From a safety point of view, please check the general condition of the clamp at least once a month,
according to the guidelines of Chapter 7 - Disassembling/Assembling.
Stop using the beam lifting clamp if:
- The body is split or deformed, particularly in the corners of the jaws,
- The lifting shackle is visibly deformed,
- The cam and/or pivot teeth are no longer sharp,
- The spring has become stretched or broken,
- The lever locking mechanism has become inefficient or has ceased to work,
- The shackle pins have been visibly deformed,
- Any retaining pins are missing,
- The side of the lifting shackle is pressed in at the spacer pins.
Depending on the defects noted:
- dismantle and clean the beam lifting clamp (see Chapter 7 – Disassembly/Assembly) or have the clamp
overhauled by REMA Holland BV or by a recognized mechanical repair centre (see Chapter 8 - Overhauling).

7. DISASSEMBLING/ASSEMBLING

The safety beam lifting clamp can be easily disassembled for cleaning and inspection purposes.
Please make use of the following sequence:

assembly (4).
- Remove the retaining pin and the cam pin (8).
- Remove the lifting shackle (3) and the cam assembly.
- Remove the shackle pin (2).
- Dismantle the lever (5) by removing the retaining pin and take the lock assembly (7) out of the clamp.
- Remove the pivots (6) using a socket and ring spanner.
- Clean all parts with a standard degreasant.
- Grease all shackle pins with a bearing grease.
- Oil the spring if necessary.
- Assemble all the parts in reverse sequence.
- Always insert new and original retaining pins and do so with the aid of a hammer, combination pliers and
pin punch.
- Always fit new pivot bolts and nuts.
- When replacing parts always make sure to use original REMA components.
- Remove any burr with a file.
8. OVERHAUL
At least once a year or in case of any damage to the CBK safety beam lifting clamp, the clamp should be
inspected, tested and if necessary overhauled by REMA Holland BV or by a recognised mechanical repair
centre.
