•
TEMPERATURE
min.–10°C;max.+40°C,max.relativehumidity80%.
•
INDOORUSE
as the jib crane is not exposed to atmospheric conditions no particular precautions need be taken.
•
OUTDOORUSE
the jib crane may be exposed to atmospheric conditions during and after use. The electric parts of
the hoist and trolley have IP55 protection, however, protecting the hoist and trolley with a shelter of some kind is
recommended (fig. 58).
To avoid oxidation protect the structure by using a suitable treatment and lubricating the rotating mechanisms.
Outdoor use of the jib crane is possible when there are no exceptional atmospheric conditions, which can modify
the values of the foreseen loads, for example: heavy rain, heavy snow, stormy winds, etc.
5.2.2 Danger zones and people exposed to risk
Danger zones are all areas, in any operative phase, where the people present can be subjected to a risk which
constitutes a danger for their safety, health or psychophysical integrity. It is necessary to inform the
people potentially
exposed,
that the jib crane operator does not always work with sufficient visibility to prevent all potential risks of
crushing, hitting and dragging. These people must, therefore, take care to avoid exposing themselves to such risks
during manoeuvres in these areas (fig. 59).
In the standard version the crane must not be used in environments or areas:
