  • Page 6: Operation

    GETTING STARTED - OPERATION OPERATION Red Rooster pneumatic hoists are designed for the lifting and lowering of loads within the capacity of the selected hoist model. Our ranges of hoists are all ‘CE’ marked and conform with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the powered hoist standard BS EN 14492-2 Our range of hoists are available as hook suspension units, trolley mounted, built into low headroom units and cranes. Nearly all hoist models are also available as ATEX ZONE 1 or 2 hoists for use in hazardous areas, with corrosion protection, and can work in temperatures of -20°C to +60°C. When used outdoor or offshore hoists should be protected against the weather and examination and maintenance interval should...

  • Page 7: Checks Before Use & Hose Support Bracket

    Thoroughly examine the equipment prior to installation to ensure that no damage has occurred during transit. Hoists and trolleys should not be altered in any way without contacting Red Rooster for clearance, as this may affect the certification of the unit.

  • Page 9: Hoist Checks

    ▪ The load chain is not twisted through (two fall or more models) and that the load chain passed through the limit lever (All models). ▪ The load chain anchor is sound (both live and slack end). ▪ Check for damage to the hoist, pendant and control lines. ▪ Do not operate below -20°C or above 60°C without contacting Red Rooster. HOIST CHECKS (AIR SUPPLY ON) ▪ The pendant buttons, levers or cords should be smooth to operate and return to neutral when released (hoist stops and does not run on). ▪ The hoist is run up and down on a regular basis. Where hoists are hanging in a dry and protected area they should be run weekly, where the hoist is outside and not protected it should be checked and run daily.

  • Page 11: Lubrication

    Note 1 DANGER All Red Rooster hoist chain must be lubricated to prevent wear. Keeping load chain clean and lubricated will greatly increase the lifetime of the chain and prevent costly replacement. Very little lubricant is needed and can be easily applied to the chain by cloth, brush or spray.

    If another hoist cannot be used to lower the load it is possible to release the brake by slackening the brake cover screws but this should only be done by a RRIUK engineer or after discussions with Red Rooster as it is not always possible or safe to do so.

  • Page 15: Maintenance

    It is recommended that the load chain and linkages are lubricated as part of this inspection routine. When repairing Red Rooster air hoists only original Red Rooster products should be used. Only minor repairs such as silencers, safety catches, pendant repairs, replacing shorter lengths of load chain and inspections should be done in location after this the hoist should be lowered to ground level and taken to a workshop.

  • Page 16: Silencing

    Before carrying out any work on the hoist the main air supply should be turned off and the residual air vented or the hoist run to dissipate the air pressure. Red Rooster hoists normally do not require any adjustment as the brake springs take up any wear and the load limiter and limits should not need adjustment once set. The load chain should be checked monthly for lubrication and oiled if necessary. Where the load chain is not lubricated for operational reasons the chain should be inspected weekly as a dry chain can wear rapidly.

    Store in a dry ventilated area. ▪ Secure hoist in a crate or suitable pallet. Transportation - Moving your Red Rooster hoist between locations. Carefully disconnect from suspension point and lower under control to ground level. Be sure that chain collector, valves and trolley drives are not damaged. Carefully lay the pendant on top of the hoist making sure tubes or hoses are not damaged.

  • Page 23: Chain Collectors

    ▪ When the load chain is dry it may not run freely into the chain collector and over fill the collector, so the chain must be kept lubricated to prevent it running out of the collector. ▪ Make sure the chain collector brackets have not been damaged during installation. ▪ Make sure the chain collector is free to move when the hoist is loaded and un-loaded. ▪ Make sure the bottom hook does not connect with the chain collector. Limit the lifting height of the bottom hook if necessary. ▪ For any assistance required on chain collectors please contact Red Rooster Lifting Ltd.

  • Page 29: Explosion Protection

    TROLLEYS AND OVERHEAD CRANES Red Rooster trolleys and overhead cranes use standard steel wheels for use in a Zone 2 + 22 area and normally with Bronze wheels in a Zone 1 + 21 area with a Gas group of IIB or IIC and Dust group IIIB or IIIC. The normal running speeds of our trolleys and overhead cranes are less than the 1 m/s that the standard allows.
  • Page 30 The Hose should always have a higher Safe Working Pressure that the hoist and above that of the air supply from the compressor. Air supply hoses need to be certified with a current report on the condition of the hose and checked before fitting to the hoist. The burst of a hose or connection failure can create a dust cloud and also create a static charge. Hose safety whip cables should be used to prevent hoses flying if a connection fails to limit the dust cloud and the flying hose. *Red Rooster hoists should only be operated with compressed air. DANGER ▪ During use the operator must avoid loads or the bottom hook impacting with surrounding steel equipment and structural steel which may result in sparking or frictional sparks caused by dragging loads past fixed structures.
