Use of TI Clamps

Semi-automatic TI:

• Positioning: suspend the grab in its open position by its ring (1) (locking pawl (2) activated).
• For lifting: present the grab vertically to the product to be lifted.
• Lower the grab until it is applied against the product to be lifted.
• Swivel the locking pawl (2) manually whilst starting off the lifting, hold it in the up position to prevent it from locking against the fastening screw (3).
• Release the locking pawl (2) making sure its claw is well above the fastening screw (3) and perform lifting.
• When laying the product down, bring down the grab until the locking pawl automatically locks (2) onto the fastening screw (3).
• The grab is locked in the open position. It can be lifted up again ready to be used again.

Automatic TI:

• Positioning: suspend the grab in the open position by its ring (1) (control lever (4) activated).
• For lifting: position the grab vertically with respect to the product to be lifted.
• Lower the grab until it is applied against the product to be lifted.
• Next lift the grab back up: its automatic system unlocks. Lifting can be performed.
• When laying the product down, lower the grab until the locking system is automatically activated (4+5).
• The grab is then locked in the open position: it can be lifted up ready to be used again.
