HYDRAULIC WINDSHIELD SYSTEM HWS
Mechanical handling of loads
Only
statutory
mechanical
lifting
devices,
appropriate for the operation are allowed for use.
The employed crane must be of sufficient capacity
for the handling and assembly of the parts of the
HWS system.
Check the condition of the lifting gear such as slings
or cables before each use and report any defects.
The maximum angle between the slings during lifting
is 60º.
Place lifting accessories and step back to a secure
distance from the load and other materials which
could get affected.
Comply with all instructions given by the team chef
who is specifically trained for this.
Do not cause any sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the moving load.
When conducting difficult or dangerous lifting
operations, or in the case that the crane operator
has no obstruction free visual control of the entire
trajectory of the load, the crane operations are
directed by a banksman who is in constant
communication with the crane operator by means of
a previously agreed sign code.
If necessary, use tag lines to control the load from
distance. Keep hands clear of suspended load if
hands could get caught between the load and
another object. Swinging and/or unforeseen
movements with the load can cause serious
accidents.
6.2.4.
STORAGE
Proper storage of the parts is fundamental to keep
them in good working condition.
Wherever possible, store the material in a place
protected from atmospheric impact to avoid wear.
It is recommended to place parts of the same type
and dimensions in its respective container (boxes,
steel pallets, etc.).
Ensure the stability of any piles, bearing in mind the
following aspects:
-
Load-bearing capacity of the ground
-
Varying ground levels
-
Levelling of the packages
-
Package or container support
-
Package stability
-
State of the strap
-
State and capacity of the containers used
-
Do not stack full containers on top of empty or
half-empty containers
-
External conditions (wind, risk of another
object hitting the pile, etc.)
