Approved Use
The SWI-TEC Mastlift is a manually operated drum winch for lifting and
lowering persons. It is only for boat leisure approved and not for industrial use.
The hand-operated drum winch must not be used to transport material loads.
The drum winch may be used for the transport of persons only in conjunction
with a second independent, tested and approved fall arresting device (e.g.
guided type fall arrester or retracting lifeline) and must be attached to a
separate, tested anchorage point.
The drum winch must not be used in areas exposed to higher risks such as
danger of explosions or corrosive environment.
1. Description of the SWI-TEC Mastlift
The drum winch may be used for lifting, lowering and positioning of persons.
The drum winch has a Load Line which is wound on a drum. With the use of an
Endless Line the Load Line can be wound onto or off the drum. In this way the
person is lifted or lowered. A pawl/ratchet mechanism ensures that a person is
always securely held in position at all times. The SWI-TEC Mastlift has a Load
Line guide.
