Use of load bearing and fastening
equipment
…………………………………
WARNING!
Risk of injury when using lifting gear!
Improper use of load bearing equipment (ropes,
chains, belts) and fastening equipment (load hooks,
bottom hook block) can cause hazardous situations.
– Before using lifting gear and load bearing
equipment, perform a visual inspection to
check for damage, deformation, and wear. Do
not use dam- aged parts.
– Use lifting gear and load bearing equipment
with a sufficient load bearing capacity for the
load. Use suitable ropes, chains, and lifting
belts in accordance with the dimensions and
weight of the load being lifted. Do not
overload fastening equipment.
– Use edge protectors or a crossbeam when
lifting sharp-edged loads.
– Position the load hook above the centre of
gravity of the load. During the lifting
procedure, observe whether the fastening
equipment takes hold in the designated
positions, whether the transportation position
remains unchanged when lifting, and make
sure the load does not become caught. In
case of any variation, immediately stop the
lifting process.
– Protect fastening equipment from sharp-
edged parts of loads.
– During the lifting procedure, ensure nobody is
in the falling and swinging range of the load.
– The angle of inclination must never exceed
60°.
– When guiding fastening equipment, always
take hold of it above the load.
– Wear personal safety clothing and equipment
at all times for all work.
