4. Assembly information before commisioning
A. Before commissioning
– Chain hoist made movable by means of a trolley or which were already delivered
with a trolley are subject to the Germany industrial safety regulation (BetrSichV)
and the DGUV regulations for cranes. In Germany, they must be inspected by
a qualified expert and tested for a lead bearing capacity over 1t by a registered
inspector, before initial commissioning can occur! Observe the national regulations
applicable on your country
– Never operate the LHT trolley-hoist at temperatures below -20 degress Celsius or
above +60 degrees Celsius
B. Installation and ispection before each use
– The hand chain and load chain must hang freely without any bends or twists
– Pull the hand chain all the way through once without a attached load to the hoist
– Inspecting the load brake function: Raise the load slightly (min.
10% WLL) and hold it in place. If the load keeps in position,
raise it further. During lowering, the load must not slip when
operating the hand chain is stopped. The attached load must
not be less than 10% of the rated trolley-hoist capacity.
– If brake function is proper, operation can be initiated
– Important for equipment with multiple chain falls: The hook
block must not be passed through the chain loop. This can be
recognised from a twisted load chain. If the welds on the chain
links are not in line, the hook block must be folded back through the chain loop
– The last link of the load chain must be secured to the housing to prevent the chain
from passing through for safety reasons.
5. Installation
– When the minimum load (10% WLL) is attached, the brake engages automatically
– The hoist is only suitable for lifting and lowering purposes in vertical direction.
– To move the load, pull the hand chain in lifting or lowering direction
