Guidelines for completing the construction site clearance form

The construction site clearance is an important step to ensure that all organizational questions are clarified before assembly begins. If you have any difficulties answering the questions, please feel free to contact us. You can reach us at the phone number +49 5939 96796-90 or by e-mail at info@j-lifte.com.

What is the exact delivery address? A detailed description of the delivery address is helpful. If the location is on a large company premises with multiple entrances, a precise specification is useful. For example:

John Smith Ltd.
Example Street 7 (via Gate 1)
12345 Example Town

Country

How can the lifting platform be transported to the assembly site? What is the narrowest access point? Especially when larger components need to be brought inside a building for assembly, the clear dimensions of the narrowest access point are important. If there are any additional considerations for transporting the platform from the unloading point to the assembly site, it is helpful to provide this information as well. For example:

• Narrowest access point: Warehouse door with a clear width of 3 m and a clear height of 4 m.
• Special considerations: The route from the unloading point to the assembly site is only accessible with an off-road forklift.
  Or:
  The lifting platform must be transported using a freight elevator (cabin dimensions: xxx).

Please send us photos of the construction site. To ensure a smooth assembly process, it is important that we understand the entire route from the truck delivery point to the pit of the lift talbe/goods lift. The following photos are particularly helpful:

• Access to your property
• Truck unloading area
• Route from the unloading area to the assembly site (especially a photo of the narrowest access point)
• Overview photo of the assembly site
• Detail photo of the assembly site (e.g., a photo showing the conduit)
• Placement location of the unit (if the unit is not built into the lift talbe)

Has the socket or a lockable main switch been installed according to the release drawing? Please note that a power supply must be available for the commissioning of our lift tables and good lifts. Typically, this involves a CEE socket in the area of the unit.

If necessary, the installation of the socket can also be completed after the assembly, provided that an alternative, suitable socket can be used for initial test operations with the help of an extension cord.

Can the lift table/goods lift be easily anchored, i.e., are there no cables or pipes in the installation area? For the lift table or goods lift to function safely, a solid anchoring in the ground is required. It is important that there are no cables or pipes running beneath the installation surface and that the concrete has fully cured.

Do the actual dimensions of the pit match our target measurements? It is crucial that the pit dimensions from our design/planning approval drawing correspond to the actual on-site measurements. Standard construction tolerances can be compensated by us. However, significant deviations will require changes to the pit or shaft. To avoid unnecessary costs due to additional trips and transports, we kindly request prior notification of any discrepancies.

Have the conduits been installed according to the pit drawing? Please note that this point does not necessarily apply to all types of elevators. For example, a goods lift based on a column lift often does not require a conduit installed in the floor slab.

Whether a conduit is required, and if so, where it should be installed, can be found in the provided approval drawing/working plan (see the page with the pit or shaft drawing).

Have all shear edges been eliminated? The installation situation can create new danger points that were not visible to us in advance.

For example, a scissor lift table whose platform moves directly past a railing of an adjacent staircase. With an open design of the railing, there can be a risk of crushing between the lift table platform and the railing segments.

Similarly, placing a loading lift table in front of a loading dock can be problematic. If the loading dock consists of a support structure, there can be crushing and shearing points due to open beam profiles.

We are happy to assist you in eliminating potential hazards. Therefore, we appreciate receiving photos in advance of any potentially hazardous components.

Who is our on-site contact person? Every assembly process becomes easier when the exact contact person on-site is known. It is helpful to have not only the employee's name but also their direct extension or mobile phone number.

Does the delivery need to be specially registered? Generally, we coordinate our deliveries so that the lift table or goods lift arrives simultaneously with our staff, ensuring that our employees can receive the goods.

In some cases, flexible delivery is not possible due to specific loading time requirements. If special regulations apply to you, we would appreciate a brief notification of your delivery conditions.

Do our employees need to be registered for the assembly period at your site?

Similar to deliveries, our employees sometimes need to be specially registered. Of course, we do not show up unannounced; we will inform you in advance about the number of people and the specific days they will be on site.

What is of interest here is whether you require any additional information, such as first and last names for the issuance of site passes or similar documentation (please note any requirements under remarks).

Will a site-specific safety briefing be conducted?

Of course, we regularly conduct safety briefings for our employees. However, in some cases, a general briefing is not sufficient and training on site-specific hazards is required.

Please let us know if such a specific safety briefing is conducted at your site and whether our employees will be automatically registered for it.

Is it possible to carry out grinding and welding work at your site without any issues?

In some areas, certain activities that may lead to fine dust exposure, for example, are not permitted. However, such work is sometimes unavoidable. Therefore, we would like to obtain the necessary permission for such activities in advance. Additionally, any information on the required conditions to perform these tasks would be extremely helpful.

This point is related to the previous question. Welding work, in particular, can quickly trigger a fire alarm system. Since we would prefer not to cause a false alarm, we appreciate being informed about this in advance.

Are all necessary tools available at the time of assembly (e.g., the required crane/forklift)?

Depending on the contract, the responsibility for providing all necessary tools either lies with you or with us. This includes, depending on the installation situation, items such as elevating work platforms, cranes and/or forklifts. You can check the offer or order confirmation to see if you are responsible for providing these tools.

If you are unable to provide the appropriate equipment, please let us know immediately. We will then arrange for the rental of the necessary equipment. Please note that any costs incurred will be charged to you.

Is any special personal protective equipment (PPE) required (e.g., a safety vest or a construction helmet)?

In this context, we are not referring to standard items such as S3 safety shoes and similar gear. There may be specific PPE requirements at your site, such as a mandatory use of safety vests across the entire company premises.

If there are specific requirements, please let us know so that we can equip our employees accordingly.

Each of our lifting devices is tested in advance at our factory. The test procedure includes an overload test with at least 125% overload.

However, you are warmly invited to personally verify the capabilities of the goods lift or lift table after the assembly is completed. For this purpose, it is necessary that appropriate test weights are available on-site.
