Hoisting - Terrier TSCC Gebrauchsanleitung

TEMPERATURE
The operating temperature of the Terrier TSCC lifting clamps lies between –40°C (-40 °F) and
100°C (212 °F) . Please consult with your dealer if other ambient temperatures are applied.
AVOID LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS
- Avoid life threatening situations at work by complying with the following
recommendations.
- Never work with a clamp which has not been approved.
- Keep a safe distance during lifting work and never walk or stand under the load.
- Do not use the clamp if it is damaged or has been damaged.
- Always have a damaged clamp immediately repaired by Terrier Lifting Clamps B.V. or
another authorised revision company.
- Never lift more than one sheet simultaneously.
- Never lift sheeting which is heavier than the safe working load (WLL) given on the
clamp, in the certificate and in the table.
- Never lift sheeting which is thicker or thinner than the jaw opening (as given on the
clamp and in the certificate).
- When using a number of lifting clamps opposite each other, make sure the hoisting
belts or chains are long enough.
- Clean the area where the clamp is to be attached, removing any grease, oil, dirt, corro-
sion and mill scale.
- Make sure the clamp (or clamps) is (are) attached in such a way that the load is balanced
during lifting.
- The sheeting surface must not be harder than 37 HrC (345 Hb, 1166 N/mm2).
- All clamps may only be used under normal atmospheric conditions.
WARNING
- A free fall or uncontrolled swinging on the crane hook whereby there is contact with
objects can damage the clamp. Should this occur, the clamp must first be thoroughly
inspected before further use.
- Lifting clamps are not suitable as a form of permanent link.
- The clamp must be inspected monthly, see Section 6 - Maintenance.
- Do not make any constructional modifications to the clamp (welding, grinding, etc.),
as such modifications may negatively affect its operation and safety. If any such
modifications are made, all forms of warranty and product liability become invalid.
- The warranty and liability conditions also only apply when original Terrier components
are used.

HOISTING

- Check whether the safe working load (WLL) of the clamp is sufficient for the force
exerted in the hoisting situation.
- Attach the lifting clamp to the hoisting equipment:
- directly on a crane hook with safety securing device,
- by means of a chain shackle or D shackle,
- by means of a belt or chain possibly in combination with a chain shackle or D shackle.
- Make sure all attachment devices are approved and are of the correct tonnage. All the
attachment links and securing devices must be sufficiently large, so that the clamp can
move freely in the hook.
- Check that the clamp has no visible damage.
- Check that the clamp opens and closes easily.
