HOISTING AND LIFTING
1. Heavy products are here defined as products weighing over 25 kilograms, the
accepted limit for a weight that can be comfortably lifted and shifted by hand. If you
(attempt to) lift or shift loads heavier than 25 kilograms without proper lifting or
hoisting machinery, you do so at your own risk and you will be responsible for all
consequences. This also applies to products under 25 kilograms when shifted by
any means (by hand or using lifting or hoisting machinery).
2. Heavy products are always delivered in a packing crate or with a pallet or base that
can be moved using e.g. a fork lift, chain hoist, etc.. of sufficient capacity. This is for
good reasons. After arrival the new owner is expected to use proper appliances and
machines of sufficient capacity to move the product. This is not just to prevent
damage to the product, but also for reasons of personal safety.
3. In case of damage, injury or death resulting from moving and/or lifting heavy
products as defined under 1 without use of proper lifting or hoisting appliances, or
use of such devices without sufficient capacity, as defined under 2, the client will be
entirely responsible.
4. In case of hoisting heavy products using aids (fork lift, chain hoist, etc.) the rules as
given below MUST BE COMPLIED WITH. If not, the client/ owner/ user will be
entirely responsible.
SAFETY RULES FOR LIFTING AND MOVING HEAVY LOADS
1. NEVER stand under or near a load that is suspended or being lifted. Keep spectators
at a safe distance. In particular keep children away!
2. When lifting a load, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines concerning the points
where hooks, straps, bars, chains etc. are to be attached, and also concerning the
protection of the product from damage (e.g. to the paint) resulting from the use of
hoisting and lifting devices. If you don’t comply, you will be responsible for all
consequences.
