Attachment device must be used exclusively by
competent persons or by qualified persons.
The following information should support users in the
preparation and execution of lifting procedures. They
are by no means exhaustive and do not supersede the
training for riggers. In this regard, it's also referred to
ISO 12480-1, DGUV Information for riggers 209-013,
BetrSV and further applicable regulations (while
respecting the respective market of the country).
NOTICE: Prior to the lifting procedure, make
sure that the load is freely movable and not
anchored or otherwise fastened.
NOTICE: It is important to know the weight
of the load to be lifted. If it is not specified,
information can be taken from the freight
documents, manuals, plans etc. In case no
information is available, the mass must be
estimated by calculation, if possible.
NOTICE: To prevent the load from swinging
dangerously and to keep it in position when
setting it down, it is recommended to use
a holding rope.
CAUTION: When attaching the chain, make
sure that hands and other body parts of
users are kept away from the chain to
prevent injuries.
Lift the load only slightly to check whether
it is securely fastened and remains in the
intended position.
CAUTION: Prepare the place where the load
should be set down. The surface must be
sufficiently capable of carrying loads to
withstand the weight of the load. Make sure
that no cavities or pipelines are damaged. It
is important to have sufficient access and
free space around the area where the load
should be set down. No one is allowed to
stay in the area. It may be necessary to have
timber or similar material at hand to maintain
the stability of the load that has been set
down or to protect the surface or the load.
CAUTION: Set the load down carefully. Do
not jam the chain sling under the load, since
this could damage the chain sling. Before
loosening the chain, check whether the load
is positioned correctly and stably. This is
particularly important when there are multip-
le loose parts in the basket hitch or choker
hitch. After setting down the load, remove
the chain sling by hand. The chain sling
must not be pulled out with the hoist becau-
se it can get caught and the load could fall.
Do not roll the load over the chain sling as
this can damage the chain sling.
8. Protective measures
for the user to take
DANGER: Wear gloves when attaching and during the
lifting procedure. When using the chain sling under
conditions with usage restrictions it is imperative to
observe the specified reduction factors for the working
load limit to ensure sufficient security.
DANGER: Also, safety helmet, safety shoes and safety
goggles are generally required to avoid injuries.
