1. 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 programme and for more details on maintenance procedures, please consult www.thecrosbygroup.com/resources/crosbyip-10-year- guarantee for more information.

Please read and understand these instructions before using the lifting clamp.

2. Safety precautions

It is not permitted to stay in the danger zone of the load. Ensure that the load remains on the ground when turning.

No changes may be made to CrosbyIP clamps. Never straighten, attempt to bend or heat treat parts. Clamps suited for stainless steel, must be used only for handling stainless steel, to avoid contact corrosion.

Proper instruction for the personnel is of vital importance. This will contribute to maximum reliability in the working environment.
I PVK clamps may be used per piece or with several simultaneously (with the support of a two-, three- or four way intersection) for the lifting of steel tight head drums. With each clamp one drum can be lifted.
When using just one IPVK clamp per drum, the drum will hang crooked and might get
damaged. To prevent the drum from damage or hanging crooked, it has to be lifted with two or three clamps. In this case do not lift more than one drum at the time.
Temperature: the operating temperature is between –40 ºC (–40 ºF) and 100 ºC (212 ºF). For other temperatures contact your CrosbyIP Customer Service Centre.
There are restrictions for operation in special atmospheres (e.g. high humidity, explosive, saline, acid, alkaline).
Loads: For proper application of the clamp consult the load diagrams 1.
Ensure that all attachments between lifting eye and crane are properly fitted, secured and
coupled.
When the crane hook or attachment is too large and/or too heavy, use properly sized CrosbyIP 5000 stinger assembly or a chain sling with D-shackle of 75 cm (30 inch), with a strength that corresponds to the W.L.L. of the clamp. This will, when setting the load down, prevent the hookfrom descending to far allowing the clamp to open under the weight of the hook, or, in the case of an unprotected crane hook, its descending from the lifting eye. When suspending the clamp directly on the secured crane hook attention must be given to ensuring that the crane hook can move freely in the lifting eye. Ensure that the crane hook and other material is protected.
Remark: when handling the load, one should ensure that the load and or clamp does not
encounter obstacles which could release the load on the clamps prematurely.
A clamp is a device that must be clean when used. Dirt has an adverse effect on the operation and also on the reliability of the clamp. When cleaning the clamp care should be taken to ensuring that moving parts are lubricated and the gripping surfaces are clean. Regular cleaning will enhance the life and reliability of the clamps.

3. Inspections protocols

Prior to every application of the clamp it is important the clamp operator inspects the clamp for proper functioning. Attention must be paid to the following (see illustration(s) 2 for part reference):

Ensure that the surface of the drum with which the clamp is to come into contact is free of scale, grease, oil, water, ice, moisture, dirt and coatings that might impede the contact with the drum.
Inspect camsegment (B) for wear and defects. The teeth must be sharp and free of dirt.
Check the body (N) en the jaw for damage, cracks or deformation (this may indicate
overloading).
Check the shackle (S), shafts (G & F) and clamping plate (V) for readily visible wear and/or damages.
Check the tension spring (M). This should, when pressing the camsegment (B), be under visible tension. By releasing the camsegment, it should return to its closed position without problems.
Check whether the W.L.L. and the jaw opening stamped on the body corresponds with the load to be lifted. When this is no longer readable, remove the clamp from operation.

The camsegment is the most critical part in the IPVK clamp and require extra attention during inspection. It is of great importance for your safety that the tooth is sharp (undamaged!) and free of dirt. If this is not the case, the camsegment will have a lesser grip under the edge of the drum, with all its consequences.

This type of clamp can also prone to deformation of the hole in which the chain (D-shackle) impinges, resulting in the hole becoming oval. Normally this cannot be seen, unless the clamp is being dismantled. However if you know or believe that this is the case, you should remove the clamp from service for careful inspection by an authorised repairer.

4. How to operate the clamp

IPVK clamps are solely suitable for the lifting and vertical transport of steel tight head drums (ISO 15750-2).
See illustrations 3 – 5 for part reference.

Place the jaw of the clamp over the edge over the drum so that the camsegement (B) is under the edge of the drum (3).
The clamp remains now in pretensioned position on the edge of the drum and is ready for the lift. The camsegment (B) is here being tightened under the edge of the drum (4).
During the descent of the drum, ensure that the drum will stand up straight again.
After the load is at its destination the clamp needs to be fully free of load. The shackle (S) must move freely (5).
Open the clamp by pressing the clamping plate down (V) while your are holding the body (N). The clamp can now be removed (5).
