Rack and pinion hoist
Assembly and Operating Instructions
40 / 100 BL108 GB Edition 03.2018 Rev. 02
5 Installation
The rack and pinion hoist must be installed according to the
assembly and operating manual under supervision by a qualified
person, specifically appointed by the operating company!
Assembly personnel, refer to Chapter 1.6.1
5.1 Safety during installation
• Also observe the safety notes in Chapter 2.
• Before starting work at the place of use, acquaint yourself with the
working environment, e.g. obstacles in both work and traffic areas,
ground load bearing capacity and necessary barriers between the
construction site and public areas.
• Before each time the machine is assembled, check whether all parts
of the lift such as e.g. ladder parts, electrical cables and control
system, are in perfect condition. Do not start the hoist if there is any
damage! – Replace damaged parts immediately.
• Cordon off the machine danger area.
− Ensure that the danger zone at the lower loading point is protected
by a barrier except at the point of access to the load carrying device.
− Identify the danger zone of the rack and pinion hoist.
− No one is permitted to stand beneath the load platform.
• The wind speed during assembly must not exceed 45 km/h
(= wind force 5-6 according to the Beaufort scale).
• Install the equipment on a stable foundation, align it in a precisely
vertical position and anchor it to the building.
− Make sure that the masonry is capable of absorbing the anchoring
forces. A construction expert must check to ensure the house front is
suitable for anchoring forces of this kind. The inspection results will
determine whether plugs/dowels or through bolts must be used.
• At loading positions from 2.0 m height, protection to prevent persons
from falling must be provided (only use original GEDA landing-level
safety doors).
• Observe the load capacity of the hoist.
− If the red control light on the trolley switch box illuminates and an
alarm signal sounds, the load platform is overloaded. -Immediately
reduce the loading weight! In this case, the control is interrupted until
the warning light goes off and the alarm signal is silent.
• During assembly, the protruding ladder sections must only be
moved a max. 4 m over the last anchorage point! (Upper edge of
trolley to rail bracket).
