Duct Lifter

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe operation, maintenance, and handling of duct lifters. Only authorized and trained personnel may operate the equipment. The lifter must not be used as a work platform or for raising or lowering people. Pre-use checks involve inspecting for worn or damaged cables, ensuring proper lubrication of frame channels, and verifying the work area is free of hazards like unstable surfaces or overhead obstructions.

Operational guidelines emphasize centering loads on the platform, avoiding movement with a raised load, and not exceeding the rated load capacity. Winch operations require careful handling to ensure smooth movement of the carriage and frame. Maintenance tasks include lubricating frame channels with silicone lubricant and replacing damaged cables using approved fittings. Adherence to these guidelines ensures the safety and effectiveness of duct lifter operations.
