LoadGuard - Electric Chain Hoists to BGV C1

A range of high integrity Hoists to BGV C1, this is a German safety regulation (published by VPLT) for a hoist capable of moving loads above people without using a secondary suspension system

Please say For further information of the LTM range of C-Force BGV C1 Hoists, winches and control systems, please visit http://www.cow-lifting-tec.de

These hoists allow the following - when people are present below the load:

Assembly/ disassembly in set up

Load holding when loads are static i.e. when a truss is in a fixed position

Staging processes involving movement

These hoists are adapted to have the following features:

2 separate brakes

Limit switches – normal & emergency limit switches

Overload monitoring, Shutdown at 120% of rated load (using a built in loadcell)

Under load monitoring (using a built in loadcell)

A friction clutch is permitted if it is not within the load path when the hoist is disconnected from the power supply

Factor of safety 10:1. The capacity is de-rated

Special control systems are required which monitor the safety features and in the event of one of the safety parameters being breached, the system shuts down

Control systems can operate manually or by computerised control using encoders which monitor positions of the hoists/ load. We can fit absolute and/or incremental encoders with very high accuracy

When hoists to BGV C1 are used, no secondary suspension such as load arresters or safety steels are needed and people can safely work below a raised or moving load

Although this is a German regulation, there should be no doubting its safety. The standard is not officially approved for use in the UK and its selection has to be subject to a suitable risk assessment being carried out

Systems to this standard are not required in normal UK truss lifting applications. Generally hoists to BS 7906: Part 1, Category A or BGV D8 Plus would be sufficient
