Morning all,
Just looking for some advice on the setup of this rig. An undergrad is setting this up and knows just enough to be dangerous. Looking for some sound feedback on the safety implications as it doesn't look right to me to bring up to management.
Firstly, the truss is angled in a v-shape on a sloped roof, does that pose any additional risk? I would assume it would be safer to hang them perpendicular to the slope to have equal tension on the points.
I also noticed the slings have no choke in the basket which also seems unconventional.
Supposing he loaded these up with a few hundred lbs each do the span of the chain hoists appear correct in distance without doing load calculations?
Lastly, the hoists are at angles to the points which also seems problematic to me.
Thanks in advance.
