3.0 Pre-operational Procedures
3.1 General Information
3.1.1 When the RHN trolley hoist or deck mounted hoist is incorporated into lifting systems utilizing other
equipment, follow and complete all pre-operational procedures and instructions provided with the
equipment. Special wiring considerations must also be taken to complete the integration of the
RHN trolley hoist or deck mounted hoist into the system.
3.1.2 The RHN hoist is delivered pre-assembled on a pallet with a wooden frame. The frame is wrapped in
plastic for additional protection. (
see Figure 3-1 ). During shipment and storage prior to installation, the
trolley hoist should be kept between –4
° and +140°F (-20° and +60°C) and the relative humidity must
not exceed 80%. The standard packaging is not watertight and rainproof.
Figure 3-1 Packaged as delivered
3.1.3 The RHN trolley hoist or deck mounted hoist is shipped pre-lubricated and the gear box(s) are filled
with the correct amount and type of oil. Follow the lubrication requirements in
Section 6.1 after the
trolley hoist is placed into service.
3.2 Handling
3.2.1 Transportation – When moving the hoist or trolley hoist prior to installation, do not remove hoist from
crate. Always move hoist/trolley hoist utilizing a fork lift, pallet jack or hoist/crane system. Do NOT stack
or place anything on top of the trolley hoist or crate. Avoid swinging and unbalanced conditions.
3.2.2 Lift points – When a pallet/crate is not practical, use of RHN lifting location is acceptable. The RHN
deck mounted hoist is equipped with lifting lugs to facilitate lifting, while the RHN trolley hoist is
equipped with openings in the vertical tubes to accept hooks or slings (see
Figures 3-2 and 3-3 ). While
lifting do NOT support the deck mount hoist or trolley hoist any other way.
