0.6 Operational parameters
Electric chain hoists of the series TS are hoists of differing load capacities. They can be installed as stationary or mobile units. Electric chain
hoists are manufactured in accordance with the latest technical developments and recognised safety standards, and are tested for safe operation
by the manufacturer.
Electric chain hoists are approved by various international institutes such as BG and others.
Electric chain hoists of the above series may only be used when in an acceptable technical condition, in accordance with their operating
parameters, by trained personnel in a safe and responsible manner.
The operational parameters of the electric chain hoist also encompass compliance with the pre-defined operating, service and maintenance
requirements laid down by the manufacturer.
The operational parameters do not include:
exceeding the defined load capacity
pulling the load diagonally (see figure 0-5)
heaving, pulling or dragging the load
transporting
persons
transporting loads when personnel are underneath
standing under suspended loads (see figure 0-6)
transporting
excessive
loads
pulling on the control cable
failing to observe the load hook constantly
