Intended use
1.5
The lifting device is used to lift, transport and vertically rotate flat items, workpieces and plates made
of a range of materials at low heights (<1.8m). The suction surfaces of the item to be lifted must be
suction-tight, i.e. when the vacuum generator is switched off, the item being gripped must be held for a
further five minutes. This may need to be ensured by performing tests. The loads to be lifted must be
rigid to ensure they are not destroyed during lifting.
The permissible upper load limits are defined in section 3 (Technical Data) and must not be exceeded.
For details of the maximum permissible load, also refer to the type plate of the respective lifting device!
The lifting device must not be converted or modified independently. It should only be operated in the
original condition as delivered.
Using the lifting device for products that are not named in the order confirmation will be considered
improper or unintended use; if products that are not specified in more detail are used, these must have
the same physical properties as the products named in the order confirmation.
