Overload Protection
Overload protection comes standard on all OZ Lifting hoists and is factory calibrated. The overload
protection is integral with the hoist and prevents the operator from overloading the hoist. When activated,
the overload will not allow hoist operation.
Activation of overload protection:
• While lifting- Load should be lowered
• While pulling- Load should be released
• Indicates that a larger capacity hoist should be selected, or the lifting specialist should be
consulted for another means of operation.
