Safety Summary
WARNING
• Do not use this trolley or attached equipment for lifting,
supporting, or transporting people or lifting or supporting
loads over people.
• The supporting structures and load-attaching devices used
in conjunction with these trolleys must provide a liberal
safety factor. This is the customer’s responsibility. If in doubt,
consult a registered structural engineer.
• Electrical installation should be performed by licensed
electricians in accordance with the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code(ANSI/NFPA 70) and any applicable
local, state and national electrical codes and ordinances.
NOTICE
• Lifting equipment is subject to different regulations in each
country. These regulations may not be specified in this
manual.
The National Safety Council, Accident Prevention Manual for
Industrial Operations, Eighth Edition and other recognized safety
sources make a common point: Employees who work near
suspended loads or assist in hooking on or arranging a load
should be instructed to keep out from under the load. From a
safety standpoint, one factor is paramount: conduct all lifting
operations in such a manner that if there were an equipment
failure, no personnel would be injured. This means keep out from
under a raised load and keep out of the line of force of any load.
Ingersoll-Rand Material Handling hoists and trolleys are
manufactured in accordance with the latest ASME B30.16
standards.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 generally places
the burden of compliance with the user, not the manufacturer.
Many OSHA requirements are not concerned or connected with
the manufactured product but are, rather, associated with the final
installation. It is the owner’s and user’s responsibility to
determine the suitability of a product for any particular use. It is
recommended that all applicable industry, trade association,
federal, state and local regulations be checked. Read all operating
instructions and warnings before operation.
Rigging: It is the responsibility of the operator to exercise
caution, use common sense and be familiar with proper rigging
techniques. Refer to ASME B30.9 for rigging information,
