2 COLUMNS ASYMETRIC POST LIFT 4T
GENERAL RISKS FOR LIFTING AND DESCENDANT PHASES:
The following safety devices are used to protect against overload and to avoid engine failure.
In case of overload, the safety valve opens and draws the oil back to the tank (see image 8).
Each cylinder is equipped with a parachute valve; In the event of malfunction or breakage of the
oil pipe along the circuit, the affected parachute valve will come into operation and will limit the
lowering speed of the platform. (See image 9).
If there is a break in the oil pipe, or if there is an obstacle that does not allow a platform to perform
climb or descent operations, it will trigger a device that will block the other platform as well. (See
image 9)
RISKS FOR PERSONNEL
All potential risks to the operator, maintenance worker, installer, and any other person
present in the lifting area of the lift are result from an improper use of the lift.
RISKS IN USING THE LIFT
During lifting and downhill operations, the personnel must position themselves in the safety
zone according to the rules and instructions provided.
During uphill and downhill operations, no person is allowed to work under the moving parts
of the lift but must operate in the safe area.
RISK OF IMPACT (Picture 10)
Before starting to lift the platforms up and down, the operator must make sure that there
are no people inside the hazard zone. When, for operational reasons, the lift is stopped at
a relatively low height (with a height below 1.75 meters above the ground), make sure to
avoid impact with parts of the machine not marked with special colors.
RISK OF FALLING OFF - PERSONNEL
During up and down operations personnel are prohibited from entering the platforms and
the vehicle lifted to avoid falling off.
RISK OF FALLING - VEHICLE (Picture 11)
This danger may arise if the vehicle is incorrectly positioned on the platform or in the case
of vehicles of a size/or weight that does not conform to the lifting capacity. When the lift is
in use, the engine of the lifted vehicle must not be switched on. You should not place any
object on the platform and on the mobile parts of the lift but vehicles.
RISK OF SLIDE
Any lubricant contamination in the underlying area and immediately around the lift and
the platforms must be cleaned immediately. Immediately remove any oil spills. Keep the
working area clean.
