5.1.2
Lifting the hoist
Evaluating the weight of the hoist
It is important to know the weight of the hoist before starting to lift it, so that you can select an appropriate lifting
device for the task, and prevent overloading. The weight of the hoist can often be found from the packing list, the
technical documents or the hoist data plate.
Auxiliary lifting device
The hoist is usually lifted using an auxiliary hoist and some kind of a lifting device. The most common lifting devices
are chains and lifting belts. Every lifting device must be clearly marked with the maximum capacity and must be
approved by authorities.
WARNING
Never use a lifting device which does not clearly display the maximum
capacity or is not approved by authorities. The load falls down if the lifting
device fails.
Always follow instructions provided by the lifting device manufacturer and the
local authorities. As the manufacturer of the hoist we are not responsible for
lifting accessories provided by other manufacturers.
