ESSENTIALS

DO:

Inspect your hoist on a regular basis, keep a written record of all inspection and maintenance done to the hoist.

Certify your hoist at least once a year at a Prolyft Service Point to enhance the life expectancy of your hoist and retain the lifetime warranty.

Store your hoist in a proper way and protect if from environmental influences.

A “Standard” hoist can be used up to its max. WLL in case a proper risk assessment has been carried out and allows so. In all other cases, additional measures need to be taken. A minimum requirement in such case is that the WLL should be reduced with 50%.

Use limit switches in case of limited travel height or a blocked travel path.

Use designated and approved lifting chain only.

Reconnect the dead-end of the chain to the hoist to reduce the drop-height of the chain in case of an involuntary chain drop.

Protect your hoist against water and dust.

Grid or loads on multiple hoists should only be lifted with hoists with similar loading capacity and lifting speed.

Check the chain visually before each lifting job.

DO NOT:

Run the chain in or out the hoist when the hoist rests on its sides, this will damage the brake.

Use the end-stop on the chain (and therefore the slip clutch) as travel limit.

Use damaged lifting chains.

Use hoist outdoor without proper protection for environmental influences, such as rain or dust.

Lift loads under an angle, loads may exceed the maximum WLL due to a shift in the point of gravity, this can have a big impact on the flown truss structure and the roof construction.

Use motor bridles, since this will cause the loading per hoist to fluctuate in an unforeseen way.

Move loads above people without appropriate measures taken.

Modify the hoist by any other than an official Prolyft Service point, product liability will move from the manufacturer to the person or company responsible for the modification.

Plug & run hoists

Apart from the regular 3 phase hoists, Prolyte also offers a series of unique single phase, 220V hoists in the range from 113-500 kg lifting capacity and lifting speeds from 1.5/4 and 8 m/min.
