Tractel TOPAL TLH1 0-60 Modo De Empleo página 8

TLH/TLR/TLC: push up the lever (2) TLH/(3) TLR manually to insert the plate and drive it home
into the throat of the clamp.
Position TLC clamps thanks to the handle (7).
4) When using in multiples of 2 : make sure the lifting beam is correctly adjusted.
5) Check all clamps are correctly positioned (see sketch) and then perform lifting.
6) To release the clamps: lay the load down stable and take off clamps manually.
 Make sure plates are always driven home into the throat of the clamps.
 The plates must be rigid enough not to bend while lifting operations are led.
 Adhere to the recommended sling angles: 45 to 60° for TLH/ TLR ; 45 to 90° for TLC.
 Make sure to line up the slings on the same plane as the clamps.
 TLC: make sure the sole (8) and the slide (2) are flat on the load.
 TLH/TLR: do not use in case of very long thin plates.
 TLR: make sure the lever (3) of each clamp presses down onto the top of the plates to be
lifted, if not, using the bolts (4/6) and adjusting pin (5), move each lever (3) one or several
holes along.
 Working temperature: -20°C to +100°C.
Simple (QS) or double (QR/ QX) hooks for lifting horizontal plates individually or in bundles.
QX: also enable the separation of horizontal piled plates.
QS: use in 4s with lifting beam and 2-legged slings.
QR: use in pairs and 1 4-legged sling.
QX: use in pairs and 1 2-legged sling.
1) Suspend the sling(s) previously fitted with the hooks.
2) Make sure there is clearance under the load to position the hooks.
3) Insert the hooks under the load making sure they are lined up and centered in relation with the
load centre of gravity (balanced load). The load should be driven home into the throat of the
hooks.
4) Perform a first lifting operation so as to ensure the hooks are well inserted and that the load is
well positioned.
5) Set down again if necessary so as to adjust the hooks' positioning.
6) Perform lifting.
QX: separating plates function
a) Insert the pointed end of the hook into the plates' joint.
b) Separate one sheet from the others slowly.
c) Insert a wedge under the load taken off and then set down again.
d) Repeat the operation on the opposite side so as to enable the lifting.
 Make sure plates are always driven home into the throat of the hooks.
 The plates must be rigid enough not to bend while lifting operations are led.
 Adhere to the recommended sling angles : 50 to 60°.
 Considering the load length and weight, use 1 or several pairs of hooks to perform lifting.
 QX: load mini width : 390 mm.
 QS/QR: do not permit separating plates.
 QX: do not use for separating fragile sheets (risk of load damage); separate only 1 sheet at
once.
 For safety's sake, never leave hooks on the floor, pointed end upwards, when not in use.
 Working temperature: -20°C to +100°C.
Lever for separating manually horizontal sheet bundles.
1) Allow a wedge near the operating place.
