SAGE F HE OAD IFTING TTACHMENT
Push the load lifting attachment – with the spindle wide open – with its mouth up to the stop
onto the load and tighten the thread spindle by hand. The clamp must not be applied in a
skewed position to the load.
Owing to the pad mounted on a pivot bearing, the load is jammed in the clamp as soon as the
load lifting attachment is lifted. This results in a high clamping force.
Make sure that when depositing the load, there is enough space for freely turning the thread
spindle. In order to remove the load lifting attachment from the load after the transport
process, travel the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) downwards until it is unloaded and
the shackle moves freely.

NSPECTION ERVICE
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations hoisting
equipment 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.
Repair or replacement of the worn components is absolutely necessary, if damage is visible.
The screw clamp must no longer be used in the case of wear on the ball or the ball socket.
Wear is checked by pressing the clamping pad into the housing until reaching the stop and by
testing for smooth, even moving of the ball with circling movements of the clamping pad.
Repairs may only be carried out by specialist workshops that use original TIGRIP spare
parts.
After repairs have been carried out and after extended periods of non-use, the load lifting
attachment must be inspected again before it is put into service again.
The inspections have to be initiated by the operating company.
