Before installation
● The crane scale is suitable for weighing and transportating accordance with EN 13155:2009-08
„Crane safety - section 5.1.1.1 Mechanical load-bearing parts“.
● The crane scale is attached to the hook of a crane in accordance with the regulations.
● The operator is responsible for the safety of the device. Crane scales are load suspension devices
according to DIN EN 13155, including accessories such as hooks, shackles and eyes. These parts must
be inspected for safety at regular intervals, but after one year at the latest. Visual inspections for
damage to tensile stressed parts such as hooks, eyes, connecting links etc. should be carried out
continuously.
Especially in 3-shift operation, this inspection cycle must be carried out in accordance with the
Industrial Safety Regulation §11.
We recommend a safety inspection every 4 months, and after 12 months at the latest an additional
crack detection with the electrical crack detection method or the red-white process must be carried
out during this monitoring.
We would be pleased to take over these safety checks for you by sending your device to our head
office (EHP Wägetechnik GmbH | Dieselstraße 8 | 77815 Bühl).
● Check that the safety flaps of the hooks are in perfect condition. These prevent hanging loads
(ropes, chains, etc.) from unhooking.
● Check that the eyelets, shackles, lower load hooks, bolts and safety pins are in perfect condition.
In case of heavy wear (≥10% of the original dimensions) of these parts, please contact the EHP
customer service.
● Safety and protective devices must never be removed or modified.
● Make sure that the scale is securely suspended.
● Observe the regulations for prevention of accidents.
● Keep this technical manual in a safe place close to your working area.
