The clamp is fitted with two latches (A and B, A = blue, B = yellow) which ensures a safe process

of lifting, turning and vertical transfer of the plate.

Fig. 2 shows the position of the latches (A and B) in closed position, being the proper position for

the lifting process to be carried out. In this position a preload is enacted by the safety latches (A

and B) onto the material to be lifted.

Fig. 3 shows the position of the latches (A and B) in opened position. The latches (A and B) have

to be brought into this position before removal of the lifting clamp from the plate.

1. When lifting from vertical position: Place the clamp in open position (3) correctly and straight

over the plate so that the jaw of the clamp is resting on the plate completely (E).

2. When lifting from horizontal position: The wedge or pressure pad (W) (4) must be positioned at

the lower side of the plate. The clamp must be clear of the ground and be able to move freely.

3. Before locking the clamp one should make sure that the clamp can move freely in order to

enable the wedge or pressure pad (W) (5) to fill up all open space in the jaw completely.

4. Now move the yellow latch (B) towards the hoisting eye (D) (see arrow J) (5). Make sure once

again that the wedge or pressure pad (W) can freely shut itself. The clamp is locked now and

is positioned on the plate unengaged. Now pull the blue latch (A) over towards the hoisting eye

(D) (see arrow H) (6).

5. The clamp is now in a preload position, after which one may commence the lifting process.

During the lifting process make sure that the plate remains steady und upright. An equalizing

beam with two clamps is possibly the right solution in this case.

6. After completing the lift, lower the crane hook far enough for the lifting chain to slacken and the

lifting eye (D) of the clamp can be moved freely. First pull the large blue latch (A) towards the jaw

completely (arrow H) (3), the hoisting eye (D) now sinks into the clamp. If necessary apply some

pressure. Now pull over the small yellow latch (B) towards the jaw (arrow J) (3). This is done

easily by holding the clamp with one hand while applying counter pressure and moving the

clamp somewhat, while pulling back the small yellow latch (B) with the other hand.

7. The clamp may now be used again immediately or put away in opened or closed position.

A reliable clamp, a secure basis for lifting
