Static Electricity; Correct Operation - Columbus McKinnon Yale HTP Serie Instrucciones De Servicio

23
HTP/G trolleys must always be operated from below. For additional safety and to avoid
sparking by impact or friction during operation, the units are equipped with solid bronze wheels
and buffers. Designs with geared-type trolleys (HTG) are equipped with stainless steel hand
chains.
Attachment points
Attachment points have to be selected to ensure that the expected forces can be safely
absorbed. The unit must align freely under load in order to avoid impermissible additional
loading.
S E
TATIC LECTRICITY
In order to avoid electrostatic charging on plastic parts, do not use parts of the attachment
(e.g. round slings) in the area of the hand lever.
Cleaning only with a damp cloth (when cleaning these components, make sure to apply only
materials which do not allow electrostatic charging).
Special feature of hydrogen (explosion group IIC): Hydrogen only requires an extremely small
energy for ignition. For this reason, we recommend that prior to application of the unit a
release measurement be carried out. The spark for ignition may be generated electrostatically
or mechanically by handling of a tool, for example.
C O
ORRECT PERATION
HTP/HTG ATEX trolleys are exclusively suitable for overhead horizontal moving of loads in
areas with an explosion hazard (see identification) up to the indicated max. load capacity.
ATTENTION Trolleys must be provided with buffers!
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%.
