Chain Hoist; Hoisting And Rigging Hazards - Delta 100kW PCS Installation Manual

To prevent possible ground fault risks, equip the corresponding GFD equipment. The battery warranty
may be null and void if the GFD equipment is not equipped.
WARNING!
!
The weight of the PCS is distributed on a small surface of the floor. It is necessary to verify
the floor load-bearing capacity.
All service and maintenance personnel must be trained in normal as well as emergency procedures.

Chain Hoist

The dimensions and weights specified must be taken into consideration when mounting the 100kW
PCS. All lifting equipment and lifting components (hooks, bolts, lifts, slings, chains, etc.) must be
properly sized and rated to safely lift and hold the weight of the 100kW PCS during the mounting
process.

Hoisting and Rigging Hazards

It is important that personnel involved with hoisting and rigging activities are trained in both safety and
operating procedures. Hoisting equipment should be operated only by trained personnel.
The cause of rigging accidents can often be traced to a lack of knowledge on the part of a rigger.
To prevent hoisting and rigging hazards, it is necessary for the operator to understand the following:
the weight of the load and rigging hardware

the capacity of the hoisting device

the working load limit of the hoisting rope, slings, and hardware.

When the weights and capacities are known, the rigger must then determine how to lift the load so that
it is stable.
Training and experience enable riggers to recognize hazards that can have an impact on a hoisting
operation.
be aware of elements that can affect hoisting safety, factors that reduce capacity, and safe

practices in rigging, lifting, and landing loads.
be familiar with the proper inspection and use of slings and other rigging hardware.

be aware of all the aspects of the lift and a means of communication has been agreed upon,

including what signals to be used, when the crane operator is working with a rigger or a rigging
crew.
