Intended use
3.1
The SH-2500-UNI-B vacuum attachment is used for lifting, transporting and
relocating absorbent concrete elements such as natural stone, concrete and
marble slabs, steps, pipes, etc. at ground level.
The lifting device must be attached to a suitable carrier device (crane, construction site
vehicle, etc.) using a suspension rope or chain.
The suction surfaces of the load to be lifted must be suction-tight, i.e. when the
vacuum generation is switched off, the lifted load must be held for another 5
minutes. If necessary, this must be ensured by carrying out several lifting tests.
The loads to be lifted must have sufficient inherent stability so that they are
not destroyed during lifting.
The suction plate is not part of the scope of delivery. The operator must ensure
that only suction plates that are suitable for the load to be lifted are used. It must
be intended for attachment to the lifting device.
The maximum permissible load must not be exceeded (> see section Technical
data). The maximum permissible load depends on the suction plate used (see
load plate on the suction plate).
The lifting device is built according to the state of the art and is delivered in
a safe operating condition.
Non-intended use
3.2
Probst accepts no liability for damage caused by the use of the lifting device for
purposes other than those described in the intended use. Use of the lifting device for
loads that are not specified in the order confirmation or have physical properties other
than the loads specified in the order confirmation is considered improper use. In
particular, the following types of use are considered improper use:
• Use as a climbing aid.
• Lifting people or animals.
• Storing the load in the suctioned state.
• Suction of building parts, equipment or the subsurface.
• Suction of liquids and bulk material (e.g. granulates).
• Evacuation of objects at risk of implosion.
• Suspending loads with ropes, chains or similar.
