6. Installation methods
The rail system can only be
installed by certified personnel in
accordance with applicable
installation instructions.
Etac is only responsible for the
system if the rail system with trol-
ley and/or lifting motor has been
supplied by Etac and is installed by
authorised staff.
The lifter’s SWL may NEVER exceed
the SWL of the rail system.
There may never be installed more
than one lifting motor per rail
system.
The SWL of the rail system must be
clearly marked on the rail.
All rail systems must be provided
with end stops and end caps to
prevent the trolleys from running
off the system.
Etac recommends that annual
inspections of the system be carried
out according to “Check points for
periodic inspection”.
Please contact Your Service Partner
or Molift by Etac Customer Support
in case of defects to the rail system.
