Inspection and Maintenance Log (Table 2) at the back of this manual.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
3M DBI-SALA Salalift winches are to be used for work positioning (8101000 series only), personnel riding, material handling,
climbing protection, or rescue and evacuation. These winch models are to be used with a DBI-SALA tripod, davit arm, or other
support structure, and may be used in situations where personnel or materials need to be raised or lowered 60-140 ft (18-43
m). Figure 1 illustrates the 3M™ SALALIFT™ winches.
Figure 2 illustrates components of the winch. See Table 1 for Component Specifications. 140'(42.70m)
System Specifications:
Capacity:
1 Person with a combined weight (clothing, tools, etc.) of no more than 350 lb. (158 kg.)
Anchorage:
Fall Arrest: The PFAS should be rigged to minimize any potential free fall and never allow a free fall
greater than 6 feet. It is recommended that the PFAS used with this equipment include a full body
harness as the body support component. A PFAS that uses full body harnesses must maintain fall
arrest forces below 1,800 lb. and arrest the fall within 42 inches. Body belts, unless used as part of
a full body harness, are not recommended for use with this equipment. A typical PFAS includes a full
body harness, connecting subsystem or component (self retracting lifeline or lifeline and rope grab),
and the necessary connectors to connect the system together.
The structure to which the Winch is attached must be able to sustain static loads applied in the
directions permitted by the system of at least 3,100 lb. (1,406 kg) in the direction of pull, and
8,184 in*lb. (925 N*m) moment load. When more than one PFAS is attached to an anchorage, the
static load must be multiplied by the number of PFAS attached to the anchorage. 90'(27.50m)
