Applications with lifting gear
Definition:
Applications with lifting gear are understood as procedures involving raising, transporting
and lowering loads with the help of slings and load-securing devices (ropes, chains, for
example). In doing so, the help of persons is necessary for securing and detaching the
load. This applies, for example, to raising and lowering pipes, shaft rings or containers!
• The machine may be used for lifting gear applications only if a specific certifi-
cation has been made out by the appropriate national authorities and if the
prescribed safety devices are in place and functional.
These are for example:
• Safe possibilities of slinging and securing lifting gear (load hook)
• Load diagram
• Protective devices!
• The load must be secured so as to prevent it from falling or slipping!
• Persons guiding the load or securing it must stay in visual contact with the machine
operator!
• The machine operator must guide the load the nearest possible to the ground and
avoid any oscillating or swinging movements!
• The machine may be moved with a raised load only if the path of the machine is as
level as possible!
• The persons attaching or securing loads may approach the boom from the side only,
and only after the machine operator has given his permission. The machine operator
may give his permission only after the machine is at a standstill and the work
attachment no longer moves!
• Do not use any lifting gear (ropes, chains) which is damaged or not of sufficient size.
Always wear protective gloves when working with lifting gear!
