Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the capacity on your heaviest lift and keep the load inside the rated capacity on the specifications, then choose the lift for the height you need. An overload limiting device does not replace the rated capacity: plan the lift to the rated capacity, not to the point where the device acts. Lifting equipment must be used within its rated capacity, inspected before each use, and selected and used in line with your site lifting procedure and the applicable standards and regulations. Do not use it to lift or lower people. If you are unsure what suits your lift, speak to a qualified rigger before ordering.
