GETTING STARTED - INSTALLATION & TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
1.4 HOIST ASSEMBLY
Normally our hoist or hoist and trolleys will arrive complete ready to be fitted into position, but sometimes for transportation it may be
necessary to disconnect the chain collector, trolley or the pendant control system.
▪ Chain collectors will be supplied with the necessary bolts and fittings to assemble on site along with any safety slings as shown in
section 1.8 and chain collectors in section 7.4.
▪ Due to the size of some trolleys it is easier to ship split from the hoist, the trolley GA drawings show the load bar and top eye details
for refitting and the control and supply air lines are numbered or colour coded for re-connection.
▪ When lifting into position either use the lifting points on the hoist or hoist and trolley, if the hoist does not have lifting points fitted
securely fit slings to the body of the hoist or use the top hook if possible. Do not lift by the controls, valves, or the air set.
MOUNTING THE HOIST
The air hoist is designed as a LIFTING MACHINE and as such is designed exclusively for the lifting loads vertically. Non vertical lifting will
result in premature wear of the chain and chain guide and may result in damage to the limit arms or a failure of the limit arms to operate.
The trolley is designed to move loads along a runway beam or swing jib. It must be correctly adjusted for the flange width and thickness.
▪ Site the hoist immediately above the load which is to be lifted.
▪ Ensure that the point from which the hoist is suspended has been designed and tested to at least the same safe working load as
the hoist itself.
▪ Ensure that the suspension point or shackle fits snugly into the bowl of the hoist top hook and that the safety catch closes to
prevent escape.
▪ Use only certified lifting gear with a SWL in excess of the load to be lifted to connect to the load itself.
▪ Ensure that the lifting gear fits snugly into the bowl of the hoist bottom hook and that the safety catch closes to prevent escape.
▪ Ensure that the control length (pendant or cords) is adequate to allow the operator to stand away from the load, in a safe and
secure position with the cords or pendant at waist height.
TROLLEY ASSEMBLY
▪ Thoroughly examine the equipment prior to installation to ensure that no damage has occurred during transit,.
▪ Check the wheel profile matches the beam.
▪ Never use a damaged trolley.
▪ Match the trolley to the SWL of the beam and the type of hoist to be fitted.
▪ Check the load bar nuts are tight and the link plate in the centre of the load bar.
▪ Trolleys should be cleaned in a dry clean area.
▪ Do not side load the trolley.
TROLLEY CHECKS
The contents of this section are designed for the guidance of personnel using push or geared trolleys.
▪ Ensure that the trolley is set to the correct size for the beam.
▪ Ensure the runway is fitted with adequate end stops.
▪ Ensure the runway load path is clear of obstructions.
▪ Ensure that the trolley tie bars are correctly secured.
