3 General information
This manual describes an PLANETA hoist trolley unit for heavy duty use in an industrial environment.
3.1 Technical specification
If deviating specification are applicable, then the technical specifications can be found in Appendix
II “Technical specifications”, and may contain one or more of the following items:
‐
Scope of supply, data & specifications
‐
General hoist and trolley data
‐
Mechanical specifications & surface treatment
3.2 Factory warranty
The warranty period of the product, as specified in the technical specification, becomes invalid if:
‐
The instructions in this manual for installation, operation, inspection,
maintenance, storage, transport etc. are not followed.
‐
Repairs and eliminations of faults are executed without been consulted and
approved by PLANETA.
‐
Repairs and eliminations of faults are executed by incompetent persons.
‐
The product is modified or non-original spare parts are used.
‐
The product is improperly used.
If any question arises concerning the warranty, contact your local authorised reseller or your
contact person at PLANETA.
3.3 Safe Working Load
The design is based on the safe working load specified in the technical specification of the product.
It is the operator’s responsibility not to go beyond what is permitted. The maximum permitted
working load, indicated in kilograms or metric tons, can be found on the nameplate.
Standard headroom and low headroom hoist trolley units can optionally be executed with an
overload protection device. Ultra low headroom hoist trolley units always have the overload
protection device built in. If equipped with an overload protection device, the slipping clutch will be
activated between 125% and 150% of the safe working load. When activated, the hoist can only be
lowered to reduce the load below the safe working load.
3.4 Areas of application
Model K hoist trolley units are designed to withstand ambient temperatures of -20°C to +40°C
and humidity up to 100%, but not submerged in water.
Model N hoist trolley units are designed to withstand ambient temperatures of -15°C to +40°C
and humidity up to 90%.
If the hoist trolley unit is continuously used in a high humidity environment with temperature
fluctuations, there is a chance that condensation occurs which may reduce the lifespan of the hoist
trolley unit. The maximum designed longitudinal slope of the traveling surface is 0.17
°
. When the
hoist trolley unit is frequently used in an outside environment, it shall be protected against the
effect of weather for example: rain, hail, snow, direct sunlight, dust, etc.
Danger! Hoist trolley units may not be used for transport of persons.
Danger! Hoist trolley units are not designed for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
Hoist trolley units can optionally be executed for use in other circumstances. For example:
‐
Dusty, greasy and/or high humidity environments.
‐
Offshore and/or corrosive environments.
‐
Potentially explosive atmospheres (Ex areas).
‐
Food industries.
‐
Use in extreme high or low temperatures.
