This manual provides important information for all personnel involved with the safe installation and operation of
these products. Even if you feel you are familiar with this or similar equipment, you should read this manual before
operating the product.
AMH recognizes that most companies who use hoists have a safety program in force in their plants. In the event you
are aware that some conflict exists between a rule set forth in this publication and a similar rule already set by an
individual company, the more stringent of the two should take precedence. Safe Operating Instructions are provided
to make an operator aware of unsafe practices to avoid and are not necessarily limited to the following list. Refer to
specific sections in the manual for additional safety information. Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make
an operator aware of unsafe practices to avoid and are not necessarily limited to the following list.
Make this manual available to all persons responsible for the installation, operation and
maintenance of these products.
•
Do not use for lifting, supporting, or trans-porting people or lifting or supporting loads
over people.
•
Always operate, inspect and maintain in accordance with any federal, state or local
regulations and any other applicable safety codes.
•
The supporting structures and load-attaching devices used in conjunction with this
trolley must provide an adequate safety factor to handle the rated load, plus the weight of the trolley and
attached equipment. This is the customer's responsibility. If in doubt, consult a registered structural engineer.
•
To avoid an unbalanced load which may damage the trolley, the hoist must be centered under the trolley.
•
Ensure capacity of hoist does not exceed the rated capacity of the trolley assembly.
•
To avoid an unbalanced load, center hanger shaft between trolley plates using properly installed spacer washers.
•
Trolley wheels ride on the top of the lower flange of the beam.
•
Install manual chain hoists so that hoist hand chain is on opposite side of trolley hand chain.
•
Visually inspect components for distortion, wear and damage during installation. Replace any item indicating
damage, distortion and/or excessive wear.
•
Depending on the size you select, the trolley alone may weigh more than 400 lb (180 kg). If parts of the trolley
or hoist are dropped, they can cause severe injure or damage property. Adequately support the trolley when
lifting into place on the beam.
•
Severe injury can be caused by:
1) Falling under a moving load,
2) Being caught between a moving load and an object,
3) Tripping over an unseen object. To avoid injury, push to move the trolley, do not pull. Pushing will allow you
to stay out of the path of the load and also look in the direction you are moving.
Safe Operating Instructions are provided to make an operator aware of dangerous practices to avoid and are not
necessarily limited to the following list. Refer to specific sections in the manual for additional safety information. If
this trolley is used in conjunction with a hoist, also refer to the hoist manual for additional safe operating
instructions.
1) Before each shift, the operator should inspect the trolley for wear or damage.
2) Never use a trolley that inspection indicates is damaged.
3) Only attach a hoist having a rated capacity equal to or less than the capacity of the trolley.
4) Only operate a trolley when the load is centered under the trolley. Do not "side pull" or "yard."
5) Make sure all people are clear of the load path. Do not lift a load over people.
6) Avoid collision or bumping of trolley.
7) Ensure stops are securely installed at both ends of the beam prior to using trolley.
8) Never splice a hand chain by inserting a bolt between links.
9) Do not swing a suspended load.
1) To avoid an unbalanced load which may damage the trolley, the hoist must be centered under the trolley.
2) Ensure capacity of hoist does not exceed the rated capacity of the trolley assembly.
