Load holder
INTENDED USE
The load holder LH may only be used
to manually lift, position or lower loads
from or to a higher or lower level. A suit-
able rope clamp can be used to facilitate
a better grip on the rope.
The load holder must be securely
attached to an adequately strong
anchor point. A hoist can be integrated
to move heavier loads.
Maximum useful load depending on the
ratio:
• : without a hoist  kg
• : hoist  kg
• : hoist  kg
• : hoist  kg
• : hoist  kg
Minimum weight of the load: depending
on the ratio, see diagrams from page
Application temperature: - °C to
+°C
All other uses are deemed improper. The
company BORNACK will not be liable for
any ensuing damages. The user bears
the sole risk.
FUNCTION
Loads can be positioned in a controlled
manner with the LH. If the user lets
go of the pull rope, the auto-stop func-
tion blocks and prevents the load from
falling.

• Overloading can cause the LH to
fail and the transported load to fall!
Therefore, observe the minimum
useful weight of the LH.
• If the minimum weight is undercut,
this will restrict the lowering and posi-
tioning function. Therefore, observe
the minimum weight of the load.
• It is not allowed to use the LH to
secure persons.
• Incorrectly attached loads may fall and
endanger the operator. Therefore, use
suitable connectors to attach the load
to the support rope or the pulleys.
• Positioning the anchor point outside
the designated location can cause the
load to swing, and therefore endanger
the operator and other persons in the
vicinity. Therefore, always attach the
anchor point directly above the desig-
nated place.
• When selecting the anchor point,
ensure that it can bear a load of at
least  kg.
• Icy or heavily soiled ropes can hinder
the blocking mechanism and cause
the load to fall. Therefore, look after
and clean the ropes; if necessary.
• When using the LH, there is a risk
of tripping on the unwound pull rope.
• Using this device without gloves can
lead to injuries of the hands. Therefore,
wear safety gloves when using this
device.
• Long, loose hair can become caught in
the moving part of the load holder.
Therefore, wear appropriate hair
protection and a helmet, or attach the
load securing device out of reach.
• The transported load can fall, if unsuit-
able lanyards are used (rope diameter,
rope expansion etc.). Only use original
ropes from BORNACK. Wear a safety
helmet.
• Rule out the risk of a fall load caused
by slack rope.
• Do not stand under suspended loads.
Operators must wear a safety helmet
and safety shoes.
• When working close to live parts,
select a suitable anchor point outside
the electrical hazard zone for the load
holder.
• The rope may jump out of the pulley, if
the pulley is not mounted or secured
correctly.
• When using pulleys, both plates of the
pulley always need to be secured by a
connector acc. to EN .
• When using double pulleys, the rope
needs to be inserted through both
rollers of the double pulley.
• A rope clamp must be used when
using the  mm kernmantle rope.
• In case of strong winds, conduct a
hazard assessment to check whether it
can be used outdoors.
POSSIBLE MISUSES

EN
• The load may only be hooked into the
support rope or the pulleys to which
the support rope is connected.
• The lock function of the LH cannot
be guaranteed, if it is used over edges.
Therefore do not use the LH over
edges. When using the LH, ensure
that the support rope has not been
retracted too far because this may
cause the system to block and the load
can no longer be lowered.
• Any misuses not listed here can be
identified reliably by means of a sepa-
rate risk analysis by the user, and
appropriate safety measures can be
taken.
POSSIBLE MISUSES

 | 
Always check every time be-
fore use!
• The LH may no longer be used if
even very minor faults are discovered
when inspected.
• Faulty LHs may only be tested or
repaired by BORNACK or in a workshop
authorised in writing by BORNACK.
• Regular inspections are essential
because the safety of the user depends
on the eciency and durability of the
machine.
• The user must have completely read
and understood the instructions
before use.
VISUAL INSPECTION
• Check that the LH, in particular
rope, rope end connections, connector
and possible rolls of rope) is complete
and in a flawless condition.
• LH without mechanical or chem-
ical damage.
• No corrosion of metal parts.
• All rivets and screw connections are
complete and tightened.
• The last inspection by an expert was
carried out within the past  months.
• The pins on the roller of the LH are
in a flawless condition, are tight and
complete in number.
FUNCTION TEST
• Moving components of the basic unit
runs smoothly.
• The snapper function of the connec-
tor(s) run smoothly. The snapper closes
and locks automatically.
• Arresting function responds to jerking
on the support rope and blocks the
rope.
• The device unlocks again when the
pull rope is pulled.
INFORMATION BEFORE USE

EN
PREPARATION
Before using the LH, calculate how
long the rope needs to be to reach the
required lifting height. The required rope
length is calculated as follows:
Rope length
= Lifting height + (ratio x lifting height)
In case of ratios of : (LH without a
hoist) e.g. at least  m + ( x  m) =
m rope is required for a lifting height
of  m.
In case of ratios of : (LH with a :
hoist) e.g. at least  m + ( x  m) =
m rope is required for a lifting height
of  m.
ATTENTION:
If possible, select an anchor point that is
directly above the load. The anchor point
must be able to bear at least  kg.
CAUTION: RISK TO LIFE!
Select a work position for the operator
that ensures a clear line of vision to both
the load holder and the load. It is prohib-
ited to stand under suspended loads!

APPLICATION OPTIONS
The LH is designed for a manual
tensile force of up to  kg. As the load is
pulled with the LH manually using
physical force/body weight, the load
may not be too heavy. Otherwise, the
load cannot be lifted or lowered in a
controlled manner. Attach a hoist for
heavier loads (see page ).
C One/two rope clamp(s) (ascender
right/left) can be used for a better grip
on the  mm rope and to facilitate use
of the LH. To do this, open the
clamping cam and insert the rope.
Observe the User Manual of the
rope clamp.
ATTENTION:
Wear safety gloves when using the
LH.
ATTENTION:
The rope must be free of knots and
kinks.

Lifting
D Pull the pull rope until the load is lifted
from the surface. Lift the load to the
required parking position.
Positioning
E Pull the load to the required position.
The auto-stop function of the LH
is activated by slowly releasing the
pull rope. The load can be parked in
this way.
Lowering
F The auto-stop function of the LH
is unlocked by pulling the pull rope.
The load can now be lowered in a
controlled manner. The lowering
process is blocked by the auto-stop
function, if the lowering speed is too
high.
