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.
