The load lifting attachment is used for transporting individual upright sheet metal and
steel plates within the jaw capacity indicated on the identity plate (Tab. 1) and for
rotating the load through up to 180°.
Any different or exceeding use is considered incorrect. Columbus McKinnon Industrial
Products GmbH will not accept any liability for damage resulting from such use. The
risk is borne by the user/operating company alone.
The load lifting attachment is suitable for all loads of steel that can be fully entered into
the mouth of the clamp and have a surface hardness of up to max. HRC 30.
Load lifting attachments with protective lining are suitable for a wide variety of loads
provided they withstand the forces introduced via the load lifting attachment and have a
sufficient surface roughness.
The load capacity indicated on the unit is the maximum working load limit (WLL) that
may be attached.
The min. load is indicated on the side of the unit. It must always be complied with, as
otherwise the clamping force required for safe transport will not be reached.
Do not allow personnel to stay or pass under a suspended load.
A lifted or clamped load must not be left unattended or remain lifted or clamped for a
longer period of time.
The operator may start moving the load only after it has been attached correctly and all
persons are clear of the danger zone.
When suspending the load lifting attachment, the operator must ensure that neither the
load lifting attachment, the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) nor the load pose a
danger to himself or other personnel.
Prior to operation of the load lifting attachment in special atmospheres (high humidity,
salty, caustic, alkaline) or handling hazardous goods (e.g. molten compounds,
radioactive materials) consult the manufacturer for advice.
The load lifting attachment may be used at ambient temperatures between –40° C and
+100° C.
Models with protective lining may be used at temperatures between -20 °C and +60 °C.
Consult the manufacturer in the case of extreme working conditions.
If longer sheets of metal or profiles are to be transported, we recommend that two or
more load lifting attachments in combination with a spreader beam be used to prevent
load sway and lateral tensile forces.
Always transport the load slowly, carefully and close to the ground.
Make sure that when depositing the load, the crane hook does not press against the
load lifting attachment. The weight of the crane hook could lead to opening of the load
lifting attachment.
The round section steel chain in appropriately equipped load lifting attachments allows
side pull at an angle of up to 30°.
AtTTENTION: Load lifting attachments with Flyer chain must not be subjected to
side pull at an angle.
Only use crane hooks with a safety latch.
The suspension eye of the load lifting attachment must have sufficient space in the
crane hook and be freely articulating.
In the case of malfunctions, stop using the load lifting attachment immediately.

(list not complete)
Do not exceed the rated load capacity (WLL) of the unit.
Only loads within the specified jaw capacity must be picked up. The min. dimensions of
the load must always be complied with in particular for load lifting attachments with a
jaw capacity that does not start with 0.
The load must never be less than the min. load, as otherwise the clamping force
required for safe transport will not be reached.
Any modifications of the load lifting attachment are prohibited.
It is forbidden to use the load lifting attachment for the transportation of persons.
When transporting loads ensure that the load does not swing or come into contact with
other objects.
Only one load may be transported at a time with the load lifting attachment.
Always insert the load fully into the mouth of the clamp.
The unit itself must never be used as a means for attaching ropes, chains or belts.
Do not allow the load lifting attachment to fall from a large height.
The unit must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.

PERATION
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations load
lifting attachmentt must be inspected:
• in accordance with the risk assessment of the operating company,
• prior to initial operation,
• before the unit is put into service again following a shut down
• after substantial changes,
• however, at least once per year, by a competent person.
Attention: Actual operating conditions (e.g. operation in galvanizing facilities)
can dictate shorter inspection intervals.
Repair work may only be carried out by specialist workshops that use original TIGRIP
spare parts. The inspection (mainly consisting of a visual inspection and a function
check) must determine that all safety devices are complete and fully operational and
cover the condition of the unit, suspension, equipment and supporting structure with
regard to damage, wear, corrosion or any other alterations.
Initial operation and recurring inspections must be documented (e.g. in the CMCO
works certificate of compliance).
If required, the results of inspections and appropriate repairs must be verified.
Paint damage should be touched up in order to avoid corrosion. All joints and sliding
surfaces should be slightly lubricated. In the case of heavy contamination, the unit must
be cleaned.

NSPECTIONS

TARTING
ORK
Ensure that the surface of the load, in the location where the load lifting attachment is
applied, is free from grease, paint, contamination and scale and is not coated, so that
the clamps can make good contact with the surface of the load. This applies in
particular for grabs with protective lining (optional).
Check the fixed jaw and the clamping jaw for wear and defects. Both jaws must have
clean profiles.
The protective lining (optional) must be even and free of grease and oil. It must be
replaced when its remaining thickness is 2.5 mm or less.
The integrated torsion spring must press the clamping jaw against the workpiece in
unloaded condition.
Check the complete load lifting attachment for damage, cracks or deformations.
The load lifting attachment must open and close easily and freely.
During operation of the load lifting attachment it is essential to ensure that the chain is
not twisted and that it is guided in the return sprockets.
Load lifting attachment with protective lining up to 1.25 t (optional)
The protective lining must be replaced when the thickness is less than 2,5 mm.
Models with protective lining may be used at temperatures between -20 °C and +60 °C.
Checking the chain sling
Chain slings must be inspected at regular intervals in accordance with DIN 685-5. They
must in particular be replaced in the event of wear exceeding 10% of the nominal
thickness of the chain links.
Chain slings must be checked for outer defects, deformations, cracks, wear and pitting.
An elongated or worn chain must be replaced.

TTACHMENT
Attention: The chain sling must not be twisted and must be guided in the return
sprockets.
In order to be able to set down the load lifting attachment onto the metal plate, pull the
clamping jaw lever in the "Open" direction. The chain must then be unloaded. In this
position, slide the load lifting attachment onto the load until the load has fully entered
the mouth of the clamp. By releasing the lever on the clamping jaw, the jaw is released.
The spring pressure force firmly presses the clamping jaw against the load. This
ensures that the load lifting attachment remains clamped to the load precisely as a
result of the spring pressure force also without any pulling force. The load can now be
lifted and transported.
In order to remove the load lifting attachment from the load, lower the suspension (e.g.
hook, shackle, etc.) until the load lifting attachment is completely unloaded and the
chain moves freely.
After pulling the clamping jaw lever in the "Open" direction, the load lifting attachment
can be removed from the load.
Attention: When the pulled lever is released, the clamping jaw lashes back owing
to spring force (no lock). Therefore make sure that there are no limbs in the area
of the clamping jaw or the chain.
