7. Final Installation Procedure
After finished installation a load test (according to
ISO 10535:2006) must be performed. Maximum
Safe Working Load shall be applied on all
mounted attachments. Perform at least six lifts
(lift height approx. 15 cm/6 inches) SWL at min. 6
randomly selected points along the rail.
7.1 Load test: Straight Rail System
Lift the load approx. 15cm to apply the maximum
load. Travel the applied load along the rail from
one end stop to the other end stop, with a 10
second pause under each attachment point. Travel
as the dashed line shows in picture.
7.2 Load test: Traverse Rail System
Apply the maximum load for the installed
overhead rail system. Place the carriage with the
applied load at the end stop of the secondary rail
(1). Move the secondary rail, with a pause under
each attachment point, from one end stop to the
other end stop of the first primary rail. Continue
by moving the applied load diagonally through
the centre of the system over to the other side, as
the dashed line shows. Now continue by moving
the secondary rail with the applied load, from (2),
with a pause under each attachment point, from
one end stop to the other end stop of the second
primary rail.
