Ceiling hooks compliant with EC machinery directive

Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC [4] of the European Parliament and the Council of May 17, 2006, forms the basis for the development of slings and for the verification of the required levels of safety. All slings have a fixed rope loop which is secured so that it cannot come loose.

Proofs for concrete and steel

Calculatory proof of the metallic safeties is not sufficient in order to prove a conclusive safety concept for load hooks.

Many fastening points available on the market supply precisely this proof alone, however, and stop at the transition to the concrete structure.

However, it is frequently precisely the anchorage in the concrete that is the critical point.

Here two standard worlds have to be combined and the global safelies proven. ln all cases this is guaranteed in the case

of PFEIFER products using anchoring means approved by the building authorities.
