by incorrect assembly, transport or storage.
Inspection Before Starting Work
Before starting work, the assembly of the product

Correct Operation
Maximum Capacity
Goods Lifting:
This product is designed to lift
and lower loads up to its rated capacity. Do not
exceed the working load limit indicated on the
product.
Personnel Lifting:
When lifting people, the
overall load limit is reduced by half to provide an
increased safety factor. The maximum capacity
permitted by the personnel winch/accessory used
in conjunction with this product also needs to be
considered.
Temperature Range
This product can be operated in ambient dry
temperatures between –20°C and +55°C (-4°F
and 131°F). Consult your supplier in case of
extreme working conditions. If used in sub-
zero and wet conditions, fall arrest appliances
characteristics may change.
Notes for Correct Operation
Assemble only as instructed (ensure all
bolts are present and fitted correctly as per
instructions)
Suitable, appropriately rated winches and
connection plates must be used for all
applications
The product should be set up at a safe
distance from the hazard or lift area, before
moving the structure into place
The supporting ground/structure where
the gantry is to be used must be stable
and capable of withstanding the maximum
expected load applied during use
We recommend that gloves are worn when
using the equipment
The beam must be horizontal prior to any lift
and A-Frames vertical and parallel to each
other
Do not use the product if the trolley does
not run freely along the beam. (For certain
applications, such as when the system is being
used as a restraint point, the trolleys can be
locked into position)
Attach the hoist to the lifting point on the
trolley only, making sure it is attached in a way
that does not expose the user to danger by
the hoist, chain or load
