W+W GuideBrake

Description

W+W GuideBrake mounted on the two car rails and with suspended chain hoists

W+W GuideBrake is a load carrying device and is used exclusively for temporary suspension of the car and / or the counterweight. The reason for this for example is the simple replacement of ropes or a piston packing.

The W+W GuideBrake is attached to the guide rails at the same height on both sides. The chain hoists can then be hooked in and the load on the car or counterweight can be relieved. This makes mounting work considerably easier, for example when replacing the lift ropes.
Maximum load per rail clamp 2500 kg, total 5000 kg.

All parts of the W+W GuideBrake are supplied in a handy case.
Maintenance or repair work can be carried out quickly and safely.

Conditions of use

The W+W GuideBrake is to be regarded as load handling attachment. Accordingly, it must be inspected at least once a year by a competent person in accordance with DGUV Rule 109-017* (Operation of load handling attachments and slings in hoisting operations). Depending on the operating conditions, inspections may be required at shorter intervals. This applies, for example, to particularly frequent use, increased wear, corrosion or heat exposure or if increased susceptibility to faults is to be expected. An extraordinary test is required after exceptional events (e.g. falling of the clamp or slipping). The user is responsible for complying with and carrying out the inspection.

If the inspection cannot be carried out by the user, the W+W GuideBrake can be professionally inspected by the following companies. These companies are familiar with the component and have suitable testing equipment:

*Outside Germany, other rules and regulations may apply.
The user is entirely responsible for compliance.

- Before use, the GuideBrake must be checked for externally recognisable defects and functionality.
  The teeth of the clamping chamber must be sharp.
- The GuideBrake may only be mounted on guide rails for the car and/or counterweight.
- Check in advance whether the rails are suitable for the vertical load (applies in particular to the counterweight).
- Max. load 2500kg per side / 5000kg in total.
  Overloading due to uneven load distribution is not permitted (use aids if necessary).
- The GuideBrake may only be loaded statically (no impulse force, e.g. catch impact).
- Additional safety measures are required.
- Before restarting the installation, both clamping chambers must be completely removed.

Information on the use of chain hoists and round slings

Chain hoists and round slings are only permitted for lifting and transporting loads. Additional safety measures are required when transporting persons (on the cabin). This could be a safety gear or an additional securing device with chain slings. When replacing the cables, these can also be replaced successively to prevent the cabin or counterweight from falling.
Standing under the cabin is not permitted.

The user is solely responsible for the correct securing of the car or counterweight and compliance with all applicable safety regulations (including BetrSichV, DGUV Rule 109-017 and TRBS)..
