| S.W.P. calculation for hoists |
How you can achieve safe working periods
When the safe working periods (S.W.P.) are continuously determined and any required general overhauls (GO) are carried out by Demag, you can be certain to have a reliable overview of the remaining duration of service of your installation.
Benefits
- Up-to-date information about the remaining duration of service
- Detect hazards caused by material fatigue at an early stage
- Favourable scheduling of preventive measures
- Plan in advance when general overhauls or procurements are due
- Comply with the regulations of the Industrial Employers' Mutual Insurance Association
Safety of material handling installations
Safety comes first in materials handling installations. However, ageing and wear may result in considerable risks in the course of time. You can effectively prevent such hazards by means of diligent checks. If you are responsible for safety, you should always know the following for every one of your hoists:
- what loads the hoist has been subjected to,
- how much work it can still do,
- which safety regulations have to be met.
Regulations
As an owner and operator of rope and chain hoists, you have to check them at least once per year. According to relevant regulations, the used share of the theoretical duration of service must be determined.
