GETTING STARTED - OPERATION
1.2 OPERATION
Red Rooster pneumatic hoists and trolleys are designed for the lifting and lowering of loads within the capacity of the model selected. The range
of hoists and trolleys can be UKCA, or CE marked and conform with ‘Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 (As they apply to machinery
being supplied in or into Great Britain from 1st January 2021) for UKCA marking and also the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC for CE marking. At
present both the UK and EU use the same standards with BS EN 14492-2 being the main standard for powered hoisting equipment.
Our range of hoists and trolleys are available as hook suspension units, trolley mounted, built into low headroom units and cranes. Nearly all
hoist models are also available as Ex ZONE 1 or 2 hoists for use in hazardous areas, with corrosion protection, and can work in temperatures
of -20°C to +60°C. When used outdoor or offshore hoists should be protected against the weather and examination and maintenance interval
should be reduced.
Our hoists are extremely robust being developed over many years in the harshest of environments and will require little maintenance if kept
lubricated on a regular basis. Noise levels can be found in the technical specification and as motor lubricating oil is supplied through the
filter lubricator fitted to the hoist there will be a small amount of oil escaping into the atmosphere through the exhaust air: this can be piped away
or collected using an exhaust cleaner. In certain circumstances and temperatures there is a danger of icing of the motor and exhaust silencer.
This can be prevented by using an anti-icing lubricant such as Silkair or by fitting a dryer to the air supply to remove moisture from the air
supply. Some anti-icing oil may damage air hoses and the o-ring in the hoist valve.
