Common failures & inspection points
Brake system inspection: check oil-bath disc brake and/or band brake for wear, oil level, and correct spring tension; verify fail-safe engagement under load
Wire rope/cable inspection: examine for broken wires, kinks, corrosion, flattening, and correct fleet angle onto drum; check termination and drum anchor point
Drum and flanges: inspect drum surface for grooves, cracks, and corrosion; verify proper level-winding and equal rope layering across drum width
Gearbox inspection: check for oil leaks, correct oil level and grade, unusual noise or vibration; inspect planetary or worm gear mesh and bearing condition
Motor and drive unit: test electric/hydraulic/pneumatic motor for overheating, abnormal current draw, air/fluid leaks, and correct pressure or voltage at rated load
Structural and mounting integrity: inspect winch frame, foundation bolts, welds, and deck/base plate for cracks, corrosion, and proper torque; verify lifting lug condition if applicable
Control system and limit switches: function-test control valves, push-buttons, remote controls, overload protection, and any automatic load-sensing devices; verify emergency stop operation
Corrosion protection and coating: inspect paint/coating condition (ISO 12944 C4-High or marine-grade systems); treat any bare metal areas and check sacrificial anodes on marine installations
