5.52.187.00.01.09
4.3 Functions
The load is lifted, lowered or tensioned by operating the lever. The load pressure brake prevents automatic
lowering of the load.
NOTICE!
If used "overhead" or "lashing" undefined forces may appear. We recommend to use a hoist with
slipping clutch for these cases.
NOTICE!
The best protection against functional failures in case of extreme environmental impact is the regular use of
the equipment.
4.4 Important components
Gear
Gear components are made of high-quality material.
Load pressure brake
Holds the load in any position.
A new brake system is used for the hoists (except
for the Aluminium Ratchet Lever Hoists). Brake
discs have sintered brake linings which are
designed for the lifetime of the devices when used
as intended.
According to DIN 13157 lifetime is 1500 operating
cycles (lifting/lowering movements) with 300 mm
lift with nominal load.
