IS 5604:1984 – Hand Operated Universal Gearless Pulling and Lifting Machines

This Indian Standard prescribes the requirements for manually operated gearless pulling and lifting machines, which are general purpose material handling apparatus. Rather than relying on gears to lift the load, like gear lifting machines, these gearless program units use a set of clamps and levers that grab hold of and pull the wire rope allowing for lifting or pulling in horizontal directions. They’re valued for their versatility and for functioning in areas where conventional lift equipment is unable to operate. The specification addresses vital aspects including design, construction, materials, and performance. It determines the load capacity, operational safety, efficiency and wear resistance. Tests range from load-bearing ability and repeated use endurance to rope grip strength and the tendency for slippage. Manufacturers can give the assurance that when their machines comply with IS 5604:1984, they will perform in safety under different operating conditions in the field, without impairing the safety of the user.
