5 LIFTING
- Check whether the safe working load (WLL) of the clamp is sufficient for the force exerted
in the hoisting situation.
- Attach the lifting clamp to the hoisting equipment:
1 directly on a crane hook with safety securing device,
2 by means of a chain shackle or D shackle,
3 by means of a belt or chain possibly in combination with a chain shackle or D shackle.
- Make sure all attachment devices are approved and are of the correct tonnage. All the
attachment links and securing devices must be sufficiently large, so that the clamp can
move freely in the hook.
- Check that the clamp has no visible damage.
- Check that the clamp opens and closes easily.
- Clean the object where the lifting clamp will be fitted, removing, grease, dirt and mill
scale.
- Open the clamp by means of the spindle
Position the jaw fully on the object and make sure the clamp is attached in such a way that
the load is balanced during hoisting.
- Secure the clamp by completely tightening the spindle.
Use at least 40 Nm for the 1.0 CSH t/m 6.0 CSH and at least 10 Nm for the 0.5 CSH. This
force can possibly be increased further when hoisting heavier or thicker materials.
- Hoist steadily to allow effective gripping on taking up the load.
- If the load slips, work through the "hoisting" section (5) again.
- Make sure the load is stably positioned before the clamp is removed from the object.
