3.18 Load hook applications
Load hook applications are the hoisting, transporting and lowering of loads with
the aid of a fixing device (rope, chain, etc.), whereby the assistance of personnel
is required to attach and release the load. Such work covers e. g. the lifting and
lowering of pipes, tubbing rings or containers using earth-moving machines.
Earth-moving machines are only to be used for load hook applications if the
prescribed safety devices are present and in full working order. For earth-
moving machines, these are:
• Secure attachment of loading implements
• Carrying capacity
Loads must be attached in such a way that they cannot slip or fall out.
Personnel guiding the machine and attaching loads must always remain in
the machine operator’s field of vision.
Keep loads as close above the ground ass possible and avoid swinging
about.
Move the machine with the suspended load only if the travel ground is almost
level.
If the machine is used for load hook applications, personnel attaching loads
is only to approach the lifting frame from the side and with the machine
operator’s permission. The machine operator is only to give his permission if
the machine is standing still and the work equipment is not in motion.
Do not use fixing devices (ropes, chains, shackles) which are damaged or of
inadequate dimensions.
Always wear protective gloves when working with lifting tackle
