2 Safety

Before working with the product, see the section Safety in PROLYTE Trusses User Manual, Part 1: General

instructions. Read the Safety information carefully and pay attention to the information provided.

In addition to the Safety information provided in Part 1, make sure you read the Safety information

provided in this product-specific user manual.

3 Limitations of use

Make sure you read the information provided in section Limitations of use in PROLYTE Trusses User

Manual, Part 1: General instructions.

PROLYTE trusses described in this manual are not specifically designed for lifting people. Adequate load

reduction and safety precautions, according to local legislation, must be considered when people are

lifted.

3.1 Allowable loading

For load capacity information, see Chapter 7.

3.2 Structural data

All our trusses are calculated according to the Eurocode 9 (DIN-EN 1999) standard. Eurocodes are

standards based on Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD).

The structural data provided before January 2016 was based on the German DIN 4113 standard. As this

standard had a different safety principle, the structural values cannot be compared.

TÜV certificates issued after February 2015 are all based on Eurocode 9.

In addition to the information and instructions provided in PROLYTE Trusses User Manual, Part 1: General

instructions, the truss loads shall never exceed the values stated in the load tables below.

8 Approved accessories

For a complete overview of approved accessories, see our brochures or www.prolyte.com.

By using excessive force when tightening accessories such as lamp hooks or cell clamps, you may cause

damage to the truss chords.

Pay special attention when using lamp hooks or cell clamps. Their inside radius may not meet the

tube they need to be attached to. This can lead to severe damage.

You should never allow accessories to damage other products.
