According to the Safety of Industrial Trucks Standard SS-EN 3691-5:2009 the basic
requirement for load distribution is:
100 % of the rated load spread over the entire surface of the platform.
The centre of gravity of the load is assumed to be in the centre of the platform.
Lateral forces not permitted.
Lateral forces arise, for example, through pushing the lifting trolley or the load with a hand-
tool, or by pulling using a tool or other machine part on the platform. If a lateral force is
applied to the load, the tipping angle will increase.
Always observe the utmost caution as it is very difficult to determine how great the current
lateral force is.
In its basic design the lifting trolley 75 complies with the basic requirements in the Safety
of Industrial Trucks Standard, SS-EN 3691-5:2009 and is CE marked accordingly. To
achieve safe and efficient operation, the lifting trolley may be fitted with lifting devices other
than the flat load bed included in the standard design. The current capacity for the lifting
trolley with accessories is shown in the specially prepared instructions, which in the cases
in question, must be detailed in the instruction manual and in the marking on the lifting
trolley and lifting devices.
If the lifting trolley is altered in relation to its original design as delivered, the original CE
marking for the lifting trolley no longer applies.
In addition to the built-in safety features, additional safety measures may be necessary to
the lifting trolley or in its vicinity. Discuss appropriate measures with a Hallins
representative or with a safety officer, industrial safety inspector or equivalent.
We recommend that a hazard analysis is prepared based on the Machinery Directive for
the relevant working situation.
Platform extensions, uneven loads, point loads or horizontal loads are not permitted,
unless this has been specified as permitted for the case in question. Selection of the
Distance from mast (D) = max 230 mm.
Centre of gravity (D) height above load
bed = max 230 mm.
Sideways on, it is assumed that the load
(Q1) is centrally placed on the load bed
and distributed over it.
