NSPECTIONS
Ensure that the surface of the load, in the location where the load lifting attachment is applied,
is free from grease, paint, contamination and scale and is not coated, so that the clamps can
make good contact with the surface of the load.
Check the housing and jaw for wear and deformation.
The fold of the barrel to be transported must be perfect and have a distinct shape. It must not
be worn down, worn or deformed.
Check the complete load lifting attachment for damage, cracks or deformations.
The load lifting attachment must open and close easily and freely.
U O T
SAGE F HE
Lower the barrel clamp suspended in the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) until it can be
easily handled and clamped onto the rim of the barrel to be transported. For this purpose
place the barrel clamp with its mouth pointing vertically downwards onto the rim of the barrel
and slide it further onto the barrel rim against the resistance of the spring-supported jaw. The
jaw reaches under the rim of the barrel. Owing to the spring pressure force, unintended
opening or slipping of the clamp on the barrel is prevented. When the suspension (e.g. hook,
shackle, etc.) is lifted, the clamping lever with suspension eye locks the jaw which ensures
safe transport.
After the transport operation, the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) is lowered until the eye
of the barrel clamp is completely load-free in the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) and/or
the lifting gear can be moved. The clamp can be removed from the barrel by pressing the
suspension eye down and lifting the clamp housing at the same time.

NSPECTION ERVICE
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations hoisting
equipment 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.
