2 Fundamental Safety Instructions
2.1 Intended Use
The lifting device SPEEDY VS-140/200 is used to lift, transport and set down porous sheets and exposed-
aggregate concrete surfaces and similar objects close to the floor.
•
The standard version of the lifting device is manually operated by two operators. Maximum permitted load
140 kg.

Using the optionally available suspension eye, the lifting device can also be attached to a suitable
transport device (crane, construction vehicle, etc.). Only handle loads with a load securing chain. Maxi-
mum permitted load 200 kg.
The control handles are permitted only for a maximum lift capacity of 140 kg.
The loads to be lifted must be rigid enough to ensure they are not destroyed during lifting.
The suction plate is not included in delivery. The user must ensure that only suction plates suitable for the load
to be lifted are used. It must be designed to be mounted to the lifting device.
The maximum lift capacity must not be exceeded (> See chapter. Technical data). The maximum permitted load
depends on the suction plate used (see the lift capacity plate on the suction plate).
The lifting device is built in accordance with the latest standards of technology and is delivered in a safe operat-
ing condition; however, hazards may arise during use.
