SAFETY

• WARNING! Ensure all Health and Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations and recommendations are strictly adhered to when lifting or moving heavy loads. The lifting or movement of heavy loads may be dangerous if not undertaken correctly.
• Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to the gantry crane.
• Keep gantry crane, chain block, trolley, lifting slings, support and beams in good working order and condition. Follow the inspection requirements as described in Section 6, Maintenance. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts by contacting your supplier. Ensure that all accessory lifting devices are suitably certified. If gantry is damaged, remove from service immediately.
• Ensure the surface on which the gantry crane is to be used is level, firm and capable of supporting the weight of the gantry crane with maximum load – we recommend concrete. Never use the gantry on tarmacadam or other soft surfaces, as the gantry may sink in.
• Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
• Keep working area clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
• Ensure that load (including the weight of the chain block and trolley) does not exceed the maximum lifting capacity of the gantry crane. Overloading the gantry crane is dangerous.
• To avoid injury, be fully aware of your own and other persons locations in relation to the lifting, and lowering, of the load.
• Keep a sound footing and balance, and ensure the floor is not slippery, and wear non-slip footwear.
• Ensure that crossbeam is level.
• DO NOT attempt to alter crossbeam height whilst under load.
• DO NOT harness the load at an angle or use any attachments not verified as fit for purpose.
• DO NOT allow the load to swing during lifting.
• DO NOT allow the load to drop suddenly. Lower load with care, ensuring that you are fully aware of the condition of the surface onto which the load is to be placed.
• DO NOT position any part of your body beneath the load.
• DO NOT use the gantry crane to move or transport a load. The gantry crane is a lifting support device only.
• DO NOT use this product to perform a task for which it is not designed.
• DO NOT use whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication.
• DO NOT climb on the gantry crane.
• DO NOT use if crane appears to be damaged, badly worn, or operates abnormally. In such cases the gantry crane must be removed from service and is recommended that the necessary repairs be made by an authorised Sealey stockist.
• When not in use store in a safe, dry, childproof area.
• This gantry crane is designed for lifting within a garage or workshop environment.
• WARNING! Failure to heed safety and warning instructions may result in damage and/or personal injury and will invalidate the warranty.
