CONSTRUCTION PLANT LTD V-/Vyl>l II—ll I U Chain Clamp spec, sheet Safety check list Under Separate cover: Individual Test Certificate Pre-Despatch Examination Certificate if test certificate is older than 6 months old.

SPEC SHEET For all lifting applications. The unit indexes along the links of the chain and locks into place giving a quick and simple chain lock for lifting. Part Number Chain Type Safe Working load

DAWSON ppATI IRFQ SWLof 2000 kg for the 8mm Chain Clamp and 3200 kg for the 10mm Chain Clamp. Robust high strength steel body. Designed to withstand vibration - no screws or bolts! Minimal parts for durability. Proof loading to twice the safe working load, and CE marked. Quick coupling and release from load.

METHOD OF OPERATION Conrm that the load being lifted is suitable. It must have a lifting hole of 40mm diameter. The SWL of all lifting equipment must be observed. Insert the lifting chain correctly (no twists, knots etc) through the lifting hole in the load and secure with the chain clamp. To slide the Chain Clamp along the chain, depress the trapping pin assembly by hand. When the Chain Clamp is in the desired position, release the trapping pin, locking the chain clamp in position. Saftety Notes: Ensure the chain type is the correct size for the chain clamp. 8mm chain for the 8mm Chain...

EXTRA NOTE FOR VIBRATORY SHEET PILE DRIVING USE Pile Installation Check which way around the pile has to be lifted before inserting the lifting chain – was the previous pile pitched left or right handed? Insert the lifting chain correctly (no twists, knots etc) through the lifting hole in the pile and secure with the chain clamp. Allow enough free chain length for the pile to rotate to vertical during the lifting process without jamming against the underside of the clamp body. If this happens the chain will be overloaded, may subsequently break and allow the pile to fall – this is a sever...

SAFETY CHECK LIST 1. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS Prior to installing a Chain Clamp onto any steelwork, check the following:a. Establish the weight of the lift involved and check against the SWL of the equipment. b. Ensure the lifting hole is at the correct distance relative to the top of the load. c. The Safe Working Load rating of is based on a purely tensile (vertical) load. 2. Do not modify the Chain Clamp or any part of the lifting apparatus. Keep the burning torch well clear! 3. Keep the mechanism well lubricated with a light oil (WD40 type). 4. The Chain Clamp should be visually inspected...

DAWSON TRAINING Before allowing operators to use the Chain Clamp, it is important to ensure they have received basic training in lifting and control of heavy It is strongly recommended that the following areas are covered: 1. Basic safety in lifting operations 2. Supervision during lifting operations 3. Instruction on how the Chain Clamp works

MAINTENANCE The Chain Clamp is manufactured from high quality material and assembled in a manner designed to offer long service with a minimum of maintenance. In order to preserve the product in this state, it is necessary to ensure that it is not mis-used or used for purposes outside its recommended use and to carry out regular inspection and servicing. Regular checking that the product has not been distorted due to overload and that the mechanism operates smoothly throughout its travel. The mechanism should be operable in the palm of the user’s hand, and should return under spring...
