Definition of load lifting devices 

The definition of lifting accessories according to the Machinery Directive: “A component or piece of equipment, other than lifting machinery, which enables the load to be gripped and which is placed between the machinery and the load or on the load itself or which is intended to become an integral part of the load and which is placed on the market separately”.

A load handling attachment is therefore suspended loosely in the crane and is firmly or loosely connected to the load by means of slings, i.e. chains, ropes or slings.
Transport frames and racks are loading aids and are used in logistics to form loading units. This means that they combine several individual goods into larger units.
