1 – General warning

Gantries themselves are considered structures and are not covered by the European Directive. Once equipped with a manual or electric hoist, they are lifting equipment: a "machine ", and are subject to European regulations, and especially the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

Before using this gantry, the user must read this instruction manual and comply with all the instructions in order to ensure safe and efficient use.

This instruction manual must be available to all operators. The manufacturer will provide additional copies on request.

Gantry / hoist assemblies can perform lifting operations in a given workspace. Please ensure that the operator is qualified to operate the machine in the conditions provided for in this manual. This will ensure the safety of both people and the environment.

Never use this gantry with a load exceeding the maximum load indicated.

Gantry / hoist assemblies may under no circumstances be used for personnel lifting.

Before use, the operator must always ensure that the work area is clear and that the machine, cable or chain, hooks, markings and moorings are in good working order.

The manufacturer shall not accept any liability for consequences resulting from the use or installation of equipment not provided for in the present instructions; or for the consequences of removal, modification or replacement of original parts or components with parts or components from other sources without the written agreement of HUCHEZ.

2.3. Operation

Push on posts for setting up or moving the gantry. The trolley also moves along the rail. The combination of these two movements facilitates precise positioning in complete security.

3 – Handling - Storage

The handling of the gantry crane is carried out simply rolling or in the original packaging.

Store the equipment away from any harsh environmental conditions (dust, damp…). It must be cleaned and protected from corrosion (lubrication…).

4 – Assembly and set-up

Please comply with the instructions given below:

4.1. Assembling/Disassembling of the gantry crane:

- Remove the bolts Rep : 2 assembled on the plates of the beam Rep : 1.

- Lift the beam Rep : 1 using an appropriate means of lifting up to the height of the legs.

- Regulate one of the vertical legs Rep : 3 by making it coincide with the plates, introduce the screws Rep : 2 + nuts, then block the plates one against the other.

- Repeat the same operation for the second leg.

Another method consists of mounting the entire beam on the fl oor with the legs lying on the side and then putting the gantry crane on its wheels. However, the assembly order is not different.

4.2. Using the gantry crane:

It is very important to read these instructions carefully to enable you to install, use and maintain your equipment and reduce any risks caused by its incorrect use.

- Periodically grease the pivots of the wheels. - Ensure every year that all of the screws and bolts are well tightened. - Check the condition of the lifting device in accordance with the specifications in its technical

manual. - Replace any suspect or worn components with original parts. - Any repairs to the gantry crane must be carried out by an approved technician. - Set out an inspection program and record all the maintenance work carried out on the equipment. - It is very important to respect these conditions of use and maintain to ensure the good

performance of the equipment. - Never modify the equipment without suitable study and the authorization of the manufacturer. - Never change the values and settings of the safety devices outside the limits provided for in the

manual or without the agreement of the manufacturer. - Only use approved lifting equipment. It is dangerous to use non-approved accessories. - Never bypass isolating switches, electrical switches, prevention or limiting equipment. - Never move or lift the equipment of using the electrical cables. - Never put the hoist down without using a suitable support to avoid damage to the components on

the underside.

REMINDER

All lifting devices must be received by an authorised organisation before being put into service.

It is formally prohibited to use any lifting device for the purpose of transporting personnel.

6 – Contraindications of use

It is very important to read these instructions carefully to enable you to install, use and maintain your equipment and reduce any risks caused by its incorrect use. Before using the equipment, check that there are no causes of overloading such as: grip, vacuum, sticking, etc. Any use that is not compliant with the following is dangerous and the manufacturer refuses to accept any liability in such cases. Please comply with the instructions given below. All prohibited and incorrect uses or operations are presented below: It is prohibited to: lift a load exceeding the maximum operating load indicated on the equipment. Shock or accidental

catching of the load being handled with the environment can generate overloads. use the equipment to pull away, un-jam or pull sideways. pull at an angle, bring the equipment vertically from the load before lifting. swing the load. use the equipment to lift or transport people; walk under a load; leave a load hanging. use hooks without a latch, loads which do not correspond to those indicated on the machine or

which are in a poor state; use equipment that is in poor condition (wear, deformation…) insert objects into moving parts; touch any moving parts. block, adjust or remove switches or end of travel devices to go higher or lower than permitted by

them. perform operations on a machine while it is loaded; let the load free fall; cause abrupt movements on the equipment. use the hook when cantilevered. use the lifting chain or cable as a sling sling anything from the nose of the hook (risk of damage to hook and falling of load) use the machine for operations other than those for which it is designed. use parts or components other than the original ones provided by the manufacturer. use defective spare parts or whose origin in not fully known. install rigging with the fixed point on the lifting equipment. move a load before moving personnel away. get the hook with or without load above the staff. allow a non-qualified person to use the device. use the mechanical stops as a means of repetitive stoppage. use the equipment as an earth reference for welding. use the equipment with an electric power supply that is different from the one recommended

(under or over voltage, absence of a phase…) use the controls pointlessly (avoid keying on them). This can cause overheating or even the

deterioration of the equipment. use the electric cables to move the equipment around. twist the loading chains. (turn-around of the sheave…). use the safety devices as a means of measuring the carried weight..

7 – Compulsory regulatory checks

To ensure the good performance of the equipment, and in the absence of specifi c legislation, the fol-lowing is recommended by the manufacturer in terms of dynamic and static load tests on standard devices.

Any other regulation, whether related to specifi c conditions of a country or a particular use should be specifi cations duly approved by the manufacturer.

This equipment has been designed to be tested:

- in a dynamic situation, with coefficient 1.1 For the dynamic tests will be added an overload of 10% at rated load, whether electric or manual lifting. The tests are therefore performed on all movements (lifting, travelling, translation, rotation etc...) It will not be necessary to lift the load to its maximum height but it is possible to do it and no time is imposed. One move of each movement is necessary and sufficient.

Interpretation of dynamic tests: During these tests the hoist trolley + trolley must remain stable. Ensure no visible distortion too important. Measure the height under beam or over beam empty before applying the load ( Load at the end of the arm if it is a jib crane or at the center if it is a gantry crane ) and remeasure under dynamic load. Do the ratio to recalculate the measured defl ection under dynamic load by dividing by 1.1 in order to interpret Deflection under nominal load, this defl ection is directly proportional to the load. Only the defl ection under nominal load is interpretable to the exclusion of any other! Defl ection observed (interpreted under nominal load) must not exceed 1/100th of the span of the jib cranes and 1/200th of the sum Height + Span. For wall jib cranes deflection should not exceed 1/200e of the span (it will not take into account the possible deformation of the post which is supposedly of sufficient size and have been calculated by the user ) If the dynamic tests give satisfaction, there will be static tests.

In a static situation: - at a coefficient of 1.5 for machines using human power - at a coefficient of 1.25 for other machines

Static testing has for single purpose to ensure the strength of the assembly and verify the absence of permanent deformation or residual. No deflection measurement shall be interpreted during these tests if it is only to verify the absence of permanent deformation

Requirements during the static tests: For static tests, it will be an overload applied in more than 25% of the rated load, whether it be a manual or electric lifting. These tests will be performed only on the lifting arms of the bracket in the center position (end of the load arm in the case of jib crane and to the center of a gantry). It is forbidden to lift the load increased by 25% with the device but additional weights are added to the dynamic load. In the case of a wall jib, the static test will be done in the sense that less strains the the building structure. The duration of this test shall not exceed 30 min.

Interpretation of static tests: If after static tests, no permanent or residual deformation is found, the device can be operated. As defined in the European Machinery Directive, any calculation notes will not be issued unless requested to ordering and duly accepted by Comege, as well as the detailed plans, schedules etc. .... which are the subject of the information folder and as such are confidential documents.

Concerning electric chain hoists: It is reminded that these devices are equipped with torque limiters and not load limiters. Also for security reasons, their setting far exceeds the trigger threshold 110% of the rated load. It is quite acceptable that the torque limiters can be «calibrated» to 125 or even 130% of rated load. This measure aimed to anticipate wear slip friction system providing torque limit and prevent and to the risk of «slippage» of the load.

A periodic maintenance check is required at least once a year:

In accordance with regulations, the user must keep an inspection booklet recording all the inspections and operations carried out on the machine (Rule FEM 9755).

In France, since 1 April 2005, the owner of a lifting machine must: 1. Pursuant to the provisions of the order of 2 March 2004, keep a maintenance log in which the

following must be recorded:

Maintenance operations performed in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer All other operations (inspection, maintenance, repairs, replacement or changes to the machine)

The following must be recorded for each of these operations: the date of the work, the names of the people and, where appropriate, the companies which carried out the work, the nature of the operation and, if it is a regular operation, the frequency. If the operations involve the replacement of certain machine components, the references of these components must be indicated.

2. By virtue of the order of 1 March 2004, article R 232.12 of the Labour Code:
