Do Schneider Electric lifting hoists used with Schneider Electric switchboards require certification?

Issue:
Clarifying whether lifting hoists used with Schneider Electric switchboards require certification.

Product Line:
Square D lifting hoists (e.g., 83Q-HOIST-NW) used with QED switchboards and PZ4 low voltage drawout switchgear.

Environment:
Products sold in the United States and Canada.

Cause:
Local inspectors may request third-party certification or inspection of hoist installations.

Resolution:
Schneider Electric does not have any documentation on record stating that the lifting hoist requires certification.
For reference, two manuals are available:

• One provides detailed instructions for the traveling lifter.
• The other is the general PZ4 guide, which includes relevant information about the lifter.

If further inspection is required, customers may need to contact third-party agencies qualified to inspect lifting equipment. For additional questions, please use the CR chatter or contact your local Schneider Electric field office.
