Ensure that all employees involved in the operation of this Self Supporting Bridge Crane understand and follow
these instructions!
The standard Self Supporting Bridge Crane is suitable for use indoors in most non-classified locations. It is intended
to be used to lift and move stable, evenly-distributed, non-hazardous materials loads.
Loading:
Note: The addition of any ancillary equipment to the Self Supporting Bridge Crane by third parties must be taken into
account when determining the maximum working load.
Warning: Do not exceed the Self Supporting Bridge Crane’s load ratings. Injury to personnel or permanent damage to
the Self Supporting Bridge Crane could result from exceeding the listed capacity.
Operation:
Inspect the Crane, Hoist and Trolley function daily.
Warning: Keep all personnel clear of the machine when it is in operation. Be certain no part of any person or object is
under any part of the crane or load before lowering the unit.
Caution: Always carefully watch the crane and any load on it when it is in operation.
The Self Supporting Bridge Crane is furnished with a constant-pressure (dead-man style) pushbutton control.
Pressing the “UP” pushbutton or foot switch will turn on the power unit to raise the platform. The platform will
raise only while the control is pressed. Upon releasing the control, the platform will stop and hold its position.
Pressing the “DOWN” pushbutton or foot switch will energize the lowering valve to allow the platform to descend by
gravity (the motor does not run). Again, releasing the control will stop the platform movement, and the unit will hold
its position.
Caution: Never use the Self Supporting Bridge Crane if any damage or unusual noise is observed, if it is in need of
repairs, or if it seems to be malfunctioning. Notify your supervisor or maintenance personnel if you notice anything out
of the ordinary.
Ensure that all information/safety/warning labels stay in place and are legible. Refer to the labels page in this
manual.
