Is a winch a special equipment? Is it necessary to submit a notification before use, and apply for supervision and inspection?
The Special Equipment Safety Supervision Regulations define it as follows: Lift machinery refers to mechanical and electrical equipment used for vertical lifting or both vertical lifting and horizontal movement of heavy objects, and its scope is defined as elevators with a rated lifting capacity of 0.5 tons or more； Cranes with a rated lifting capacity of 1 ton or more, and a lifting height of 2 meters or more, as well as electric hoists with fixed load-bearing configurations, etc. Therefore, proper inspection procedures must be carried out before use.
Crane machinery refers to electromechanical equipment used for the vertical lifting or vertical lifting combined with horizontal movement of heavy objects; it is defined as elevators with a rated lifting capacity of 0.5 tons or more； Cranes with a rated lifting capacity of 1 ton or more, and a lifting height of 2 meters or more, as well as electric hoists with fixed load-bearing configurations, etc. Therefore, proper inspection procedures must be carried out before use.
You need to consider the load capacity and lifting height; as mentioned above, I won’t repeat it again
It falls under the category of special equipment, and relevant procedures must be handled at the technical supervision department
