SAGE F HE OAD IFTING TTACHMENT
The lifting gear on the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) is lowered so that the opened
clamps can be pushed onto the load until it has fully entered the mouth of the clamp. For this
purpose, the clamps must be arranged on the load in such a way that the assumed centre of
gravity of the load to be transported is perpendicular below the suspension eye of the lifting
gear.
By careful lifting, the clamping jaws or rollers are pressed against the load and it can be safely
moved. At the end of the transport operation, the suspension (e.g. hook, shackle, etc.) must
be lowered until the load lifting attachment is completely load-free and/or the suspension eye
can be moved freely. Now the clamping jaws can be lifted and the clamps can be removed
from the load.

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.
Initial operation and recurring inspections must be documented (e.g. in the CMCO works
certificate of compliance).
If required, the results of inspections and appropriate repairs must be verified.
Paint damage should be touched up in order to avoid corrosion. All joints and sliding surfaces
should be slightly lubricated. In the case of heavy contamination, the unit must be cleaned.
Repairs may only be carried out by specialist workshops that use original TIGRIP spare
parts.
After repairs have been carried out and after extended periods of non-use, the load lifting
attachment must be inspected again before it is put into service again.
The inspections have to be initiated by the operating company.
