FIELD OF USE
The machine is designed and made to protect from accidental fall of things from
above.
It is used to protect operators when they have to work near lifting machines under
risk of falling things/liquids by accident or to protect pedestrians walking by during
these construction works with a punnet or aerial lifting platforms.
Besides, the machine is designed and made to shelter pedestrians from rain, snow,
hail, and sun, e.g. when pedestrians are queuing waiting at the entrance of a museum
or cinema; thus, they can be sheltered by the pedestrian tunnel. Plus, it is possible to
create a protected path against bad weather conditions between two public buildings,
such as schools, hospitals, town halls, etc.
FORBIDDEN USES
The machine is designed to protect from accidental falls of
weights within the limits given in the paragraph “technical data
and characteristics”.
The use of the machine does not eliminate the risks deriving from
the use of lifting equipment:
do not stand
under suspended weights.
The machine is designed for sites where the wind blows at a
maximum speed of 90 km/h (resistance tested on a single unit) as
given in the paragraph “technical data and characteristics”.
It needs to be specified that assembly of several units together
makes the structure more stable.
