Cement pipe-making molds are used for making cement poles or pipes. To ensure a long service life, besides the quality of the mold material itself, proper use and maintenance are also crucial. The fundamental points of pipe-making molds are that the cylinder is made square and the dimensions are accurate, strictly adhering to the dimensions of the pole. Correct operating procedures must be followed when hoisting the equipment.

The main precautions for hoisting cement pipe molds are as follows:

**First, the hoisting point must be carefully determined.** The hoisting point must be accurate and aligned with the balance point. Using a lifting device with running wheels is the most suitable method.

**Generally, for steel mold poles no longer than 15 meters, an 8-meter hoisting distance is optimal. This optimal point lies precisely on the running wheels. Therefore, a specialized lifting device must be used. Using running wheels minimizes the overall impact on the cylinder and is the preferred choice for hoisting.**

**Second,** a lifting boom and hook are used for hoisting. The biggest difference is that the boom lifts the ring reinforcement hoisting point, while the specialized lifting device lifts the running wheels. The locking mechanisms also differ: the hook uses an open hook, while the specialized lifting device uses a rigid self-locking device, offering the highest safety level.

**When the mold is opened, the cylinder is the most vulnerable part and requires the most protection. Therefore, the hoisting process is crucial.** Another critical point is that the power tools used for the mold's connecting bolts must not be over-limited, as this can cause bolt deformation and damage. The grooves at the joints must be cleaned after each use.
