RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION
Record the condition of the lifter before putting it into regular service. Measure the length and width
of the lifting bale. Record your measurements. Thoroughly photograph the unit from multiple angles.
Include close range photos of all labeling, the lifting bale, the base plate (floor), snap hooks and snap
hook attachment points, ratchet straps and attachment hardware (pins, bolts, nuts, etc.), and welds.
Collate all photographs and writings into a single file. Mark the file appropriately to identify it. This
record is documentation of the lifter in satisfactory condition. Compare the results of all inspections to
this record to determine whether the unit is in satisfactory condition. If the lifter is not in satisfactory
condition, repair it before returning it to service. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged
paint/powdercoat, do not constitute changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should
be applied to all affected areas as soon as cosmetic damage occurs to prevent rusting and corrosion. If
left unaddressed, rusting/corrosion will alter the lifter from satisfactory condition and could make it
unsafe to use.
LOAD TESTS
After creating a RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION and b efore using the lifter for the first
time, a qualified person should conduct a load test. The test load should be 125% of the rated load of
the lifter. The rated load of all CYL-P-LUG lifters is 800 pounds (363.6kg), so the test load should be
1000 pounds (454.5kg). Raise the lifter until it is suspended. Return the lifter to the ground and unload
it. Perform a
Monthly Inspection
as described in
INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
(below). The
lifter must undergo load testing immediately after it is repaired, modified, or altered.
INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections and maintenance are essential. Always inspect and maintain this
product in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
Inspection procedures are included in the most current revision of ASME B30.20. As stated above in
the NATIONAL STANDARDS section, Vestil recommends that you acquire a copy of the most recent
revision of this standard. Apply all use and maintenance/care instructions in the standard. Vestil also
recommends that you contact your local occupational safety and health authority to determine if any
laws, regulations, codes, ordinances, etc. apply inspection requirements to below-the-hook lifters.
Inspections and repairs should be performed by qualified persons. Compare the results of each
inspection to the RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION . Do not use the lifter unless all parts are
in satisfactory condition. Replace all parts that are not in satisfactory condition before using the lifter
again. DON’T GUESS! If you have any questions about the condition of your lifter, contact the
TECHNICAL SERVICE department. The phone number is provided on the cover page of this manual.
Never make temporary repairs of damaged or missing parts . Only use manufacturer-approved
replacement parts to restore the lifter to satisfactory condition.
Every lift
The operator of the lifter must inspect the lifter and cylinder surfaces before every lift. Check the lifter
and all cylinders for dirt or other surface debris. Clean the surfaces.
Monthly Inspections – At least once per month a qualified person must perform the following
inspections. Written reports should be prepared for every monthly inspection including inspections
following LOAD TESTS .
1. Fasteners: Examine hardware & fasteners, including but not limited to bolts, nuts, and pins. Replace
damaged, worn, or corroded hardware.
2. Frame elements: Examine all frame elements for deformation, cracks, excessive wear,
corrosion/rusting, and metal fatigue. Pay particular attention to the lifting bale. Measure its length
and width. Compare the measurements to the measurements in your RECORD . Examine the whole
structure for severe rusting/metal erosion, rot, thinned regions. If rusting is purely superficial, remove
the rust/corrosion with a steel bristle brush or steel wool. Clean the affected area and apply touchup
paint. If rusting, rot, or thinning has weakened the material, contact technical service for advice.
3.
Snap hooks and chains:
Examine the chains and snap hooks. Hooks should not be bent, cracked,
twisted, or otherwise deformed. Latches should automatically close. Chain links should not be
damaged, e.g. bent, cracked, or stretched.
