OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS

Quantum Electric Hoists are intended for general industrial 
material handling operation with freely suspended loads.

The electric chain hoists of the QCH Series are capable of 
different load capacities. They can be installed as stationary 
or mobile units. Electric chain hoists are manufactured in 
accordance with the latest technical developments along 
with the latest technical safety regulations and 
specifications, and are tested for safety by the manufacturer.

The operational parameters of the electric chain hoist also 
encompass the compliance of the safe operating practices, 
maintenance information and parts information manuals.

The operational parameters do not include:

-

exceeding the defined load capacity,

-

diagonal pulling of the load or yarding,

-

excessive impact or lifting of guided loads.

Excessive inching operations, ground mooring and running 
against limit switches, should be avoided.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage 
to this equipment, resulting from abnormal operating 
practices.

START-UP

DANGER

• Mechanical adjustments may only be performed by 
authorized designated personnel.

CAUTION

• The operating staff must carefully read the operating 
instructions of the electric chain hoists before its initial 
operation and carry out all checks. Only when a safe 
operation has been established may the device be put 
into operation. Unauthorized persons may not operate 
the device or perform any work with the help of the 
same.

Transport and Assembly

For the transport and assembly of the electric chain hoists, 
the safety direction for handling with loads are to be 
followed. Also refer to Special Safety Direction section.

The electric chain hoists must be assembled by qualified 
staff, always bearing in mind the accident prevention 
directions. Before assembly the electric chain hoist must be 
stored in an enclosed room or covered area. Should the 
electric chain hoist be destined for operation outdoors, then 
it is recommended that a protection roof is erected to shield 
it from the influences of the weather.

Wherever possible, the electric chain hoist should be 
transported in its original packaging. It is recommended that 
the assembly and connection of the electric chain hoist is 
effected on-site by qualified designated personnel.

INSTALLATION

Prior to installing the hoist, carefully inspect components for 
possible shipping damage.

Hoists are supplied fully lubricated from the factory. Refer to 

“LUBRICATION”

 section for recommended oils and 

lubrication intervals. Lubrication of the load chain is 
recommended before initial hoist operation.

WARNING

• A falling load can cause injury or death. Before 
installing, read “Safety Information Manual 16586075.”

WARNING

• Owners and users are advised to examine specific, 
local or other regulations, including American National 
Standards Institute and/or OSHA Regulations which 
may apply to a particular type of use of this product 
before installing or putting hoist to use.

Mounting

Make certain your hoist is properly installed. A little extra 
time and effort in doing so can contribute a lot toward 
preventing accidents and help you get the best service 
possible.

Always make certain the supporting member from which the 
hoist is suspended is strong enough to support the weight of 
the hoist plus the weight of the maximum rated load plus a 
generous factor (consult a structural engineer).

If the hoist is suspended by a top hook, the supporting 
member should rest completely within the saddle of the hook 
and be centered directly above the hook shank. Do not use 
a supporting member that tilts the hoist.

Hook Mounted Hoist

Place hook over mounting structure. Make sure hook latch is 
engaged.

„

Trolley Mounted Hoist

When installing a trolley on a beam, measure the beam 
flange and temporarily install the trolley on the hoist to 
determine the exact distribution and arrangement of the 
spacers. Adjust the spacers in accordance with the trolley 
manufacturer’s literature to provide the correct distance 
between the wheel flange and the beam. The number of 
spacers between the trolley side plate and the mounting lug 
on the hoist must be the same in all four locations in order to 
keep the hoist centered under the I-beam. The remaining
