USAGE OF THE LOAD LIFTING
ATTACHMENT
The load lifting attachment suspended in
the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) is
lowered centrally above the box pallet until
the operator can easily guide the unit by hand.
With the latching brackets slewed up, the two
fi xed hooks are placed under the frame on
the side of the box pallet to be transported
until reaching the mouth stop so that the load
centre of gravity of the box pallet is exactly
below the suspension eye. By pressing down
the hook bracket, the load lifting attachment
is closed. Make sure that the moving hooks
grip into the openings exactly opposite the
fi xed hooks.
Lift the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.)
slowly and carefully to check whether the load
lifting attachment with the picked up load
moves to an impermissible position at an angle
of more than 6° during transport.
After completion of the transport operation,
lower the load lifting attachment until the load
lifting attachment is completely unloaded. In
this condition, the hook bracket can be slewed
up against the spring force and the load lifting
attachment can be lifted off the load.

INSPECTION / MAINTENANCE

According to national and international ac-
cident prevention and safety regulations load
lifting attachments 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 a
specialist workshop that uses 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 dam-
age, wear, corrosion or any other alterations.
Initial operation and recurring inspections
must be documented (e.g. in the CMCO works
certifi cate of compliance).
If required, the results of inspections and ap-
propriate repairs must be verifi ed.
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.
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.
