General specifications
The motor-driven rope pulling machine HIT-TRAC 16 is designed for pulling, hoisting and lowering loads.
1.1
Drive mechanism
A special HABEGGER steel cable of desired length which is guided over the relevant guide elements by the driving wheel and
then ejected in an unloaded state is used as the drive mechanism.
1.2
Housing cover
The removable cover on the driving wheel prevents the entry of foreign objects and protects against accidents resulting from
improper access. There is also an anti-derailment device for the traction rope integrated into the housing cover.
-
Close and secure the housing cover over the driving system before carrying out any work.
1.3
Rope
The machine is equipped for rope diameters of 11.2 mm in the factory.
This rope is suitable for all hoisting, pulling and lowering work.
-
Only suitable, original HABEGGER ropes should be used.
1.4
Operation
The machine is operated by a petrol engine using a friction clutch. If the machine is overloaded, the coupling slips through
and the load cannot be hoisted or pulled.
1.5
Braking
The petrol motor does not allow braking. The load is stopped using a brake which is built into the machine which needs to be
released by hand for lowering.
-
During operation, ensure that the machine is not standing directly in water (or snow).
Following contact with water, you should have your HIT-TRAC checked by Habegger so that the brakes can be dried and
greased. If the brakes are wet, the load can either not be lowered or can only be lowered jerkily. The driving plate’s cams will
probably break off (predetermined breaking point).
