Safety Precautions; Lifting - Terrier TS Gebrauchsanleitung

- When using a number of lifting clamps at the same time, provide lifting slings or
chains of a sufficient length to ensure that the angle between the slings or chains
never exceeds 60 degrees.
- When simultaneously operating a number of lifting clamps time side by side use
a lifting beam (equalizer) and lifting slings or chains of sufficient length to ensure
that the lifting shackles on the clamps are never subjected to lateral load.
- Do not place the clamp on tapered or conical shaped sections of the plate or
structure to be lifted.
- Remove all grease, oil, dirt, corrosion and mill scale from the plate at the point
where the clamp is to be attached.
- The surface hardness of the plate must not exceed 37 HrC (345 Hb, 1166 N/mm
With regard to the TSU-R lifting clamp please notice that the surface hardness of
the plate must not exceed 30 HrC(283 Hb, 945 N/mm
- The clamp is only suitable for use in normal atmospheric conditions.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

- As far as applicable, make sure that the lifting shackle or MP fork is never subject-
ed to lateral load.
- A free-fall or uncontrolled swaying at the crane hook resulting in objects being
struck may cause damage to the clamp. If this happens check whether the clamp
is in good working order before using it.
- Lifting clamps are not suitable for creating permanent joints.
- The clamp should be subjected to a regular maintenance interval on a monthly
basis; see Chapter 6 - Maintenance.
- Do not modify the clamp (by welding, grinding, etc.), as this can adversely affect its
operation and safety, thereby nullifying any forms of guarantee and product
liability.
- For this reason, only make use of genuine Terrier components!
- Any improper use of the clamp and/or failure to observe any directions and
warnings in these operating instructions concerning the use of this product may
endanger the health of the user and/or bystanders.
Special note for TS-R/TSE-R/TSU-R/TSEU-R lifting clamp owners
- Use the for TS-R/TSE-R/TSU-R/TSEU-R lifting clamps solely for lifting stainless steel
plates and structures.
- In spite of the considerable mechanical strength of the coating, the clamp must
be handled with extreme care! Possible damage due to impacts such as knocks,
falls, etc. must be avoided.

LIFTING

- Verify whether the working load limit (W.L.L.) of the clamp is sufficient for the
load crea-ted in the lifting situation.
- Attach the lifting clamp to the hoisting mechanism:
- directly to a crane hook by means of a safety shackle,
- by means of a coupling link or D-type shackle,
- by means of a sling or chain, if necessary, in conjunction with a coupling link or
D-typeshackle.
- Ensure that all attachments have been tested and are of the correct tonnage.
Make sure that coupling links and shackles are large enough to allow the clamp
to move freely in the hook.
