Periodic Maintenance and Inspection Schedule Daily 1. Visually inspect elevator for signs of corrosion or damaged components. 2. Inspect for any visual evidence of external cracks. Visible cracks indicate potential failure points, and if they are discovered, the elevator should be immediately removed from service. 3. Examine link support arm surfaces for deformation. If the surfaces are excessively worn, the elevator needs repair. (See ‘Inspection Wear Limits’ for maximum allowable wear) 4.
Inspection Wear Limits Link Support Arm • Nominal Arm Thickness – 3.000” (from contact area to top of body) • Minimum Arm Thickness after wear – 2.938” Bore (measured with bodies wedged apart to remove all slack in components) 1.

Operation To attach the elevator to the tubing, the elevator operator stands on one side of the tubing which is supported in a “spider” with the elevator on the opposite side of the tubing. The operator reaches around the tubing with one hand on either side of the tubing. The elevator is gripped by the handles of the elevator. The operator pulls the opened elevator to the tubing and then brings the two handles together so that the elevator is wrapped around the tubing.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should the maximum working load of 100 Tons be exceeded. It is wise to practice connecting and disconnecting the elevator onto the tubing to observe the retainer and lock operation, to become familiar with and develop a routine, and to know the lock is set. Replacement Parts Repairs should only be made by GEARENCH™ or a repair facility authorized by GEARENCH.
