4 Safety regulations
If you use the automotive lift, the German following regulations are to be considered:
BGG945: Examine of automotive-lifts; BGR500 Using automotive-lifts; (VBG14).
Especially the following regulations are very important:
• The laden weight of the lifted vehicle must not exceed 4000 kg for the automotive lift.
• The automotive lift must be in its lowest position (fully collapsed), before the vehicle can
be driving on to the lift. Only then can the vehicle be lifted.
• While working with the lift the operating instructions must be followed.
• Vehicles with low clearance or vehicles that are specially equipped should be pre tested
to ensure that they clear the lift ramp to avoid damage.
• Only trained personnel over the age of 18 years old are to operate this lift.
• No one is to stand within the working area (danger area) during lifting and lowering
• No one is to be raised or lowed either directly or in a vehicle by the automotive lift.
• No one is to climb onto the automotive lift or onto an already raised vehicle.
• The automotive column lift must be checked by an expert after changes in the
construction have been made.
• The main switch must be switched off and locked before work on the vehicle can commence. This
is a safety precaution to ensure that the lift does not move during work.
• The main switch must be switched off and locked before any maintenance or repair work
on the automotive lift itself can be carried out.
• During lifting or lowering the operator must observe the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle
and the lift are functioning correctly.
• Installation of the standard-mobile column lift in hazardous or dangerous locations such
as washing bays is dangerous and is not allowed.
• Check the centre of gravity of the vehicle if heavy parts (e.g. the motor) are removed.
• If heavy parts must be removed (motor) the centre of gravity will change. Secure the
vehicle before removing parts to avoid the possibility of the vehicle becoming insecure.
