1. General

Please carefully read the instructions in this user manual before using the lifting clamp. If you have any
doubts, please consult with your dealer. Thank you for choosing one of our high-quality products. The quality
systems of management and services of pewag austria GmbH fully comply with ISO 9001 standards. The many
years of vast experience are a guarantee of optimum quality and safety. pewag lifting clamps are manufactured from
high quality alloy steels and comply fully with all relevant standards and product requirements including:
European standard: EN 13155, Australian standard AS 4991, US standard ASME B30.20-2010 and machinery
directive 2006/42/EG.

2. Description of Functions

pewag's safety lifting clamps derive their name and reputation from the special built-in safety mechanism, which
consists of a locking device, a tension spring and a lever. Once the lever has been operated, the safety mechanism
provides constant pre-tensioning of the cam on the steel plate, thereby ensuring that the clamp does not slip when
lifting force is applied. When a load is being lifted, the clamping force on the cam is increased by the weight of the load.
The safety system also ensures that the clamp will not work itself loose from the plate as the load is being lowered.

3. Authorised Applications

pewag lifting safety clamps have been exclusively designed for the lifting and transporting of steel plates and
structures, where it is possible to place the clamp on a flat point of contact.
VCP
The VCP clamps are suitable for lifting vertically and tilting. Authorised application of the clamp includes the lifting
and transport of sheet steel from:
• vertical position.
• horizontal position.
When lifting from a non-vertical position please note that the WLL is reduced (see load diagram on page 32).
