NSPECTION EFORE TARTING ORK
Before starting work, inspect the unit including the suspension, equipment and supporting
structure for visual defects, e. g. deformations, damage, cracks, wear and corrosion marks.
In addition also check that hoist and/or load are correctly attached.
Inspection of the supporting structure
The supporting structure has to be selected to ensure that it has sufficient stability and the
expected forces can be safely absorbed.
Make sure that no impermissible additional loading may occur as a result of fitting the hoist
(e.g. by side pull).
The selection and calculation of the appropriate supporting structure are the responsibility of
the operating company.
Inspection of the trolley
• Check the adjustment of the trolley width.
• The setting of the threaded spindle must be secured with the locking lever.
• The side plates must be parallel to each other.
• All wheels must be in contact with the beam flange.
ATTENTION: The trolley must never be used on beams with flange widths that exceed
the maximum adjustable width of the trolley.
Checking the travel path
Before starting work, check the unit for faultless passage on the beam. Any existing obstacles
must be eliminated.
In addition, check the correct fastening and position of the end stops.
Inspection of the supporting pin
The supporting pin must be checked for cracks, deformations, damage, wear and corrosion
marks. In particular, check the material thickness on the thinnest point. The supporting pin
must be replaced, as soon as the load carrying cross section has been reduced by 5% as a
result of wear or damage.
O
PERATION
Installation, service, operation
Operators delegated to install, service or independently operate the hoist must have had
suitable training and be competent. Operators are to be specifically nominated by the
company and must be familiar with all relevant safety regulations of the country of use.
Moving the trolley clamp
The push-type trolley is actuated by pushing the attached load or the suspended load lifting
attachment. It must not be pulled.
