1. General
You have chosen a CrosbyIP lifting clamp.
If CrosbyIP clamps are maintained as described in this manual, they will remain in
optimum condition. We believe that CrosbyIP clamps are the most reliable lifting
clamps available. But using reliable tools does not automatically mean that practices
are reliable. The people who work with clamps play an equally important role in reliable
lifting. Ensure that everyone who works with CrosbyIP lifting clamps has been
instructed in the proper application of the clamps.
Inter Product BV provides a 10 year warranty for its clamps. In order to benefit from this
warranty programme and for more details on maintenance procedures, please consult
www.crosbyip.com/warranty for more information.
Please read and understand these instructions before using the lifting clamp.
1.1 Safety precautions
„
Proper instruction for the personnel is of vital importance. This will contribute to
maximum reliability in the working environment.
„
IPSTARTEC11 clamps may be applied per piece, per set or with several clamps
simultaneously for the lifting of steel beams and profiles. Ensure that each clamp
receives its proportionate share of the load. When using two clamps or more a
spreader beam is recommended.
„
Hardness: With the standard clamps it is possible to lift steel with a surface
hardness of 363 HV10. For harder steel types contact your CrosbyIP Customer
Service Centre.
„
Temperature: The standard lifting clamps may be used with temperatures that lie
between 100 ºC (212 ºF) and -40 ºC (-40 ºF). For other temperatures contact your
CrosbyIP Customer Service Centre.
„
There are restrictions for operation in special atmospheres (e.g. high humidity,
explosive, saline, acid, alkaline).
„
Loads: For proper application of the clamp consult the load diagrams 1.
„
Ensure that all attachments between lifting eye and crane are properly fitted,
secured and coupled.
„
During the descent of the load there may be no obstacles present under the load
that can impede the load causing a clamp to be unloaded. The clamps may only
release the load when it is in a stable position.
„
IPSTARTEC11 clamps are also suitable for profiles that are out of the HEA- and
IPE clamp range. In these cases it may cost more effort to tilt the beam into the
right position. During the lift it may happen that the flanges of the beam will not
hang in a clear horizontal position. Ensure that you never exceed the thickness of
flange and that the pivot always stays in full grip contact with the profile.
Check when
placing the clamp
that slings are
not twisted.
It is not permitted
to stay in the
danger zone of
the load.
No changes may
be made to
CrosbyIP clamps.
Never straighten,
attempt to bend
or heat treat
parts.
Clamps suited for
stainless steel,
must be used
only for handling
stainless steel, to
avoid contact
corrosion.
