Shackled Cheek Plates
The cheek plate with shackle pull point offers a
mechanical aid to move the load along the beam
in a control manner.
A chain block is required for this operation with a
minimum capacity of 250kg.
Notes for Correct Operation
Ensure the chain block is attached to the
shackle on the cheek plate, and on the master
link of the trolley.
The movement of the load should be from the
center of the beam to the A-frame where the
chain block is attached.
The load chain will allow for the movement of
the trolley, controlled by the operator using the
hand chain on the block.
