About braking system failure

Equip with winch complying with regulations metioned in the BGV C1 directive, specially 

DIN EN ISO 12100:2011-03 and DIN EN ISO 12100-1:2004-04.

About loss of stability

Maintenance of lifting tower stability must basically be as per the following measures: 

• Professionalization, training and risk awareness of lifting tower users.

• Equip with different safety devices and advices from the manufacturer to reinforce stability, 

as: 

- Safety pins which secure the lifting tower once raised.

- Bubble level to help vertical adjustment.

- Maximum load specification that the lifting tower can raise.

- Maximum slope specification which the lifting tower can access safely. 

About objects falling to a different level, knocks and/or contusions with objects

The risk of objects falling to a different level can be prevented by using homologated safety 

elements, e.g., a safety pin which fixes the inner profile of the lifting tower in its working 

position, so the cable does not support load and guaranteeing the impossibility of a drop. In 

the event of cable breakage, the braking system will act automatically. Furthermore, if steel 

elements have been zinc coated it protects the entire unit from oxidation and corrosion.

These risks can also be minimised with correct lifting tower maintenance. The user must 

perform periodical inspections on safety elements and make the necessary repairs in case 

deficiencies are detected.

Moreover, the consequences of these risks can be reduced limiting an access area to the lifting 

tower and with a correct training of personnel.
