Specific Safety Instructions; Instructions For Use - Tractel pal-turn Notice D'utilisation

§ Electrical connection mono-speed/bi-speed with a three-phase network (1 earth connection
and 3 phases). Respect the instructions of the motor manufacturer (see manufactured
instructions).
Straps: different types, positioning and changing (see instructions for use).
§
§ Never turn over a non-equilibrated load (the load and the Pal-turn
horizontal during lifting). Load imbalance sensor provided as option (see instructions for use).
§ Length of the load depending on the pal-turn™: the load turner straps must be uniformly
distributed on the load length and depending on the load geometry (see next chapter).
§ Adjustable model:
o Set up the straps position according to the lifted load length (see §7).
o Always check that the pulley indexing is well-latched in the driving key hole.
§ When in continuous use, the rotation can cause the load to move horizontally and therefore a
risk that the load could slide out and fall.
§ Applications with a single load turner: the hook of the hoisting device must be situated above
the center of gravity: load perfectly horizontal under the load turner before the rotation
starting.
Checks of the turned over load
In case of a simultaneous turn over with several loads, it is imperative to lock them together.
§
Check before the turn over that the load type and the straps choice are compatible (sharp
§
edges, abrasion...).
§ Check that the load characteristics can stand the stresses generated by the turn over
(compressive stress on the straps, pressure on the load edges...).
Check that the load is rigid enough not to deform itself in the straps – stiffen if necessary.
§
§ Check the load temperature (max. temperature: 60°C – beyond contact Tractel Solutions).
The load must have a minimal weight of 20% of the device WLL. Below this value, straps or
§
pulleys may slip.
Always make the turn at the lower possible height, so as to avoid touching the ground or any
§
obstacle during turning but with no excess height to be able to lay the load quickly in case of
problem.
§ Always make the turn in a clear area
