5. ANCHORING AND RIGGING THE
HOIST
NOTE: visually inspect the condition of the
Minifor™ TR125 SY hoist and its synthetic rope before
you proceed to install the hoist.
EN
If the hoist is to be installed in a location which
is dangerous for the operator, all the necessary
safety precautions called for by the applicable work
regulations must be taken to eliminate any risk when
performing this operation. It may be preferable, in this
case, to install the Minifor™ synthetic rope in the hoist
before you proceed to anchor it (see § 5.3).
The hoist can be used suspended or seated on its base
(item 9, fig. 1, page 6).
5.1. Anchoring the hoist in a suspended
position (see fig. 4, page A)
DANGER : Check that the fixed anchoring point is
sufficiently strong for the force to be applied.
This is the simplest, most frequently used anchoring
configuration. The hoist must only be anchored by its
suspension hook (except § 5.2 below) and never by its
handle (item 8, fig. 1, page 6).
DANGER : Never anchor the synthetic rope hook
to a fixed point to have the hoist work by moving along
its rope (fig. 4, page A, mandatory installation).
The hoist hook (item 1, fig. 1, page 6) must be engaged
in the anchoring point so that the anchoring point device
fully carries the hook. The safety latch on the hook
should close completely against the hook nose. If any
interference is observed in the swivel joint of the hoist
hook with the anchoring device, you must use a sling
of appropriate capacity between the anchoring device
and the hoist hook.
The load must be suspended freely.

5.2. Anchoring the hoist seated on its
base (see fig. 7, page A)
This type of installation requires special precautions:
1� The bearing surface on which the hoist is seated
must be flat, horizontal, stable, non-deformable and
sufficiently strong with respect to the Working Load
Limit of the Minifor™.
2� The support surface must have an opening for
the two strands of the minifor synthetic rope; the
configuration and dimensions are given in fig. 6,
page A showing the seating surface of the hoist and
its positioning with respect to the opening on the
support.
3� The hoist must be positioned so that the Minifor™
synthetic rope under load does not rub against the
sides of the opening and the end limit stops on the
synthetic rope are able to come into contact with the
limit stop levers on the hoist.
4� The hoist must be wedged so that it does not move in
any way on its support surface.
5� The load must be freely suspended.
IMPORTANT: with this installation configuration,
never lift a load without first placing it directly under the
hoist.
5.3. Rigging the load:
IMPORTANT : Be sure there are no obstacles
against which the load or synthetic rope may rub
laterally or against which the load may stag.
The load must mandatorily be secured by the hook on
the synthetic rope (item 4, fig. 1, page 6) and never by
the hook on the hoist.
The load must be rigged using a sling of appropriate
capacity, dimension and type for the object to be
handled. It is prohibited to use the Minifor™ synthetic
rope as a sling by running it around the object with hook
fastened to the synthetic rope as a loop (fig. 8, page A
correct slinging).
5.4. Rigging
All the above recommendations are particularly
applicable when rigging. In this case, special attention
must be paid to tensioning (see Chapter 11).
5.5. Device for securing onto a vehicle
ball hitch (MTA)
All the above recommendations are particularly
applicable when fixing Minifor™ onto a vehicle ball hitch
using the MTA. In this case, special attention must be
paid to tensioning (see Chapter 12).
