General
You have chosen a CrosbyIP lifting clamp.
CrosbyIP lifting clamps are the most reliable lifting clamps available. But using reliable tools does
not automatically mean that practices are reliable. The people who work with clamps play an
equally important role in reliable lifting. Ensure that everyone who works with CrosbyIP lifting
clamps has been instructed in the proper application of the clamps.
CrosbyIP provides a 10 year warranty for its clamps. To keep CrosbyIP lifting clamps in optimum
condition and keep warranty, regular maintenance is important. Preventive maintenance and repair
shall be carried by a repairer authorized by CrosbyIP. In order to benefit from this warranty pro-
gramme and for more details on maintenance procedures, please consult www.thecrosbygroup.
