The
ANL-2
is an optional accessory of four eyebolts and four carabiners for rigging.
To hang the units, the Allen-head screws must be removed and replaced by M10 eyebolts on one side of
the enclosure. Each rigging point has 200 kg (440 lb) working load limit.
Then choose the slings or chains of required load resistance and length, bearing in mind that the length
difference between the front and back slings or chains will determine the vertical orientation. Alternatively, the
back bottom eyebolt points can be used to provide vertical orientation.
The
ANL-2
set is an optional set of four eyebolts and four carabiners. (Dimensions are in milimetres).
Each
ANL-2
eyebolt has a rated working load of 200 kg. (440 lb). Each
ANL-2
carabiner has a working
load of 330 kg (726 lb). If using other hardware, make sure it is rated to handle the required load.
When using eyebolts it is important to bear in mind that the rated working load is only true for a load
applied in the plane of the eye, and is significantly reduced for other angles. The drawing illustrates the
concept.
The table shows the variation of the working load as a function of the load angle. In the case of the
ANL-2
eyebolt, this means that the 200 kg working load becomes 60 kg at 45 degrees. Do not use eyebolt flying if
the load angle is higher than 45 degrees.
Note: As always, when we handle heavy loads, we should wear appropriate clothing and
protective elements such as gloves, safety shoes, etc.

PL-221S
PL-UX218S / PL-UX218RS
PL-221S
Even though it features integrated rigging points for threaded eyebolts (
ANL-2
), the most practical use of
UX-221A
is stacked. Using the
PL-221S
dolly platform (WLL = 450 kg), we can stack and transport up to
three
UX-221A
units; and care should be taken to avoid roll over when moving them, preventing injuries.
As an example, the
PL-221S
platform, with one
UX-221A
on top, can be seen in the figure below.
Note: when handling heavy loads, always wear appropriate clothing and protective elements
such as gloves, safety shoes, etc.
As for
UX-221A
, a dolly platform is available for transporting and stacking
UX-218A
units (
PL-UX218S
, with
WLL = 300 kg), and its rigging version,
UX-218A-R
(PL-
UX218RS
, with WLL = 400 kg). Using these dolly
platforms we can stack and transport up to three units; and care should be taken to avoid roll over when
moving them.
As an example, these platforms can be seen in the next figures.
Note: when handling heavy loads, always wear appropriate clothing and protective elements
such as gloves, safety shoes, etc.
