1 - Conditions of operation
All users must carefully read the operating instructions before using the winch for the first time. These
instructions should allow users to familiarise themselves with the winch and use it to the best of their
abilities. The operating instructions contain important information on how to use the winch safely and
correctly. Acting in accordance with these instructions will avoid dangers, reduce repair costs, reduce
downtime and increase the reliability and lifespan of the winch. The instruction manual must always be
available on sites where the winch is used. In addition to the operating instructions and the regulations
regarding accident prevention, users must take into account the rules in force concerning occupational
and professional safety in each country.
This equipment falls under European regulations, in particular Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
The PALANBOX winches have been designed to perform lifting operations within the limit of the
determined load capacity. Under no circumstances should they be used to hold a load under tension,
especially if this load is likely to increase as this could cause the cable or winch to break (barges, circus
tents, etc.)
The capacity indicated on the winch corresponds to the maximum usage capacity (M.U.C.); which
must not be exceeded under any circumstances.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY THE WINCH BE USED TO LIFT PERSONNEL.
Do not begin to manoeuvre the load until you have properly secured it and made sure that all
personnel have left the danger zone.
Before each use, the operator must verify that the equipment, its cable, its hook, its marking and its
docking are in good condition.
Operators must ensure that the load is properly hooked in a way that the winch, the cable and the
load do not endanger themselves or others.
The winches can be handled in ambient temperatures ranging between -10°C and +40°C. Please
