Safety
5.1
Basic Safety Instructions
Lift tables can be dangerous if used improperly. Therefore, observe the safety instructions listed in this chapter
and the accident prevention regulations of your employer's liability insurance association!
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage and malfunctions resulting from failure to
observe these operating instructions.
5.2
Application Area and Intended Use
With its conformity to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, the ergonomic Mobile Lifter ML-120 is suitable as a
technical aid for industrial and commercial applications.
Improper use may endanger persons and result in a defect or damage to the Mobile Lifter.
The Mobile Lifter is designed for lifting, lowering and moving large format panels up to 120 kg.
The maximum lifting and carrying capacity of 120 kg must not be exceeded in any application.
The Mobile Lifter is only suitable for clamping absorbent panel material.
The Mobile Lifter is primarily intended for use in covered indoor areas.
Work on the Mobile Lifter may only be carried out in adequately lit working areas.
The Mobile Lifter may only be moved if the driver has sufficient visibility of the route or is assisted by a per-
son called in for instruction.
The Mobile Lifter may only be used on horizontal floors for lifting and moving loads.
During a movement with a suspended load, the load must generally be lowered as far as possible (floor-free)
in order to keep a possible fall distance and the associated dangers as low as possible.
A load raised higher than floor-free is only permitted for picking up and setting down the load.
The Mobile Lifter must be positioned freely in the room when lifting and lowering. This means that the posi-
tioning of the Mobile Lifter must not cause any shearing or crushing edges.
During movement with the Mobile Lifter, the travel speed must be adapted to the respective environment.
The Mobile Lifter is not intended for riding or transporting persons.
The Mobile Lifter must not be operated in potentially explosive working areas.
It must always be prevented that vacuum hoses are kinked or pinched.
Any other use is considered improper and prohibited.
Apart from the safety devices already in place, further safety measures may be required on the Mobile Lifter de-
pending on the type of application. Discuss appropriate measures with your Beck Maschinenbau GmbH repre-
sentative or with the Employer's Liability Insurance Association. We also recommend carrying out a risk assessment
in accordance with the Machinery Directives.
5.3

and in section
5, for example

usage and application for private or non-commercial purposes,
using in disregard of the instructions in the operating manual,
using after unauthorised conversions or modifications,
using in insufficiently lit rooms and areas,
using of the Mobile Lifter on uneven floors and slopes,
exceeding the maximum permissible load (see

as well as entering the Mobile Lifter.
In case of improper use of the Mobile Lifter, any warranty, liability and other claims for damages of the operator
against the manufacturer are excluded!
