Intended Use

This product is intended to be used for the lifting of 
goods, the lifting of personnel, rope access or for 
providing a safety anchor for the prevention of falls. 

It is expected that all users of this product have the 
necessary medical and physical capabilities, are fully 
trained and competent in its safe assembly and use. 

Inspection Prior to Initial Operation

This product must be inspected prior to initial 

operation by a competent person to ensure that the 

structure is safe and that it has not been damaged 

by incorrect assembly, transport or storage. 

Inspection Before Starting Work

Before starting work, the assembly of the product 
and all load-bearing components should be 
checked for visual defects. This includes checking 
the integrity of all profiles for denting, making sure 
there is no wear or elongation on the bolt holes 
and ensuring that the trolley moves freely along 
the beam.

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
