Handling with lifting system
(pallets)
Safety standards
During the lifting and handling operations of a pallet with
PETMATE,
no person who is not involved in ongoing
operations should halt or transit in the working area.
All personnel involved in the handling should wear protective clothing according to standards, in particular gloves,
helmet and safety shoes.
During lifting operations people must remain at a safe distance and in no case must be under the unit raised.
To
correct any defect of the sling
or balance, or for any operation that should require the approach of a person, lay on
the ground the load and repeat correctly the sling and lifting.
These people have to operate in the area easily visible to the lifting operator and must only have the function to signal
to the operator, remaining distant from handling area, and in no case must intervene manually on any object suspended
to guide or orient it in any way.
Before starting operations liberate the area from all foreign objects and clean the floor thoroughly so that water, grease
or other do not make it slippery or insecure.
Check out the measurements of the lifting height that will be used and make sure to have enough movements space
necessary, considering the length of the ropes, the height of the unit to be lifted and the position in which it needs to
be placed.
Check in particular that there are no electrical lines in voltage that may interfere with handling.
