4.2 Authorised Intended use
The lifting device is used solely to lift and turn loads
according to the charts of usage and materials and
must only be used for the operations mentioned in the
chart of usage.
The load surface must be dry and clean, i. e. free of
dirt, mill scale, grease, ice, snow, coatings such as
paintings etc.
The maximum load capacity is to be found on the type
plate. Never exeed the load capacity. Consider attach-
ment and inclination angles, as these may cause a
reduction in the carrying capacity.
The maximum load dimensions are to be found on the
type plate. The gripping range mentioned states the
admissible minimum and maximum thickness of the
load at the attachment point. The lifting device must
not be used for any other dimensions! Consider the
minimum load weight in the chart of usage!
The lifting device is attached to the crane hook by
means of the suspension eye and a chain sling. The
load is taken up the gripping elements in case of lifting
clamps, in case of grabs by the gripping legs.
Lifting clamps with serrated gripping elements penetrate
into the material and leave marks on the load surface.
Lifting clamps with smooth gripping elements work
without penetrating into the load.
The lifting device can be used at a crane in a hall.
