2.6 Safety features

The following equipment is available to ensure the safety of Yale units:

A) Emergency stop

By pushing the emergency-stop button, the whole control system is switched 
off in event of an emergency. By turning and pulling the button in the direction 
indicated by the arrow, it is unlocked again.

B) Motor brake

All Yale winches are provided with an electro-magnetically released spring 
brake, which closes automatically when the pushbutton for UP/DOWN travel 
is released and in the case of a power failure.

C) Manual descent

In the event of a power failure, the brake can be released manually by 
means of the lever.

Pull the lever out of the handle of the winch, insert it in the bore hole of the 
motor brake and push it upwards.

D) Overload switch-off

The fitted overload switch-off switches off UP travel in the event of an overload. 
At the same time a warning signal (buzzer) is triggered which only stops, if 
the cause of overloading has been eliminated.

Possible causes for switch-off:

• a winch or the access equipment is overloaded, e.g. owing to unfavourable 

load distribution or

• the access equipment has been caught during upwards travel.

After a switch-off, reduce or redistribute the load until overload has been 
eliminated or travel downwards until the access equipment is freed from the 
obstacle; it is essential to remove the obstacle before restarting.

E) Phase sequence monitoring

Yale control systems for winches for passenger elevation have an integrated 
phase sequence monitoring feature which prevents operation in the case 
of an incorrect phase sequence, since an incorrect assignment of the UP/
DOWN direction buttons may render limit switches or overload switch-off 
features inoperative.

Possible correction: change over two of the phases of the plug or turn the 
phase changer in the plug through 180°.

F) Yale safety lock

All attachments for the lifting of persons must always be fitted with a safety 
catching device in accordance with EN 1808 (e.g. Yale safety lock type YISL 
or YOSL) which secures the load against falling on a safety rope which is 
independent of the suspension rope.

F1) Yale safety lock type YISL 
 

(Yale inclination safety lock)

While the safety rope runs through the clamping mechanism inside the Yale 
safety lock type YISL, the scanning arm rests on the loaded suspension rope 
and it is thus kept open.

The YISL safety lock protects the access equipment against: 

• Rupture of the suspension rope,

• Failure of the winch,

• Being caught/stopped during downward travel resulting in the suspen-

sion rope being no longer tightened,

• Inclined position of more than the max. permissible 14° (for work 

platforms with winches fitted at the ends).
