Authorized use
The device (FTZ-UNI-15) is universal usable for gripping and moving customary prefabricated concrete products, with clean
gripping surface; like steps, kerbs (also natural kerbs), as well as "Kassler Bord" (Bus- and Train-profil-stones) and so on.
Connected with lifting equipment e.g. a excavator or a crane.
ATTENTION: The use of this device is only permitted in proximity to the ground (→ chapter "Safety at
work").
Only stone elements with parallel and plane surface are allowed to be picked-up and handled.
Because the gripping good could fall down.
NOT ALLOWED ACTIVITIES:
Unauthorized alterations of the device and the use of any self-made additional equipment could cause
danger and are therefore forbidden!
Never exceed the carrying capacity/working load limit (WLL) and the nominal width/gripping range of the
device.
All unauthorized transports with the device are strictly prohibited:
•
The transport of people and animals.
•
The gripping and transporting of other loads and materials than
described in this operating instruction.
•
Never suspend any goods with ropes, chains or similar at the
device, except at the designated lifting eyes/-bolts.
•
Gripping of gripping goods with packaging foil, because they
could fall down.
•
The gripping of gripping goods with treated surfaces (such as
painting/varnish, coating or the like), because they could fall
down. Treated surfaces lead to a reduction in the coefficient of
friction between the grippers and the gripping good.
•
The gripping and transporting of non-rectangular and round
gripping goods, because they could fall down (see figure to the
right). ➔
•
Transportation of material with "feet", "bellies" and "blind
spacers".
