4. Authorised Intended Use

The Spreader Beam is a lifting device and is used
exclusively for lifting, transporting and setting-down of
inherently stable (resistand to bending) loads with
centric load centre of gravity. The Spreader Beam is
lifted by either one or two crane hooks (Two crane
operation). It can also be lifted by forklifters, if there are
forklifter pockets. The Spreader Beam is intended for
indoor and outdoor use. The user must be sure that the
load is in a proper condition. Only properly attached
loads may be lifted and transported.
The centre of gravity of the Spreader Beam lies centric
below the suspension. The type plate is on one side of
the main girder. Please note the capacity of the Spreader
Beam and attachment devices! Obligatory for the maxi-
mum load to be lifted is the capacity shown on the type
plate!
The Spreader Beam or the load can crash if the
Spreader Beam is not used proberly. This can cause
injuries to persons and damage to the Spreader Beam
or other objects. Only lift and transport loads as
mentioned above!
DANGER
Not permitted
· pulling or tearing away of loads.
· the transport of liquid substances or bulk material.
· the transport of radioactive materials.
· lifting or transporting people.
DANGER
· the use of the Spreader Beam outside the
temperature range of –20 to +100 °C.
· the use of the Spreader Beam in areas susceptible
to fire or heavy dust accumulation, or in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
· the use of the Spreader Beam under the influence
of acids, bases or vapours.
