LIFTING EQUIPMENT:
WARNING
The turning unit/Gearbox and antennas are heavy items and must be hoisted to the fixing position using suitable lifting
equipment, a secured block and tackle or by rope strops.
CAUTION
During installation, the equipment being lifted must be secured and supported at all times to prevent any risk of falling or
slipping.
 All health and safety requirements must be checked and observed at all times when lifting any equipment. All appropriate
personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn.
 Where special equipment such as cranes hoists and jigs is required, consideration must be given to the authority to use
such equipment.
 During lifting, a safety zone shall be established beneath the lifting area around any cranes or platforms. Safety personnel
must ensure that persons do not encroach on the area of work.
 Consult with the lifting operator to obtain the best and safest method of securing lifting strops or ropes to the equipment and
advise lifting operators of the areas of a system that are susceptible to damage such as antenna fascia’s, swing castings
etc.
 Check that the centre of gravity of the equipment cannot cause the lifting strops or ropes to slip or move.
 All straps, lifting cables or ropes must be thoroughly checked to ensure that there is no risk of the unit slipping or falling
from the lifting strap or lifting equipment.
 Gearboxes must never be lifted by the antenna or swing casting.

any part of the antenna or the swing casting.
