When using the elebia lifting hook, it's crucial to be aware of the temperature limits and environmental conditions to ensure optimal performance and safety. Here’s what you need to know:
Influences Resulting from Temperature
The elebia lifting hook is engineered to function effectively within a temperature range of -20 °C to 60 °C (-4 °F to 140 °F). Operating outside this range can severely compromise the hook's integrity and functionality, leading to potential safety hazards. For instance, extreme cold can render materials brittle, increasing the risk of failure during lifting operations. Conversely, excessive heat can weaken structural components, resulting in a loss of load-bearing capacity.
To ensure safe usage, always monitor the ambient temperature before deploying the elebia lifting hook. If conditions are expected to fall outside the specified range, we strongly recommend postponing the use of the hook until it can be safely utilized within the designated temperature limits. This precaution helps maintain the hook's reliability and ensures the safety of all personnel involved in lifting operations.
Influences from Acids/Alkalines and Chemicals
The elebia lifting hooks are not designed to withstand exposure to acids, alkaline substances, or their vapors. These corrosive agents can cause significant damage to the hook's materials, leading to corrosion or degradation that may compromise its lifting capabilities. It’s essential to be aware of your working environment, as certain production settings may inadvertently release harmful acids or vapors, posing a risk to the lifting hook.
To ensure the longevity and safety of your elebia lifting hook, always keep it away from any corrosive substances. If you are working in an environment where exposure to such chemicals is possible, consider implementing protective measures, such as using barriers or alternative lifting solutions specifically designed for those conditions. By adhering to these guidelines, you can maintain the reliability and safety of your lifting operations.
Options for Enhanced Protection
Heat Vest
For enhanced protection, consider the Heat Vest, designed specifically for use with the Neo20 and Neo20S hooks. This vest features a three-layered composite that includes fiberglass, high-performance Pyrogel® XTE aerogel insulation, and Kaowool 1600 paper. The external fiberglass fabric provides a durable outer layer, while the Kaowool 1600 paper acts as an effective thermal barrier. The aerogel insulation, positioned closest to the NEO20 hook, delivers superior thermal protection against corrosion under insulation. This combination ensures that your lifting operations remain safe and efficient, even in challenging temperature conditions. By utilizing the Heat Vest, you can further enhance the performance and longevity of your elebia lifting hook.
High Temperature LEDs
With the configurator, you can choose the option for high-temperature LEDs. This feature enhances the capability of your lifting hook to support higher temperatures than the normal limit, ensuring reliable operation in extreme conditions. This option is only applicable for neo20/neo20s hooks.
Battery Options
Elebia offers various battery options, including high-capacity batteries for the Evo-1700 and high-temperature versions for the Evo2-1700 and Evo-1700. If you need to operate in hot environments, consider selecting the batteries designed to withstand high temperatures, such as the Evo2-1700T or Evo-1700T.
By following these guidelines and utilizing the available options, you can ensure the safe and effective use of your elebia lifting hook in various environmental conditions.
