3.1 Authorized use
The device RG-100/150-SAFELOCK is used exclusively for gripping, transporting and laying concrete pipes with an
outside diameter from 970 mm to 1530 mm (according to DIN EN 1916, DIN V1201 and DIN 640).
The device is equipped with a suspension eye for various lifting tackle and can therefore be attached to a carrier
(e.g. excavator).
1) SAFELOCK: When lifting the product, the device generates tension on the pipe, which is maintained even when
the product (concrete pipe) is set down.
This is achieved by internal interlocking, which is released only if the operator of the carrier deliberately initiates it.
These internal interlocking releases after the final positioning (of the gripping good) by moving of the crane eye in a
setting (in lock-in-position "idle stroke"). This allows operation with only one person (e.g excavator operator).
The SAFELOCK-safety catch prevents that the clamping force decreases by so-called „slack rope", when the already
gripped concrete pipe got caught e.g. on a ditch and thereby the gripping good could slip out of the device. Exact
sequence see chapter "Operation".
