ORRECT
PERATION
The hoist is used for overhead horizontal moving of suspended loads up to the indicated max.
load capacity.
ATTENTION: The unit may be used only in situations in which the load carrying
capacity of the device and/or the supporting structure does not change with the load
position.
Any different or exceeding use is considered incorrect. Columbus McKinnon Industrial
Products GmbH will not accept any liability for damage resulting from such use. The risk is
borne by the user or operating company alone.
The load capacity indicated on the unit is the maximum working load limit (WLL) that may be
attached.
The selection and calculation of the appropriate supporting structure are the responsibility of
the operating company.
The attachment point and its supporting structure must be designed for the maximum loads to
be expected (deadweight of the unit + load capacity).
The hoist is suitable for a wide range of beams as well as for various profiles (e.g. INP, IPE,
IPB, etc.) with a max. inclination of the beam flange which does not exceed 14°.
The runway and its supporting structure must be designed for the maximum loads to be
expected (deadweight of the unit + load capacity). The runway must only have a deflection of
max. 1/500 of the span.
The longitudinal gradient of the travel path surface may not exceed 0.3%.
The air gap between the wheel flange and the beam flange ("dimension A") must range
between 1.0 and 2.5 mm on either side of the trolley (depends on model).
