PREREQUISITES AND LIMITATIONS
The R27 INCAR trolley has been designed to support any accidental operator fall. In order to guarantee its correct
operation, and maintain the mechanical integrity in case of fall, each user must wear the Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) recommended by workplace safety regulations.
All PPE must be certified and marked according to the relevant national regulations for the country of use. By using
the Personal Protective Equipment, in case of a fall, the force transmitted to the operator (and consequently to the
trolley sliding on the rail) will be no greather than a maximum 6 kN. Personal fall-arrest systems include, but are
not limited to: a energy-absorbing mechanism, lanyard and a full body harness to limit the maximum arresting
force to 6 kN.
Personal fall-arrest systems used with this equipment must meet controlling regulations for the country of use.
Fall clearance : There must be sufficient clearance below the user to arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground
or other obstruction and it consists of the stopping distance plus the free space of 1 m under the feet of the user.
See appropriate documentation published by regulatory authority.
WARNING!
It is essential for safety to verify the fall clearence required beneath the user at the work place
before each occasion of use so that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the ground
or other obstacle in the fall path.
WARNING!
The maximum value of deflection of the trolley and displacement of the anchor point that can occur
in service is 20 mm. Consider this value in order to evaluate the fall clearance correctly.
