The pail handling tool which is used to move 5 gallon pails around the target hall was inspected by A. Newsome, N. Jorgenson, and E. Lahe. The main tool as well as spare were checked for the following items. The tools are in good, working condition. It is noted that some fasteners on the hook assembly were slightly loose, but have been tightened.
- Inspect structural integrity of long tube - check for bending, warpage, dents, cracks, rust/corrosion
- Inspect structural integrity of hook assembly - check for bending, warpage, dents, cracks, rust/corrosion
- Inspect fasteners - check all fasteners installed as per drawings, fasteners are tight
- Inspect crane interface assembly - check for damage and wear where the tool connects to the crane
- Check alignment - verify the tool connects to the crane and hangs vertically with no major misalignment (this step was not done - alignment is regularly checked during operations, and there was no concern as the tube was straight)
Note: these tools are being inspected monthly by D. Wang and F. Song. |
