2ICE-Balancer
Before use or assembly of ICE-Balancer
please read user instruction carefully. Make
sure that you have understood all subject
matters. Non-observance can lead to per-
sonal and material damage and eliminates
warranty.
1 Safety instructions
ATTENTION
Wrong assembled or damaged compo-
nents as well as improper use can lead to
injuries of persons and damage of objects
when load drops.
Please inspect all components before
each use.
• Keep all body parts like ngers, hands, arms, etc.
out of the hazardous area during the lifting opera-
tion.
• Any technical modications at the ICE-Balancer
are prohibited.
• Keep persons out of the hazardous area.
• Detention under a oating load is forbidden.
• Jerkily lifts with shock loads must be avoided.
• When the lift starts, pay attention to a stable posi-
tion of the load. Avoid swinging of the load.
• Damaged or worn ICE-Balancer must no longer be
used.
• Bear in mind extreme circumstances or shock loads
when choosing the used components.
• The ICE-Balancer must not be used under load with
an limit inclination angle of 10° (see picture 11).
• The inclination angle ß must not exceed 45° (see
picture 13 and 14).
• ICE-Balancers must only be used by designated
and trained persons by observing the BGR 500 /
DGUV 100-500 requirements, chapter 2.8, and
outside Germany acc. to the country specic re-
gulations.
2 Intended use
ICE balancers will be installed into 4-leg sling assem-
blies ( 2x 2-leg), to achieve an equal load distribution
to all 4 legs (picture 17). The length tolerances of the
single legs will be compensated by the disposition of
the ICE-Balancer.
Please observe that the ICE balancer does not exceed
the limit inclination angle of 10° (picture 11). By the
special bottom shape of the ICE balancer you can
realize very easy the limit inclination angle of 10°.
During use make sure that the 2-leg sling
with the balancer will not be used seperatly.
Observe the safety instructions: „Lifting means used
for lifting of loads must especially avoid that loads
shift unattended or drop in free fall.“
ICE-Balancers must only be used in the here explai-
ned usage.
You can calculate with 4 load bearing strands if the
following criteria are fullled (BGR 500 / DGUV 100-
500):
• Two 2-leg slings, therof one sling with a balancer.
• Both 2-leg slings will be attached to one hook
(single or double crane hook)
• Symmetrical load spreading
• Max. inclination angle ß 45°
WARNING
The 2-leg sling with the balancer must not
be used seperatly as 2-leg sling. Lifting
means for lifting of loads must avoid that
loads can shift unintentional. (compare
with work safety requirement, attachment
1, chapter 3.2.3)
3 Assembly- and instruction manual
3.1 General information
• Capability of temperature usage
When used at temperatures higher than 200°C
the working load limits (WLL) of the ICE-Balancer
must be reduced as follows:
-60°C up to 200°C no reduction
200°C up to 250°C minus 10 %
250°C up to 300°C minus 40 %
Temperatures exceeding 300°C are prohibited!
• ICE-Balancer must not be used with aggressive
chemicals such as acids, alkaline solutions and
their vapours.
• The balancer head consists of the following com-
ponents:
Size 6-16 mm
