EFORE
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations load lifting
attachmentt must be inspected:
• in accordance with the risk assessment of the operating company,
• prior to initial operation,
• before the unit is put into service again following a shut down
• after substantial changes,
• however, at least once per year, by a competent person.
Attention: Actual operating conditions (e.g. operation in galvanizing facilities) can
dictate shorter inspection intervals.
Repair work may only be carried out by specialist workshops that use original TIGRIP spare
parts. The inspection (mainly consisting of a visual inspection and a function check) must
determine that all safety devices are complete and fully operational and cover the condition of
the unit, suspension, equipment and supporting structure with regard to damage, wear,
corrosion or any other alterations.
Initial operation and recurring inspections must be documented (e.g. in the CMCO works
certificate of compliance).
If required, the results of inspections and appropriate repairs must be verified.
Paint damage should be touched up in order to avoid corrosion. All joints and sliding surfaces
should be slightly lubricated. In the case of heavy contamination, the unit must be cleaned.

Open the trench shield grab and slide it onto the trench shield to be transported until it is
possible to insert the retaining pin through the transport bore hole of the shield. The retaining
pin is pushed through the trench shield into its outer support by pressing the unlatching lever
back.
The trench shield can now be carefully lifted and transported.
Attention: The load lifting attachment must not be guided on the unlatching lever when
loaded. The transported trench shield could be disengaged!
Attention: The rope must be free and must not hinder or injure any persons during
transport or be caught by an obstacle.
