FOREWORD
Read this instruction manual carefully before using the
passenger hoist.
Take all safety precautions into account!
FOREWORD
The passenger hoist is equipped with a
rack-and-pinion drive.
The hoist can be quickly moved and is
easy to transport.
The height of the mast, which consists of
separate elements, can easily be
adjusted to suit the working level. The
mast can be easily and safely assembled
from the roof of the cabin.
The control system makes it possible to
stop the PLM hoist at any desired height.
Considerable attention has been given to
safety aspects in the construction of this
hoist.
Depending on the area of application, a
choice can be made from various types
of masts, cabin lengths and maximum
loads.
This instruction manual describes only
the basic machine, incl. landing
protection systems in the standard form
in which it is supplied by HEK
Manufacturing BV.

COMPONENTS

2. DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
2.1 General description
The basic rack-and-pinion passenger
hoist set consists of the following five
main components:
* ground station (cage, door and frame)
* mast
* cabin carriage
* motor carriage
* control system
The cabin carriage is guided along the
mast by means of Nylontron rollers and is
mounted in a C-frame construction in
which cages of different dimensions can
be fitted.
A fail safe brake is mounted on the cabin
carriage (see fig. 2-3). If the pre-
determined speed of descent is
exceeded, the fail safe brake brings the
cabin to a stop, prevents it from
descending further and also switches off
the motor carriage.
The motor carriage (see fig. 2-4) is
equipped with two or three electric
motors. The motor carriage is moved
along the mast by means of one pinion
per motor and a rack. The motor carriage
can easily be coupled to a hoist to reduce
the transport heigtht.
Plugs are used for all electrical
connections which must be broken for
transport purpose.
