INTRODUCTION

Important – Important –please read
Thank you for purchasing a Stannah Goodsmaster lift. Before using your lift, the lift owner must read and familiarise themselves with this user handbook, in particular their legal responsibilities as a lift owner and key features of the lift. You should also ensure that all You should also ensure that all employees are thoroughly trained in both its safe operation and use.

Your Stannah lift has been manufactured and installed in accordance with the Machinery (Safety) Regulations and conforms will all statutory requirements for goods lifts as shown on our Declaration of Conformity.

Your lift will give you many years of trouble free operation provided it is properly maintained. A Service Log Card, supplied with the lift, must be completed after each service visit. Failure to ensure servicing is carried out could lead to unreliable or unsafe operation.

Your local Stannah Service Branch is available to carry out the required examinations, to assist with the completion of the statutory reports and to provide any training required.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

Am I legally obliged to have my lift serviced/maintained?
Yes. The general duties imposed by The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 supported by Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) regulations mean that you are obliged to keep your lift in safe working order. This means you must arrange for regular maintenance of your lift.

Am I legally obliged to have my lift Thoroughly Examined?
Yes. The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) requires that a lift undergoes an inspection/thorough examination by a competent person at regular intervals (twice a year for passenger lifts, once for goods lifts or according to the lifts’ situation) and applies to all lifts and lifting equipment used at work.

I have a lift in my building. What do I need to do?
You should arrange for the lift to be maintained (regularly serviced and kept in good repair) and, if the lift is in a place of work, thoroughly examined at intervals in line with legislation.

What is the difference between ‘Maintenance’ and ‘Thorough Examination’?

Maintenance is the regular servicing of the lift, e Maintenance ncompassing the routine adjustment to components, replacement of worn or damaged parts, topping up of fluids and so on, and should be carried out by an experienced and competent lift company, such as Stannah Lift Services. Maintenance is carried out to ensure the lift runs efficiently and safely.

Thorough Examination is the systematic and detailed Thorough Examination visual inspection of the lift and all its associated equipment and would usually be carried out by a third party, or an appointed ‘competent person’. Thorough Examination provides a good check that maintenance is being carried out properly. It focuses entirely on the safety of the equipment.

Authoritative guidance on Thorough Examination as required by Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) can be found in The Guidelines for Supplementary Testing of In-Service Lifts published by SAFed.

Thorough Examination may also be referred to as Form 54 or F54 inspection – the code given to the form prescribed by repealed Factories Acts. Although no longer prescribed, the term remains in use. Other common terms used are: periodic inspection, statutory inspection (because it is required by law) or insurance inspection (inspections were often on behalf of insurance companies).

Do I have a responsibility for trapped passengers?
Advice on this can be sought from your local Stannah Service Branch.

IMPORTANT LIFT OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES

It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that:

They request regular service inspections, giving access to the maintenance company as required to enable them to carry out any inspections, repairs and checks.
The name and telephone number of the maintenance company is visible on the lift at all times.
If applicable, the in-car emergency communication line remains working at all times.

The detailed instructions in the case of an untimely stop, especially those relating to the rescue operation and unlocking of landing doors must be placed in the lift machine room or control cabinet.

PRODUCT LIFE EXPECTANCY

Product life expectancy depends largely on the environment, usage and the undertaking of proper scheduled maintenance.
The maximum recommended usage, or duty rating, for the Goodsmaster CD and CD Plus are 20 journeys per hour. Our goods lift products have a life expectancy of 25 years, but we must point out that there are component parts which will require replacement – perhaps several times.
Actual life expectancy of a lift depends on a number of factors, including:

The actual load the lift carries on each journey
The actual lift travel, as this determines journey time and hence wear on the drive system
The number of floors served by the lift
The level of usage of the lift and whether this changes over time
The environmental conditions that it operates within
The quality of the servicing and maintenance

We ensure that spare component parts are available for at least 10 years following the installation of any lift, but many are available far beyond this.

There are a number of component parts that may require replacement during the lift’s life cycle and you will be advised of this as part of your servicing schedule.

Avoid any movement of the load during travel. If the load is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are applied. The load must be positioned in balance with the lift car’s centre of gravity. If the load has small wheels, it is possible that lift car movement during loading/ unloading will put the lift car floor out of level with the landing, and so interfere with loading/unloading.

The lift must not be overloaded
The maximum rated load is displayed on the load plate, and the load should be evenly distributed wherever possible.

The lift should be used for its intended purpose
Children must not play with the lift. The lift shouldn’t be used in the event of fire.

In the case of breakage of any glass door panel, the lift must be stopped immediately and the power supply switched off from the master switch. The goods lift must not be used again until the glass door panel has been repaired.

Lift access
Special precautions must be taken when the lift door is open, ensuring that no objects fall into the structure, as well as avoiding any element which may damage the lift and interfere with safe lift operation.

Only authorised service personnel should gain access to the lift and lift control cabinet. A ‘Lock Release’ key will have been left by our installers – it is for use by trained lift engineers only – do not attempt to use it yourself. It is essential that any keys supplied are kept securely and only provided to a fully trained lift engineer.

The lift should be kept in a good condition
Daily visual checks should be carried out by a person who is competent to do so to ensure the correct operation of the lift. Worn parts and used lubricating products must be disposed of in compliance with statutory regulations with respect to protection of the environment.
