GETTING STARTED - OPERATION
1.2 OPERATION
Red Rooster pneumatic hoists and trolleys are designed for the lifting and lowering of loads within the capacity of the model selected. The range
of hoists and trolleys can be UKCA, or CE marked and conform with ‘Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 (As they apply to machinery
being supplied in or into Great Britain from 1st January 2021) for UKCA marking and also the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC for CE marking. At
present both the UK and EU use the same standards with BS EN 14492-2 being the main standard for powered hoisting equipment.
Our range of hoists and trolleys are available as hook suspension units, trolley mounted, built into low headroom units and cranes. Nearly all
hoist models are also available as Ex ZONE 1 or 2 hoists for use in hazardous areas, with corrosion protection, and can work in temperatures
of -20°C to +60°C.Whenusedoutdoororo󰀨shorehoistsshouldbeprotectedagainsttheweatherandexaminationandmaintenanceinterval 
should be reduced.
Our hoists and trolleys are extremely robust being developed over many years in the harshest of environments and will require little maintenance
 ifkeptlubricatedonaregularbasis.Noiselevelscanbefoundinthetechnicalspecication.Incertaincircumstancesandtemperaturesthere
 isadangeroficingofthemotorandexhaustsilencer.Thiscanbepreventedbyttingadryertotheairsupplytoremovemoisturefromtheair

GETTING STARTED - CHECKS BEFORE USE & HOSE SUPPORT BRACKET
1.3 CHECKS BEFORE USE
These checks should be carried out during installation and on a frequent and regular basis thereafter. If the hoist is used daily then it is
 recommendedthattheyarecarriedoutdailyasthecheckstakeonlyminutestocompleteandnotonlyhelpavoidrepairbillsbutsignicantly 
reduce the possibility of an accident or dangerous occurrence. Thoroughly examine the equipment prior to installation to ensure that no
damage has occurred during transit. Hoists and trolleys should not be altered in any way without contacting Red Rooster for clearance, as this
 maya󰀨ectthecerticationoftheunit.
AIR SUPPLY CHECKS:
 ▪ Inletpressure:4to6bar(therewillbepressurelossesacrosstheairsetandonlonghoses)Thesupplypressureshouldnot 
  exceed7barasthismaya󰀨ecttheloadlimiter.Theairpressureshouldnotexceed4bartothetrolleymotor.
 ▪ Airow:Checkairowrequirementandminimumhosediameteralsocheckthatsmallborettingsarenotstranglingtheairow.
 ▪ Theltershouldbecheckedregularlyandmanualunitsdrainedofwaterasrequired.
 ▪ THE AIR HOSE SHOULD BE SUPPORTED SO THAT THE WEIGHT OF HOSE IS NOT HANGING FROM THE AIR SET AND
FITTINGS. THE AIR SET IS NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE HOSE. SEE PAGES 7 AND 12 IF A HOSE
SUPPORT BRACKET AND MANIFOLD IS FITTED TO THE HOIST.
 ▪ Theairsupplyshouldbecleanandrelativelydry.Wherethecompressorproducesalotofwateractionshouldbetakentoremove 
the excess water.
 ▪ Checkairconnectionsizeandtypearecompatible.
 ▪ Checksecurityofairhoseconnection.
AIR SUPPLY CONNECTION:
 Everyinstallationisdi󰀨erent,sothecorrectmethodofsupportingtheairhoseshouldbereviewedwhileinstallingthehoist.Thisneedsto 
take into account the weight and size of the hose, obstructions both at deck and hoist level, connections, operating conditions and any likely
movement of the hoist and air hose.
 Thettingsandlterarenotdesignedtotaketheweightofthehose.
If the air supply hose length is over 10 metres the hose ID should be increased to the next size.
AIR SUPPLY:
Vane type air motors are designed to function using clean, dry air. The installation of an ‘in line’ air service unit although essential cannot in itself
compensate for serious contamination in the air supply. When operating the compressor in moist (humid) or dusty atmospheres seek the advice of
 yourcompressorsupplierwithregardtothettingofadryerandlter.
AIR PRESSURE:
The hoist is designed to operate best in the pressure range of 5 to 6 bar (72 to 90 p.s.i). The speeds quoted on the manufacturer’s literature
 areobtainableonlyat6bar(90p.s.i)inletpressure.Thehoistwilloperateatmuchreducedspeedatpressuresbelowthisgure.
AIR FLOW:
 Refertothehoistdatasheet,toselectthehosediameterwhichensuresadequateairow.Failuretoprovideadequateairowwillresultina 
pressure drop in the supply line and cause the hoist to stall and the brake to apply until the pressure increases. In addition, the brake will not
release cleanly and will overheat. (Although not in itself a hazard [the brake will fail safe] it may prove frustrating to the operator and a hazard
may arise as a consequence.)
HOSE SUPPORT BRACKET:
 Whereahosesupportbracketandmanifoldhavebeenttedtothehoisttotaketheweightofanairsupplyhose,severalchecksmustbedone.
 ▪ Checkthehosehangsfreelyanddoesnotinterferewiththehoistchain.
 ▪ Checkthehoseisclearoftheloadtobelifted.
 ▪ Checkthependanthoseisnotobstructedbytheairsupplyhose.
 ▪ Checktheairhoseissupportedbythehoseclamp/former/festoonsystem.
 ▪ DOuseexclusivelycorrectlyratedandcertiedpneumatichosesandttingsintheairsupplyline.
 ▪ DOsupporttheairlineuptothehoist,asthettingandlterarenotdesignedtotakealoadandmaynotsupporttheweightofthe 
hose.
 ▪ DOmaintaintheinternaldiameter(asperthetablethroughoutthesupplylength)orreducefromthelargerdiametertothe 
smaller diameter in the direction of the hoist.
 ▪ DON’Tusehydraulicttings.Theseoftenhaveareducedoricesizeresultinginadownlinedropinairpressure.
 ▪ DON’Tincreasefromsmallertolargerdiameterorinsertalengthofsmallerdiameterhoseinthesupplylineasthiswillresultin 
 reducedowandpressure.
 ▪ DON’Tcreatelowpointsintheairsupplylinewherewatermaybetrapped(orifunavoidableinstalladraintap).
 ▪ DON’Trelyonpneumaticttingstosupportairlines;theyarenotdesignedforthispurpose.
 ▪ DON’Tshortenthependantbyformingalooporacoil.Thiswillpreventthestrainerwirefromsupportingthependantandwill 
cause the hoses to become detached or kinked.

MOUNTING THE HOIST
The air hoist is designed as a LIFTING MACHINE and as such is designed exclusively for the lifting loads vertically. Non vertical lifting will
result in premature wear of the chain and chain guide and may result in damage to the limit arms or a failure of the limit arms to operate.

GETTING STARTED - INSTALLATION & TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
1.4 CLOSE HEADROOM WORKING
The lower hook of the TCR / TCS / TMH hoist includes a swivel arrangement. This allows the load to turn without twisting the chain.
However, when repeatedly handling loads with the bottom hook close to the hoist, especially when rotation of the load is prevented, there is
tendency for the chain to attempt to enter the guide at an angle. This is particularly pronounced on two fall units. If this problem is noticed when
doing a trial lift, a high quality ball bearing swivel should be mounted below the bottom hook of the hoist.
CHAIN COLLECTORS
If the hoist has been supplied with a chain collector bag or bucket, and the chain has been stored within it during shipment, remove all the
chain from the collector by hand, and remove any knots or twists.
 Inallcasescarefullyfeedthechainovertheloadwheelallowingittollthecollectorwithoutanyinterferenceasitemergesfromthewheel. 

 TheWLLofthehoistandtrolleywillbemarkedonthehoist/trolleynameplateandalsointhehoistspecicationsupplied.
The reactions on the powered hoist on the support, runway beam or crane should have been taken into account in the design of the structure.
The structure should be at least 25% stronger than when using manual equipment due to the shock loading applied by the operational speeds
and the starting and stopping of the hoist.

GETTING STARTED - HOIST CHECKS & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.7 HOIST CONTROLS
Air hoists can be controlled by either a pull cord or a pendant control operating the spool valve of the hoist operating raise and lower. The
diagram at the bottom of this page shows the set up for both types of control and the location on the hoist body.
Cord or pendant hose lengths should be long enough for the operator to stand away from under the load but still with the cord toggles or the
pendant suspended at a height of around 1 metre from the operating level. Where the controls have to be to the side of the hoist or
where the operator cannot see the load travelling the full range of the lift a banksman should be appointed to assist the operator using a
reliable means of communication.
1.8 ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Hook suspension with long chain drops.
Problem:
 Whenalongheavychainistted,andthe‘raise’ispressedwiththehoistinanunloadedcondition,duetothecentrelineofthehoisthaving 
 beena󰀨ectedbytheweightofchain,theupperlimitswitch,mayfailtooperate.Inaddition,theslackloadchainmayonsomemodulesfoul 
the limit lever arms, thus preventing it from returning to the centre (neutral position).
Resolution:
 Ashortlengthofwirerope,6mmdiameter,isttedtothehoistsandbulldoggripshavebeensupplied.
 Suspendthehoistinitsnallocationandwithasmuchchainaspossibleinuse.Applyasmallloadtothehoistandliftitclearoftheground.
Connect the wire rope sling to the support steel alongside the top hook using bulldog grips.
The tension in this sling should be enough to counteract most of the weight of the slack chain produced in the fully raised position, but it must
 notbetensionedsuchthatitiscarryinganyoftheloadsupportedbythehoist.i.e.ifttedcorrectly,inanunloadedcondition,theslingwillbe 
tensioned with the hoist ALMOST in the vertical position. When the load is applied, the tension in the sling will be slack.
Trolley Resolution:
 Whenahoistandtrolleyarettedwithheavychainoralongdrop,asecondpushtrolleycanbeusedinthesamewaytosupporttheweight.

GETTING STARTED - INSTALLING THE HOIST & TROLLEY
1.9 RRL trolleys can be plain (non-powered), hand chain (geared) or powered (pneumatic) Hoists can be hook-mounted to the suspension shaft of the
trolley, or rigidly mounted to a trolley hanger bracket.
This trolley has been designed for horizontally transporting loads by hand, through manual or pneumatic hoists under normal atmospheric
conditions of the work place.
In order to ensure the maximum performance and life from this pneumatic trolley it is essential that the following points are strictly observed.
 ▪ Thetrolleyairmotorbeingtotallyenclosedcanbeusedinanyenvironmentwithinthetemperaturelimitsof-10ºCto+50ºC.
(optional parts -20ºC to +60ºC)
 ▪ Themaximumworkingpressurefortheairmotoris4bar(58psi)
 ▪ Besuretoadjusttheanti-tiltrollerstothehighestpositionpossibleintheslottoleavetheminimumclearancebetweentheunderside
of the beam and the top of the roller.
 ▪ Axialloadsshouldbekepttoaminimum.
 ▪ Careshouldbetakenwhenfittingdrivecomponentstotheshaft,thatexcessiveforceisnot used.
This will upset the rotor alignment which has been kept to a minimum in order to give high motor performance.
 ▪ Checkthedrivepinion/gearedwheelsaregreased.
OPERATION
Plain Trolley The trolley movement is controlled by pushing the load or the hook of the attached hoist.
Geared Trolley Face the hand wheel side of the trolley.
To move left, pull hand chain clockwise.
To move right, pull hand chain counterclockwise,
Pneumatic Trolley The trolley direction is controlled by the pendant buttons or levers.
Face the trolley motor side plate and use the white or black arrows to control the pendant.
The emergency stop buttons stops the trolley.
Trolleys are either delivered assembled for the beam size advised, or assembling but require to be adjusted to the correct beam size.
The lifting points at the top of the trolley above the gearbox should be used for lifting the hoist and trolley into place. Care must be taken not to
allow the unit to swing, as the gearbox flange can be damaged and broken if it is allowed to impact against steelwork etc. If contact is made, the
flange should be inspected and removed from service for repair.
MOUNTING
Make certain the hoist is properly installed. A little extra time and effort in doing so can contribute a lot toward preventing accidents or injuries and
will help achieve the best service possible.
When installing a trolley on a beam, measure the beam flange width and temporarily install the trolley to determine the exact distribution and
arrangement of the spacers.
HOOK MOUNTED HOIST
After final trolley installation place hook over suspension shaft or eye. Make sure hook latch is engaged.
If the hoist is suspended by a top hook, the trolley suspension shaft should rest completely within the saddle of the hook and be centred directly
between the side plates.
RIGID / EYE MOUNTED HOIST
Mount hoist to trolley and temporarily install on beam to determine exact distribution of spacers to centre the top eye.
After installation, operate trolley over entire length of beam with a capacity load suspended 10 to 15cm off the floor.

1.9 FITTING TROLLEYS IN LOCATION
MOUNTING FROM THE RAIL END
Air trolleys can either be fitted to the runway beam or swing jib in two ways.
1) By removing the end stop from the beam and sliding the trolley which is already set for the flange size on to the beam and then re-fitting
the end stop.
MOUNTING BY DISASSEMBLING THE MAIN TROLLEY BODY
2) By opening the trolley up so that the inner part of the wheels will pass over the beam flange and then sliding the trolley side plates back
along the shaft, refitting the spacers, washers and nuts and then tighten up the nuts and check the wheel setting. Be sure to firmly
support the parts during reassembly from the bottom side so that the side-plates are not twisted or otherwise shifted. On completion of
reassembly, be sure to confirm that various shafts, nuts, lock pins and split pins are properly fastened without any slack and have not
been loosened.

SETTING THE TROLLEY (up to 3 tonne)
1) Slide the hook receiving part or link plate near the suspended shaft centre and grease the shaft.
2) Distribute the spacer rings and adjusting collars equally to either side of the link plate, in order to obtain the dimensions between the
wheels, corresponding to the beam width plus 2 or 3mm.
3) Distribute on each side of the side plates, washers and adjusting collars that are remaining and screw a nut on each extremity.
4) Tighten the nuts and lock nuts on the load bar and check the clearance between the beam flange and the
wheel flange.
5) Position the tie-rods, anti-tilt rollers, washers and nuts into the slots in each of the side plates. Set to give the minimum amount of
clearance between the underside of the beam and the top of the anti-tilt roller. Then tighten the nut against the roller and side plate and
re-check the wheel setting.

 ▪ Donotusethebeamendstopstostopthetrolleyonaregularbasis.Itisasafetymeasure.
DO use exclusively correctly rated pneumatic hoses and fittings in the air supply line.
DO maintain the internal diameter (as per the table throughout the supply length) or reduce from the larger diameter to the smaller
diameter in the direction of the hoist.
DO support the airline up to the hoist, as the fittings and filter are not designed to take a load and may not support the
weight of the hose.
DON'T use hydraulic fittings as these tend to have a reduced orifice size resulting in a down line drop in air pressure.
DON'T increase from smaller to larger diameter or insert a length of smaller diameter hose in the supply line as this will result in
reduced flow and pressure.
DON'T create low points in the air supply line where water may be trapped (or if unavoidable install a drain tap)
DON'T shorten the pendant by forming a loop or coil. This will prevent the strainer wire from supporting the
pendant and will cause the hoses to become detached or kinked.
DON'T allow the air hose to hang from the air set. Neither the air set or fittings are designed to take the weight of the hose.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION - BEAM BRAKE TROLLEY
(See standard trolley installation instructions)
Air and geared trolleys fitted with a beam brakes are manufactured to fit only the size of beam flange they are designed for. If they
have to be moved to another beam then a new beam brake shaft would be required.
Trolleys can either be air powered or gear travel and are based on a standard trolley fitted with blocks or pads to lock the trolley in location when
the chain wheel is turned. The chain is then turned the other way to release the trolley.
Fitting of a trolley with a beam brake should be done from the end of the beam with the end stops removed for fitting. It can be difficult to open up
the trolley to fit over the beam and then close up again while suspended.
Check operation of beam brake when locked in position. Close beam brake and then try pulling the geared drive chain checking that the trolley
does not move.

LUBRICATION
2.1
Note 1
All Red Rooster hoist chain must be lubricated to prevent wear.
Keeping load chain clean and lubricated will greatly increase the lifetime of the chain and prevent costly replacement. Very little lubricant is
needed and can be easily applied to the chain by cloth, brush or spray.
Note 2
Geared wheels (air + geared trolley only) - Lubricate exposed trolley drive pinion and wheel teeth. Brush with grease as often as necessary to
keep teeth liberally covered. If the grease becomes contaminated with sand, dirt or other worn materials, remove old greases and replace with
new grease (standard grease) during monthly or annual inspection. Temperature range of standard grease is -10ºC to +50ºC. If the trolley is used
at temperature below -10ºC or above +50ºC, consult Red Rooster since come parts shall be changed.
Note 3
Trolley wheel bearings do not need to be lubricated and must be replaced if worn or damaged. Hand chain, used on geared trolleys, does not
normally require lubrication.
In areas of high corrosion, plated chain can be used along with special lubricants to prevent corrosion from sea water and spray. Chains used
in these areas should be re-lubricated on a regular basis.
NEVER use heavy grease or bitumen based products to lubricate the chain as these will foul the chain guide, idler and load wheels and
bearings.
