Safe Usage - Hallins Newton 50 Manual Del Usuario

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 Newton lifting trolley 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 appropriate
lifting trolley is based on the load requirements that apply for each individual application.
