ATTENTION: Actual operating conditions (e.g. operation in galvanizing facilities) can
dictate shorter inspection intervals.
Repair work may only be carried out by a specialist workshop that uses original Yale spare
parts. The inspection (mainly consisting of a visual inspection and a function check) must
determine that all safety devices are complete and fully operational and cover the condition of
the unit, suspension, equipment and supporting structure with regard to damage, wear,
corrosion or any other alterations.
Initial operation and recurring inspections must be documented (e.g. in the CMCO works
certificate of compliance).
If required, the results of inspections and appropriate repairs must be verified. If the hoist (from
1 t lifting weight) is fitted on or in a trolley and if the hoist is used to move a lifted load in one or
several directions, the installation is considered to be a crane and the further inspections must
be carried out, as required.
Paint damage should be touched up in order to avoid corrosion. All joints and sliding surfaces
should be slightly greased. In the case of heavy contamination, the unit must be cleaned.
The unit must be given a general overhaul after 10 years, at the latest.
In particular, check the dimensions of the supporting pin. They must be compared with the
dimensions specified in the table.
ATTENTION: After the replacement of components, a subsequent inspection by a
competent person is obligatory!
Repairs may only be carried out by authorized specialist workshops that use original
Yale spare parts.
After repairs have been carried out and after extended periods of non-use, the load lifting
attachment must be inspected again before it is put into service again.
The inspections have to be initiated by the operating company.
