Operating Manual pewag AOR lifting point – Grade 8
January 2016
1. AOR Lashing point
AOR Lashing points serve to secure components/loads by
means of hoisting means, for instance chain suspensions, to
enable handling activities to be performed safely. The present
operating manual includes information on how AOR Lashing
points types are safely used.
2. Intended Use
The AOR Lashing points are intended for attachment to steel,
aluminium or non-ferrous metal structures and components.
They serve to connect the structures and components to
hoisting means used for handling. The AOR Lashing points
must exclusively be used
• as prescribed by their permissible load carrying capacity
• within the temperature limits prescribed
• with appropriate screws/bolts (refer to Chapter 5)
• firmly attached to the components to be lifted
• occasionally turning or rotating loads
• Continuous or long term turning or rotating is not allowed
3. Safety Notes
• Operators must read and fully understand this operating
manual
• Mounting and removal must exclusively be carried out by
authorized persons
• Additionally the specific provisions issued locally in the
country where the items are used must also be observed
• Make sure to use AOR Lashing points free from defects
• Never use worn-out, bent or damaged AOR Lashing points
• Never make structural changes to AOR Lashing points
(e.g. by welding, bending).
• Never stay under lifted loads
• Never subject AOR Lashing points to loads higher than
their specified carrying capacity
• Do not use force when mounting/positioning the AOR
Lashing points
• Do not start lifting before you have made sure that the load
has been correctly attached
• Make sure nobody stands or walks under or near
suspended loads
Operating Manual
profilift
• Never move a suspended load over persons
• When lifting loads make sure your hands or other body
parts do not come into contact with the suspension gear
• Never cause a suspended load to swing
• Make sure AOR Lashing points are mounted above the
load’s centre of gravity
• The mounting location of the points on the component
must be suited for the forces admitted via the lashing point
to be safely absorbed without the component suffering
deformation
4. Product Description
AOR Lashing points are marked with nominal carrying
capacity (WLL) in tons or nominal size of the chain. This
indication only applies to the lifting point itself and not to the
overall load or suspension gear used.
The AOR Lashing points are in conformity with Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EG and marked with the CE symbol.
The AOR Lashing points have been type tested.
AOR Lashing points have a safety factor of min. 4 relating to
their load capacity.
