All Liftmax Lifting Devices come standard with:
Proof Testing The recommended proof load on "Below the Hook" lifting devices in this catalog is 125% of the rated capacity, unless otherwise shown. Proof testing is included on all fabricated lifting devices. Product Warning Label Warning labels will be found on all equipment. Easily identified by the orange top area, they shall be read and understood and are installed to warn the user of potential hazards while using the product. Metal Data Plate A stainless steel metal data plate is installed on every product according to ASME B30.20 guidelines. Data required includes: manufacture's name and address, serial number, lifter weight if over 100 lbs., rated load, ASME BTH-1 Design Category, and ASME BTH-1 Service Class. RFID Tracking RFID Chips are included on all lifting devices made 2010 and after. This feature enables the owner to monitor inspection frequency, move inventory, value assets, and schedule preventative maintenance events. Rated Capacity Identifier All lifting devices will have the rated capacity in large block print on both sides of device. Design Category A = Lifting Devices intended to be used in controlled conditions (limited to only Service Class 0) Design factor of 2 with respect to yield B = Lifting Devices that have an unpredictable magnitude and variation of loads applied, where loading environments are severe, or not accurately defined. Design factor of 3 with respect to yield Service Class 0 = 0 - 20,000 load Cycles 1 = 20,001 - 100,000 Load Cycles 2 = 100,001 - 500,000 Load Cycles 3 = 500,001 - 2,000,000 Load Cycles 4 = over 2,000,000 Load Cycles **Make sure that all nameplates, warning signs and labels are in place and not obscured. Contact Liftmax to replace missing labels and those which are not legible.
General Information & Warnings
All products fabricated by Liftmax , are sold with the express understanding that the purchaser and user are thoroughly familiar with the safe use, proper care, and application of the product. Responsibility for the safe use, proper care, and application of the product rests with the user. Failure of the product can occur due to misapplication, abuse, overloading, improper care, or lack of maintenance. There are numerous government and industry standards that cover products made by Liftmax. This catalog makes no attempt to reference all of them. We do reference standards that are most current like ASME B30.20 "Below the Hook Lifting Devices", ASME B30.23 "Personnel Lifting Systems," and the ASME BTH-1 Below the Hook design standard. Ratings shown in Liftmax literature are only applicable to new or in "as new" condition products. Rated capacities define the greatest force or load a product can carry under usual environmental conditions. Shock loading and extraordinary conditions must be taken into account when selecting products. The products in the Liftmax catalog are fabricated by combining rigging hardware, wire rope, synthetic webbing, synthetic tubing, alloy chain, and metal mesh. Some products will have components supplied from several different manufacturers. It is critical that you read and understand the literature from these manufacturers, as well as governmental standards and industry technical manuals. The rated capacity, design factor, and efficiency rating of each Liftmax product may be affected by wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional alteration, age, and other use conditions. Disclaimer: Weights and images are approximate. See CAD drawings for exact design specifications. Model Numbers & Engineering Numbers: The model numbers listed within this catalog will be used on proposals, quotes and projects only. These model numbers help us communicate with customers using a logical model numbering scheme. Engineering part numbers assigned to Liftmax lifting devices will differ from model numbers shown in this catalog. The engineering part number will be marked on device and corresponds with the CAD drawing.
