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.

It is not permitted to stay in the danger zone of the load. 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.

Safety precautions

Proper instruction for the personnel is of vital importance. This will contribute to maximum reliability in the working environment.
IPDV clamps may be used per piece for the lifting of steel tight head drums. With each clamp one drum can be lifted.
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.
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.

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.
Check the body (N) en the jaw for damage, cracks or deformation (this may indicate overloading).
Check the lifting eye (D) and the lifting eye shaft (H) for deformation.
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.

How to operate the clamp

IPDV 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 clamp in open position over the edge over the drum (3).
Close the clamp by pulling the lifting eye (D) upwards (see arrow P). The clamp remains in locked position on the drum and is ready for use (4).
As soon as the load is at its destination let the crane hook descend until the clamp is fully free of load, meaning that the lifting chain is no longer taut and the lifting eye (D) of the clamp can move freely (5).
Open the clamp by pulling up the grip (X). The clamp can now be removed (5).
