declines any responsibility for operation
of this unit in any mounting configuration other
than that described in this manual in section 3
“Installation”.
14. The unit must be fastened to an anchoring point
and to a structure having the necessary strength to
support the maxi mum load (WLL) indicated on the
unit. If several units are used, the strength of the
structure must be compatible with the number of
lifting units used and with the maximum utilization
load of the units.
15. The unit is designed for manual operation and must
never be motorized.
16. When using the hoist, constantly make sure that
the load chain is always tensioned by the load,
and in particular, that the load has not snagged on
any obstacle when lowering as this could result in
rupture of the load chain when the load comes free
from the obstacle.
17. When using the hoist, constantly make sure that the
hand chain and the load chain do not rub against
any obstacle.
18. The unit must never be used for lifting people.
19. The unit must never be used for any operations
other than those described in this manual. The unit
must never be used to handle any loads exceeding
the maxi mum utilization load indicated on the unit. It
must never be used in explosive atmospheres.
20. Never park or circulate under a load. Mark out and
prohibit access to the area located under the load.
21. When a load is to be lifted by several units, a
technical study must first be carried out by a
qualified technician before installation of the
units. The installation must then be carried out in
compliance with the study, in particular to ensure
an even distribution of the load under appropriate
conditions. TRACTEL
®
declines any res pon sibility
for the consequences resulting from use of a
TRACTEL ® device in com bination with other lifting
devices of another manufac turer.
22. During lifting operations (up or down), the operator
must continuously observe the load to prevent any
risk of snagging.
23. The load chain forms an integral part of the unit
and must not be either disassembled, repaired
or modified without TRACTEL
®
supervision. Any
disassembly or change to the load chain without
TRACTEL
®
super vision will release TRACTEL
®
of any responsibility resulting from unauthorized
disassembly or modification of the load chain.
24. The lifting hook forms an integral part of the unit
and must not be either disassem bled, repaired
or modified without TRACTEL
®
supervision. Any
disassembly or change to the lifting hook without
TRACTEL ® supervision will release TRACTEL ® of
any responsibility for the consequences resulting
from unauthorized disassembly or modification of
the lifting hook.
25. TRACTEL
®
declines any responsibility for the
consequences of any changes made to the unit or
removal of parts forming part of the unit.
26. Any disassembly or repair operation carried out
on the unit without TRACTEL ® supervision will
release TRACTEL
®
of its responsibility for any of
the resulting consequences, especially as concerns
replacement of genuine parts by parts of another
manufacturer.
27. The hoist is only guaranteed by TRACTEL
®
provided it is equipped with genuine TRACTEL ®
load and hand chains as specified in this manual.
28. The unit must be periodically inspected by a Tractel-
approved repair agent as indicated in this manual.
29. A servicing handbook must be maintained up to
date in accordance with the model given at the end
of this manual.
30. When the unit is not being used, it should be stored
in a location inaccessible to persons not authorized
to use the unit.
31. In the event of definitive removal from service of
the unit, all environment protection regulations
applicable in the country of use must be observed.
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE HOIST
The tralift™ hoist is designed for lifting and lowering a
load suspended on a chain (load chain) by manually
actuating a second chain (hand chain); it is also used to
maintain a load suspended.
The tralift™ hoist is secured to a fixed anchor point or to
a moving trolley. Information about suspension trolleys
can be obtained from TRACTEL
®
on request.
Manufactured from high-quality materials, the tralift™
hoist is a robust tool. The hoist has a compact design,
is light-weight, portable and easy to install.
The tralift™ hoist is supplied equipped with a load
chain (item 1, fig. 1) and a hand chain (item 7, fig. 1)
compatible for a standard lifting height of 3 m.
The load chain is formed by one or several strands (see
§2 technical specifications), equipped with a lifting hook
(item 2, fig. 1) on its load-end side ; on the other end
(slack strand side), the load chain is secured to a low
limit stop (item 4, fig. 1) itself secured to the hoist.
The tralift™ hoist complies with the requirements of
