Terminology
The following terms and definitions may have been used in this manual:
ANSI
American National Standards Institute
ISO
International Organization for Standardization
Authorized personnel
Persons who are authorized by the owner and who have the necessary training to carry out an
operation or service actions.
Experienced service person authorized by
the manufacturer
A person with service experience who is properly trained to perform the service actions.
CE marking
The CE marking indicates that the product complies with the appropriate CE regulations.
Check
A visual and functional assessment (not a test) of the product without dismantling.
Condition monitoring
An analysis of collected data to provide information for the safe use of the crane.
Condition monitoring unit (CID)
A device that monitors, measures, calculates, and controls the performance, safety, and
condition of the hoist.
Emergency brake
A brake that can be applied by the operator, or automatically upon loss of power.
Electric panel
Power is controlled to the motors and components through the electric panel.
General overhaul (GO)
All actions that are required after a special assessment, according to the assessment report
recommendations, before any further use of the crane.
Parking brake (storm lock)
A brake which can be applied either automatically or manually and which prevents the
horizontal movement of a trolley or a bridge. Used when movements must be prevented in
windy conditions.
Main brake
A brake that stops motion and prevents movements.
Second brake (Holding brake)
A brake that supports the load if the main brake fails.
Operator
A person operating the product for the purpose of handling or moving loads.
Inching
Making very small movements by repeatedly and momentarily pressing the direction control.
Bridge
The bridge (main girder) moves along the runway.
Main girder
The main girder (bridge) is connected to the bridge end carriages.
Main isolation switch
The main isolation switch is the power switch which the operator should normally use to turn
off the power.
Hoist
A drive mechanism for lifting and lowering the load.
Inspection (Visual)
Looking for defects and checking the operation of the controls, limiting and indicating devices
without loading the product. This is much more than a check, but does not normally require
any part of the product to be dismantled other than the removal or opening of covers or
housings.
Measurement
The inspection that is done by measuring with a tool designed for the purpose.
Operational test or testing
The inspection that is done via checking the hoist operations.
Power supply
The power is supplied to the components via the power (mains) supply.
Controller
The pendant or other type of controller is used by the operator to give commands to the
product.
Qualified personnel
A staff with necessary qualifications based on the theoretical and practical knowledge of hoists
and cranes. The persons must be in a position to assess the safety of the installation in
conjunction with the application. The persons with the authority to undertake certain
maintenance work on the products of manufacturers including manufacturer service engineers
and trained fitters with the corresponding certification.
Maximum capacity
The load that the product is designed to lift with a given operating condition (for example, a
configuration or the position of the load).
Runway
The product rides on the runway or under the runway.
Trolley (hoisting unit)
The trolley (hoisting unit) moves along the main girder.
Sling
A sling is used to attach the hook to the load when the load cannot be lifted directly by the
hook.
Safe Working Period (SWP)
The calculated hoisting machinery lifetime that is based either on the running hours or on the
number of working cycles.
2.8
Standards and Directives
This state of the art product has been designed and manufactured to conform to European and international
standards and directives. The product also fulfills the requirements of the following standards (if applicable): CSA,
UL, RoHS, OSHA, CCC.
