1.3 How to operate the clamp
The IPBK lifting clamps are suitable for the lifting, stacking and transport of steel
beams and profiles of which the web must be kept in a horizontal position.
See illustrations 3 to 7 for part reference.
1. Open the clamp by pulling the latch lever (A) into the direction of the arrow (3).
2. Place the clamp on the beam and exercise pressure, so that the jaw of the clamp
as far as possible over flange of the beam (4).
3. Pull the latch lever (A) towards the lifting eye (D). The clamp will now close and will
remain on the plate in pretensioned position, allowing lifting to commence (5).
4. As soon as the load is at its destination let the crane hook descend until the clamp
is fully free of load, meaning that the lifting chain is no longer taut and the lifting
eye (D) of the clamp can move freely. To release the load pull the latch lever (A)
towards the jaw, allowing the clamp to be and remain opened (6).
5. The clamp may now be used again immediately or put away in opened position.
This position will protect the teeth from damage (7).
