3.10.3 Lifting work
WARNING
Loads not slung correctly!
If the load is not slung correctly, it may come off and fall on the ground.
When lifting multiple loads simultaneously, their equilibrium may be af‐
fected and they may fall on the ground. Risk of accident!
1. Load slung correctly.
2. Always sling only one load.
3. Follow the following points.
As a rule, ropes may not be loaded beyond their maximum permissible load.
When slinging the ropes, an opening angle of 120° may not be exceeded (the opening angle is the
angle between the ropes). The inclination angle is 60° in this case.
At an inclination angle of 60°, the traction force in slinging ropes doubles. In such a case, the ropes
must be dimensioned for the double load.
Check the ropes for wear, breakages and strand breakage. Check the rope lock fastener.
Never use old or shortened load ropes as slinging ropes.
In case of sharp-edged loads, attach suitable pads such as wood to prevent the slinging ropes and
the load from damaging.
End joints of ropes must comply with the intended use.
Wire ropes may not be knotted.
The legal regulations for the area of application must be adhered to.
