Safety Instructions; Compulsory Inspections And Checks; Storage And Maintenance - Tractel PB05 0-100 Modo De Empleo

·
The technique of lifting by adherence which has to be used for this grab imposes on the user a
preliminary validation of the friction coefficient between the surface of the load and the clamping
jaws, this in order to guarantee the good reserve of the load during the use. Tractel Solutions can
assist you during this verification.
·
Use on various products with parallel sides only.
·
Never lift greasy products or loads with smooth surface (polished marble for instance), nor products
with protection that can easily be removed or damaged during lifting
·
When turning, make sure that the dimensions of the load and the gravity centre allow doing it
without risks for the operator and / or the load.
·
Make sure that the load is well balanced before lifting and horizontal and with no risk of hitting some
obstacle. For long loads, we suggest to use two PB grabs with a beam (see technical file T6010)

Never lift loads with dimensions that are smaller or bigger than the clamp's capacity (see technical
characteristics for more information)
