This manual describes the assembly and use of the Shuttle lift system (or simply “Shuttle”) 

for the vertical transport of goods on (mobile) scaffolding.
Before starting to assemble and use the Shuttle, you need to carefully read this manual and 

understand its contents. The Shuttle must be assembled and used entirely in accordance 

with the instructions in this manual.
All instructions and directions in this manual must be strictly adhered to.

Failure to follow these instructions and directions could lead to accidents. De Liftfabriek 

cannot be held liable for damage if the Shuttle is not assembled and used in accordance 

with this manual.
The employer, supervisor and user are responsible for the correct application of the Shuttle. 

They must check to ensure that the Shuttle is the correct lift solution for the intended 

operations. 
The employer, supervisor and user must carry out a thorough risk analysis prior to assembly 

and use of the Shuttle and act in accordance with the results thereof. They must also ensure 

that this manual is always present at the workplace when working with the Shuttle.
It is expressly stated that the Shuttle may only be used on scaffolding that complies with the

APPLICATION OF THE SHUTTLE ON (MOBILE) SCAFFOLDING

Scaffolding in combination with the Shuttle may only be assembled, disassembled or 

modified under the direction of a competent person and by employees who have received 

adequate training for the intended work with regard to specific risks, which training is 

particularly aimed at:
   

• 

  Understanding the assembly, disassembly and the construction and conversion 

        schedule of the relevant scaffolding and Shuttle  

  

 •  

 Safe assembly, disassembly or conversion of the relevant scaffolding and Shuttle

   

• 

  Measures to prevent the risk of people or objects falling

     

   Safety measures in case of changing weather conditions that may affect the safety of 

        the relevant scaffolding and Shuttle

   

• 

  Permissible load on the different parts of the scaffolding and Shuttle

   

•   

Any other risk that the aforesaid assembly, disassembly or conversion work may entail

The person in charge of the work and the employees involved must have access to this 

manual. This manual must, therefore, always be present on the scaffolding whenever and 

wherever the Shuttle is in use.
