2.5 Safety during operation
Incorrect handling or a lack of control can
expose personnel to danger of death!
• Perform a daily inspection of the lifting yoke
before each use.
• Perform a load inspection before each lift.
• The lifting yoke may only be operated using
remote control, where the operator is standing
on a firm surface and has a clear view of the
load.
• If there are several lifting yokes on site, make
sure that the registration number on the side
of the remote control corresponds with the
registration number on the lifting yoke’s rating
plate.
• The lifting yoke is not intended for lifting
people. Do not stand on or under a suspended
load.
• Connect the hook/shackle directly to the
load, or via a chain or sling to the load.
• Check that the safety lock on each hook/the
pin on each shackle is properly locked.
• The entire load must be securely lashed to
avoid falling items when lifting.
• The chain must be tensioned on both sides
before lifting may be carried out.
• Lift the load slowly to minimise acceleration
forces.
• Transporting and movement during lifting or
lowering are associated with danger. Adapt
the speed to minimise the danger to people
and equipment.
• Keep a careful lookout for people moving
within the risk zone. Make them aware that
transport is in progress.
• Observe the load constantly during operation.
• Make sure that nobody is at risk of being
crushed by the load when it is lowered, or
pushed in the event the load should start to
swing.
