Persons underneath suspended loads
There must not be any persons underneath a suspended load if it or parts of it could be lowered to less

an event.
1.6.4
Types of loads
It is permitted to attach one lighting device only to an electric chain hoist by a telescope hoist or
pantographs. The safe working load (SWL) of the electric chain hoist should be adhered to. Several
lighting devices are count as one device, if attached on the electric chain hoist at their centre of gravity.
It is most important, that the same safety as for a single device should be reached.
It is permitted to suspend more than one lighting device to a batten hoist. The safe working load (SWL)
of the type plate of the electric chain hoist and the maximum single load on the batten hoist should not
be exceeded.
Follow the above advice also if other items are attached to the load hook in special cases.
