Use of the spreader bar with 2 (3) suction plates
!
When using the spreader bar with 2 suction plates only suction plates of the same design (carrying
capacity, dimensions and form) may be used!
The suction plates must always have the
same
distance (A) to the vertical centre axis of the spreader bar
(see figure 1).
Unequal positioning of the suction plates is not permitted (see figure 2)!
Take care that the load (stone slab) hangs always
horizontal
