  • Page 34: Load Chart

    LOAD CHART The maximum loads supported by each tower model, for its maximum working height, can be consulted below: USING THE TOWER AS MECHANISM. The tower behaves like a machine when lifting a load making use of the winch as a lifting element. In this case all the parts of the tower behave like a mechanism that uses pulleys, cables and guides to be able to execute the elevation of a load at a certain height.

    OPERATING NORMAL OPERATION, WITHOUT OVERLOAD Figure 104 Under these conditions, the tower raises the coupled load and no vertical displacement occurs in the carriage (1) so that the inner spring (2) does not compress and the safety pin (3) does not act. The winch handle allows the user to raise or lower the load with ease and the window of the status marker (4) shows the color GREEN.
  • Page 38: Figure 106

    OPERATION WITH OVERLOAD In the event that the tower has to raise a load higher than the one marked in features, the tower would enter overload mode. Under these conditions, the following occurs: Figure 106 - There is a more pronounced vertical displacement in the iron carriage (1). - The internal spring (2) shrinks due to this additional pressure.
  • Page 39: Dynamic Overlap

    DYNAMIC OVERLAP Thanks to the continuous development of new solutions for the lifting towers, Work Lifters has developed and patented an innovative solution that increases the resistance of the towers and reduces their deflection. Dynamic Overlap makes that each tower section overlaps with the previous one at different distances, as with trees in nature.
  • Page 40: Transport

    TRANSPORT To transport the towers: Check that the legs are firmly attached to the tower in their transport position and cannot be released. Check that the forks are securely fastened with the pins and cannot be removed. Check that the carriage is securely fastened with the car brake system. Check that all sections are blocked.
  • Page 41: With Truck Or Container

    WITH TRUCK OR CONTAINER To transport the tower by truck or container always tie the tower by two points. Use ratchets not less than 1000 kg of force for the WTS 506, 256 and 375 models. Use ratchets no less than 2000 kg of force for the WTS 905, 1206 and 708 models.

Lifting equipment and rigging are part of this norm and cover structures and other technical elements. Adopt DGUV V17/18 is totally voluntary (except in Germany) but its adoption is required by insurance companies and indeed is becoming a norm in the industry The application of this norm on lifter towers is vital because, in theaters, stages, etc.., are used to move loads above artists, technical staff, etc...
