ORRECT PERATION
The suspension is used for safely transporting single sheet metal plates or bundles of sheets.
It is always used in pairs in a lifting gear.
Any different or exceeding use is considered incorrect. Columbus McKinnon Industrial
Products GmbH will not accept any liability for damage resulting from such use. The risk is
borne by the user/operating company alone.
The suspension is suitable for all loads that can be fully entered into it and which are not
subject to excessive deflection during transport. The hooks must always be pushed under the
sheet metal plate or the bundle of sheets. For this purpose, select the position of the horizontal
lifting hooks so that the load is not moved to an inclined position or is tilted when lifted. The
load to be handled must positively rest on the legs of the load lifting attachment.
The load capacity indicated on the unit is the maximum working load limit (WLL) that may be
attached.
The load to be transported must be attached in such a way that inclination angle β is between
30° and 45°, i.e. is in line with the crank of the load lifting attachment.
Do not allow personnel to stay or pass under a suspended load.
A lifted or clamped load must not be left unattended or remain lifted or clamped for a longer
period of time.
The operator may start moving the load only after it has been attached correctly and all
persons are clear of the danger zone.
