Question

Technician A says that a hoist can be stopped at any level as long as the safety latch engages. Technician B says that the vehicle should be hoisted to the top of the hoist travel for safety. Which technician is correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Technician A is correct                    

Explanation:

            A hoist is a mechanical device which is used in lifting and lowering any bodies with the help of chain or ropes wrapped in a lift wheel or a drum. It can be manually operated or is pneumatically or hydraulically operated.

            A safety latch is a safety device which is attached to the hook of the hoist and it locks and prevents the object from falling. Thus the hoist is safe to stopped at any level when the safety latch is engaged.

Thus technician A is correct.
