This manual is valid for Tractelift™ Type II with
remote only.
3.2 Principle
The Tractelift™ Type II alleviates persons
climbing a vertical ladder (Fig. 1) with adjustable
pulling force approximately 60% of the person’s
weight entered on the remote control. Two user
remotes are available, Blue rubber casing for
users between 102 and 160lbs. (51 - 80 kg). and
a Red rubber casing for users between 160 and
250lbs. (80 - 125 kg)
.
The drive comes with a remote control that is
directly connected with a Carabineer and a belt
grab to the pulley belt. The other end of this
remote is attached to the climbers approved
safety harness with another Carabineer.
Use of the system is described in Section 5
page 11.
For Safety the Climber must also be
attached to an independent fall protection
system supplied on the ladder. After being
attached to both then only the climber can
proceed with the assisted climb.
When climbing the internal ladder you must
maintain 3-points of contact, two hands and a
foot, or two feet and a hand on the ladder at all
times. You must keep your body near the middle
of the rung and always face the ladder while
climbing (see diagram). OSHA 3246-09N-05.
Using improper and unsafe climbing techniques
such as sliding or Peter Panning the ladder
during decent can have a negative effect on the
motor that will void the warranty of the system.
