance.

Because of varying environmental conditions, loading, and usage, the hoist service life is interrelated to the type and frequency

of maintenance performed on the unit.
