3.4 Structural design

The service lift is constructed of aluminium and its main components are the primary carrier [1]
and the cabin body [2].
The fully enclosed cabin provides the user with the maximum possible protection. Perforated
plates in the side walls enable a view in all directions during the upward or downward travel.
The service lift runs on a corrosion-protected steel rope (bearing rope). This bearing rope [5]
runs through the electric rope hoist [3] that drives the service lift.
The cabin is secured by a safety rope [4]. This safety rope runs through the arrester device [7]
that is installed in the cabin.
The bearing rope and the safety rope are attached to the structure with secured components; the
suspension device (crossbar) must be provided by the customer.

Betriebsanleitung • GLOBALlift R+ ATE • EN 117

 Design and function
Structural design

The service lift is guided by two guide ropes [6] (steel cables). These two guide ropes, also corro-
sion-protected, run parallel in the two side guides of the cabin. The two guide ropes are fixed on
the intermediate platforms. This enables the service lift to travel safely past the platforms
without colliding.
Operation is carried out using the control panel on the control cabinet [8] in the cabin.
The installed guide components ensure smooth cabin travel.
The Hailo GLOBALlift ®R is designed for a maximum height of 150 m.

118 Betriebsanleitung • GLOBALlift R+ ATE • EN

Design and function
Structural design

The cabin is entered or exited directly from the platform through the shutter door [9]. The
entrance and exit locations (platforms) must be safeguarded on-site by railings and be secured
to prevent falls. (Depending on the country, the lift equipment may additionally comprise an
automatic locking device.)
The service lift can be used to transport passengers or material, providing the permitted max-
imum loads are observed.
The user can select one of two operating modes. When operated manually, the service lift can be
used for transportation of persons and material. In this case, the service lift is controlled using
the control panel [8] in the cabin.
When operated automatically, the service lift is used solely for material transport or for empty
travel. The lift is then operated from the outside using the cabin outside control panel [10].
The cabin is equipped with interior lighting.
From an ergonomic point of view, the service lift is a significant aid for servicing personnel, as it
enables them to work at height without any physical strain that could affect concentration and
balance.

Optional service lift equipment

3.5 Optional service lift equipment

Equipment option: Attachment point for loads
The hole in the crossbar [3] with the load attachment point under the cabin floor is used exclu-
sively as an attachment point for lifting of loads and transporting them in a suspended manner.
Loads may only be transported on the load attachment point over a short distance from the
entrance door of the wind turbine generator to the start platform of the service lift.
It is not permitted to lift loads over the entire travel route suspended from the load hook.
The fastening and transport of loads on the load attachment point is only permitted with the use
of the mobile pendant control unit (outside of the cabin).
Always observe the maximum payload of the lift. For safe operation of the lift, the maximum
permitted payload may not be exceeded. If the maximum payload is exceed, regardless of
whether the load is suspended inside or outside the lift, the entire structure of the lift will be
excessively strained. This can result in higher wear and material fatigue.

DANGER!
Danger due to falling loads
Without personal protective equipment (PPE), there is a risk of severe
injuries due to parts falling.
– Users are personally responsible for their own safety.
– Always wear your personal protective equipment (PPE).
– Never stand underneath suspended loads.

DANGER!
Danger due to overloading
An overloaded lift poses the danger of severe injuries from parts tearing
off.
– Always use appropriate, approved lifting equipment (belts, straps)
conforming to national and international regulations.
– Observe the specifications of the manufacturer for safe operation of
the lifting equipment.

CAUTION!
Danger due to overloading of lift
If the maximum payload is exceeded, there is a danger of serious prop-
erty damage from parts tearing off and falling down.

When the maximum payload is exceeded, the lift’s overload protection is activated and the lift
automatically stops.

The service lift is equipped with a rope hoist and a fall arrester
1 Rope hoist HW 608 CE 18
2 Fall arrester HWL 608 CE
n Rope hoist HW 608 CE 18
The rope traction hoist is equipped with two brake systems. The electromagnetically
released spring-loaded brake closes automatically when the button for UP or DOWN travel
is released, as well as in the event of a power failure. A centrifugal force brake reduces the
lowering speed to approx. 24 m/min during manual descent (emergency manual descent).
n Fall arrester HWL 608 CE
The lift equipment also includes an arrester device with automatic overspeed unit. This
safely stops the service lift if the event of overspeed (fall protection).
EMERGENCY STOP function
The EMERGENCY STOP function is used in the event of danger or to avoid danger by placing the
service lift in a secured state quickly. The EMERGENCY STOP function of your lift and the use of
the emergency stop buttons is described below.
If the EMERGENCY STOP function is triggered, all running functions are deactivated.
Activation of the EMERGENCY STOP button has the following consequences:
n The service lift stops.
n The energy supply to the electrical drive is shut off.
n The electricity supply to the control cabinet (control unit) is not interrupted.
Testing the function of the EMERGENCY STOP button
Test the functioning of the EMERGENCY STOP button every day. If the EMERGENCY STOP button
does not work, switch off the service lift and secure the main switch against being switched back
on. Do not switch the service lift back on until the EMERGENCY STOP button is working again.
The EMERGENCY STOP button is located outside the lift, next to the shutter door.
When you turn off the main switch (EMERGENCY STOP switch), the voltage to the service lift is
switched off.

Standard safety equipment > Guard rail door lock (interlocking)

The main switch is located in the cabin on the side of the control cabinet. The main switch can be
secured with a padlock against unauthorised switching on.

Fig. 3: Main switch (lockable)

3.6.4 Guard rail door lock (interlocking)

Mechanical interlock with hinged mechanism
The guard rail doors are equipped with a mechanical locking unit (interlock) for folding out and
locking.
The safety concept of this interlock is based on the permanently fixed “key at the lift”. The key
for opening the guard rail door is securely fastened to a chain in the cabin and is therefore loss-
proof. It can only be removed from the lock when the locking mechanism is closed. It is therefore
not possible to open a guard rail door at a platform where there is no lift.

– Only open the guard rail door if the service lift is at the platform.
– In an emergency, the guard rail door can be opened in order to
access the ladder.
– Secure yourself using PFPE (personal fall protection equipment).

3.6.5 Shutter door and apron

Shutter door and apron
1 Shutter door
2 Apron
The service lift is equipped with a shutter door. The shutter door has a safety device which pre-
vents it from opening during ascent or descent as well as when stopped between platforms (to
avoid danger of falling). It is only possible to enter and exit when the cabin stops precisely in the
intended position level with the platform. A magnet is installed on the platform. The service lift
has a solenoid switch which stops the lift at the intended position and unlocks the shutter door.
In an emergency, the shutter door can be unlocked manually, making it possible to exit the
service lift.
The service lift is equipped with an apron, or “skirt”. This apron prevents anyone from reaching
in between the cabin and the switch plate during travel from a platform.

3.6.6 Travel limiter/collision protection

Travel limiter/collision protection
A normal travel limiter guarantees that travel at the top and bottom of the route is limited by a
limit switch [3]. A safety deactivation is also integrated at the top and bottom. This is imple-
mented at the top by another limit switch [4] and at the bottom by a collision protection switch
plate [6].
The collision protection switch plate [6] underneath the cabin serves as a safeguard for per-
sonnel. For this purpose, it is monitored using a roller limit switch [5]. The cabin is stopped
immediately if it comes into contact with persons or objects during descent.
If the collision protection switch plate is tripped or opened, the lift can still be moved upwards
(e.g. to move away from an obstacle). However, it is not possible to descend.

3.6.7 Attachment point

Attachment point in the cabin
1 Attachment point on the cabin ceiling
There are two attachment points [1] on the roof of the cabin where the user can hook in the
personal fall protection equipment (PFPE).

Observe the maximum load bearing capacity of the attachment points

Each attachment point is approved for maximally 1 person.

3.6.8 Overload limit

Overload limit The rope hoist is equipped with an overload limiter. If the maximum load capacity is exceeded,
the hoist stops vertical travel and no further movement upwards or downwards is possible. The
overload indicator light lights up in red.

If the overload limiter has been triggered (“overload” indicator light

lights up in red), then use the emergency manual descent and lower the
service lift a few meters until the overload indicator is no longer active.
Then use the hoist to move the lift to the closest platform and reduce the
load.

3.7 Optional service lift safety equipment

Flashing light (visual-acoustic signal)
1 Flashing light (visual-acoustic signal)
The flashing light [1] signals operation (upward or downward travel) of the service lift with an
acoustic signal (continuous tone) and a visual signal (flashing light).

Optional service lift safety equipment
This optional EMERGENCY descent switch is located on the start platform.
This switch can be used to lower the service lift back down to the start platform in the event of an
emergency.
Requirement:
n The service lift is ready for operation.
n The arrester device is not locked.
To move the lift, the EMERGENCY descent switch must be pressed and held down. If the button is
released, the cabin will stop immediately.
The button is located behind a pane of emergency break glass that must be destroyed in order
to use the button (safety feature).
WARNING!
Danger of injury due to collision with the service lift!
In automatic mode, there is a danger of injury due to collision with the
service lift.
For this reason, observe the following:
– During the travel movement in automatic operation, no objects or
persons may be in the travel path or on the ladder!
– Before beginning automatic operation, warn all persons in the
tower using communication devices, if necessary.
– Only start the service lift when the travel route is free! Always
observe the travel route during movement.
– If there is an acute risk of collision, stop the service lift immediately.
