I have seen operators let the chain get slack, only to let the carriage bang once the clamp is released. A properly charged accumulator solved the problem.

If you don't correct the situation, your hoist cyl packings will also begin to leak. It wasn't until this stage did the customer allow me to install the accumulator

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
