FOREWORD
FOREWORD
The HEK GTP 1500 is an extremely
compact transport platform for personnel
and material.
This manual describes the installation,
operation and maintenance of the
transport platform.
The mast, consisting of separate
elements, can be adjusted in height to
the height of the building. The mast can
be simply and safely erected, from the
platform.
The transport platform must be anchored.
The HEK GTP 1500 offers a high level of
safety. In the construction of this
transport platform, particular attention has
been paid to all safety requirements. The
drive unit, for example, has been fitted with
an motor brake. An additional fail safe
brake, which operates by applying a shaft
to both racks is fitted.
Read this manual carefully before using the transport platform.
Take all the safety precautions as described in chapter 3 into account.
To simplify transport of the machine to and
on the construction site, the HEK GTP
1500 can be equipped with transport
wheels.
Thanks to the robust and solid
construction of the transport platform,
only minimum maintenance is required.
This manual describes only the basic
machine, in the standard configuration
supplied by HEK Manufacturing B.V.
