NOTE! Other lifting devices may apply that affect the load combination
.
See the
appli-
cable documentation.
Lateral forces occur e.g. when pressure is applied to the lifting trolley or the load, or by
pulling using a tool or other machine part on the platform. If a lateral force is applied to
the load, the tipping angle will increase.
Always observe the utmost caution as it is very difficult to determine how great the cur-
rent lateral force is.
To achieve safe and efficient operation, the lifting trolley may be fitted with several dif-
ferent types of lifting devices. The current capacity for the lifting trolley with accessories
is shown in the instruction manual and in the marking on the lifting device.
If the lifting trolley is altered in relation to its original design as delivered, the original
CE marking no longer applies.
In addition to the built-in safety features, additional safety measures may be necessary
to the lifting trolley or in its vicinity. Discuss appropriate measures with a Hallins repre-
sentative or with a safety officer or equivalent.
We recommend that a Risk analysis is prepared based on the Machinery Directive for
the relevant working situation.
Platform extensions, unevenly distributed loads, point loads or horizontal loads are not
permitted, unless this has been specified as permitted for the case in question. Selec-
tion of the appropriate lifting trolley is based on the load requirements that apply for
each individual application.
The lifting trolley is dimensioned according to the following load
combinations:
• 100% of the rated load spread over the entire surface of the
platform
• Point loads not permitted
• The load’s centre of gravity is assumed to be in the centre of the
platform
• Lateral forces not permitted
5 SAFE USAGE
The lifting trolley has been designed and fitted with safety devices to prevent and av-
oid injury and accidents. It is nevertheless very important that the user has been pro-
perly instructed in the lifting trolley’s usage.
• Only use the lifting trolley for its intended purpose.
• The lifting trolley may only be operated by people who have been properly instructed
and are authorised to use it. Work tasks are planned and executed in accordance with
instructions from the works management.
• Remember that you as user are responsible for ensuring no one is injured.
• The lifting trolley and the work area must be in perfect condition. Defects must be re-
ported to the works management. Never use the lifting trolley if damage or faults have
occurred that affect operational safety. Never use the trolley if it has been repaired, mo-
dified or adjusted without permission or approval of the person responsible for the
trolley.
• Ensure that the lifting trolley is used on a fixed, level and horizontal surface. Maximum
incline 2%.
• The operator must have full supervision of the lifting trolley and all parts of the load
for the entire time it is in motion.
• The lifting trolley must be used in such a way that injury to person or damage to pro-
perty never occurs.
• Wear protective boots, and if the work task requires it, protective gloves and protecti-
ve clothing and other personal protective equipment.
• Operate the lifting trolley from the position behind the trolley handle. The lifting trol-
ley can be fitted with control unit that allows it to be operated from different positions.
• Never put your hands, arms or other body parts or objects in the lifting device when
the platform/lifting device is raised.
• Do not lower the platform/lifting device unless the space below it and below the load
is free from people or obstructions.
• Do not drive the lifting trolley in its raised position. Be aware that there is a risk for tip-
ping for both the load and lifting trolley.
• Never allow the lifting trolley to come into contact with nearby objects.
REMEMBER THAT THERE IS A GREAT RISK OF INJURY CAUSED BY CRUSHING WHEN WORKING CLOSE
TO MACHINERY!
• Pay attention to the risk of collision with other mobile machines and equipment in the
workplace.
• Safety devices must not be put out of service or removed.
• Modifications to the lifting trolley that affect operational safety are not permitted.
• Signs and markings must not be removed or made illegible. See also list of signs, Sec-
tion 13. Check regularly to ensure the signs are intact.
• Only handle loads that have been arranged in a stable and safe way. The load must be
carried by the entire platform/lifting device rather than just parts of it.
• Only loads that are within the permitted lifting capacity of the lifting trolley may be
