T-482* 3 12/97 1/4

In most applications, it is possible to use a system of mobile suspension jibs in the roof for the attachment of temporary suspended platforms. We offer the following solutions.
The equipment conforms to EU Directives and is manufactured in accordance with ISO 9002.

1. DELTA SUSPENSION JIBS DELTA suspension jibs have been designed specially for use with our ALTA and TANGOR suspended platforms. Following the instructions of this technical sheet, they can also be used for suspending other types of platform.

1.1. Standard configurations DELTA jibs are made up of components which give the following standard assemblies. The stability of the jibs is provided by counterweights. DELTA I The telescopic jib (012/013) is mounted directly on the front (001) and rear (002) crossbars. It can be moved on the castor wheels. This assembly is only for use on parapets not exceeding 25 cm.

DELTA III

DELTA II A height adjuster (003/004) is fitted to both the front and rear crossbars, to allow the telecopic jib to pass over obstacles up to 1.13 m high (chimneys, ventilation shafts, parapets, etc.). DELTA III Fitted with a reinforcing bracket (005) and guying wire rope (010), this model is recommended for longer overhangs. DELTA IV Fitted with two additional height adjusters (004) on the front and rear crossbars, with a second complete set of telescopic jibs (012/013) and crossbar extensions to increase the distance between the front wheels, this model is able to pas over obtacles up to 2 m high.

1.2. Maximum permitted overhang (A)

1.4. Installation and operating advice Before assembly of the DELTA mobile suspension jibs, always check to ensure that the roof is suitable to take the relevant loadings. If necessary check the loadings with the authorities responsable for the building. Adjust the jib centres to suit the stirrup centres of the platform used. The traversing castors should always stand on planks to protect the roof covering and the weatherproofing, as well as to spread the loadings more evenly, and facilitate moving the jib. Never allow the jibs to rest on the parapet. When assembly is complete, lock the brake on the castor wheels.

*"Maximum loading" should be taken to mean the nominal capacity of the hoist and not the actual suspended load. The loads indicated above apply to the capacities of our TIRAK hoists X-300, X-500, X-720 and T-1020.

The jibs must be completely assembled and fitted with all the required counterweights before the platform is attached to the jibs. Conversely, the platform shouild be detached from the jibs before the counterweights are removed. Regularly check the condition of the various components. Use only original manufacturer's spare parts and components. The suspension jibs should be anchored at the rear to a fixed point using a sling.

1.3. Calculation of the number of counterweights The tables below (page 3/4) illustrate the number of counterweigths needed for the different capacities (WLL) depending on the overhang (A) and the distance (B) behind the fulcrum. The tables show that it is always best to have the maximum distance (B) behind the fulcrum, space permitting, to reduce the number of counterweights, making assembly and dismantling much easier. It should be noted that the total length of the telescopic jib (A + B) should not excedd 5.60 m.

* Ra max = dynamic response for each front wheel, with the platform suspended (dynamic coefficient = 1,25). For final response for each front wheel (operating load multiplied by a coefficient of 3): multiply the Ra max. values by approximately 2.2. ** Rb max = maximum response for each rear wheel, with the platform on the ground.

2. OMEGA PARAPET CLAMPS If a sufficient solid and strong parapet (reinforced concrete or steel) is available, the parapet clamp shown below can be used. The stability of the clamp is provided by the parapet itself. The parapet clamp is mobile as it has two sets of rollers. It is supplied fully assembled. In all cases where parapet clamps are used, check that the parapet is capable of withstanding the transverse stresses given in the table below. If in doubt, consult the static calculations.
