Selecting other components for the system:
The most important part of the hoisting process is proper
planning to ensure your safety and the safety of others before
starting the work. Knowing proper hoisting techniques can
help keep you and others around you safe. Please be aware
of the information in this owner’s manual is general in nature.
Because no two situations are alike, it would be impossible
to review every potential use of a capstan hoist. This manual
provides you with the general principles and techniques to
help you use the capstan hoist safely and effectively.
ALWAYS take your time to assess your situation and plan
your lift carefully.
ALWAYS be aware of and comply with all federal, state, and
local safety regulations, industry standards, and internal
safety guidelines. A competent person shall apply careful
thought to choose the safest arrangement possible. As with
any project involving the lifting of loads, a competent person
must analyze the forces, the direction of those forces, and
consider what can happen in the event that there is a failure of
a component of the rigging system. This allows the competent
person to ensure the proper hoist, rope, blocks, and rigging
are used to minimize risks. A competent person shall thor-
oughly inspect the worksite and equipment to spot potential
safety issues. When mounting the hoist, verify the frame-
mounted receiver hitch can withstand the forces the capstan
will apply and will not be adversely impacted by the mounting
and operation of the capstan hoist. This may include having a
documented rigging plan for lift.
ALWAYS inspect winch, rope, and any rigging equipment
before use. Frayed, kinked, or damaged rope must be replaced
immediately. Protect parts from damage.
Always use a minimum class 3 receiver hitch.
ALWAYS use with mounts, components, and accessories
authorized by Harken Industrial.
NEVER alter the strut or other components of the winch system.
ALWAYS USE WITH SUPPLIED BLOCK, it is integral to the
geometry of the system.
