Why it is repeatedly stressed to lift vertically when using lifting belts

Why it is repeatedly emphasized that the hook should be perpendicular to the center of gravity of the weight when using the lifting belt for lifting operations? This is to ensure the safety of lifting operations. The reason why vertical hoisting is so valued is that in recent years, there are too many serious injury accidents caused by inclined hoisting, and many people lack the basic safety meaning and physical knowledge.

When using the lifting belt for lifting, ensure that the lifting point and the center of gravity are in a vertical line, so that the weight will not shake during the lifting process. On the contrary, if the two are not vertical, the weight will make a "pendulum movement". The greater the deviation angle, the greater the swing amplitude, the greater the kinetic energy, and the greater the damage caused by moving the surrounding equipment.

Therefore, when using the lifting belt for lifting operations, we must prevent the pendulum movement, and the most effective method is vertical lifting, while other workers should enhance their awareness of safety protection, avoid walking under and around heavy objects, to prevent accidents such as smashing or bumping.
