Suspensions for special tasks
Special-purpose lifting attachments mediate between crane devices, such as overhead crane is jib crane, and transported loads. Various types of grippers, slings and handles are available in the offer.
We don’t need any UDT certificates to support them. For more information, see the preceding article. belt slings.
Each of the suspensions listed below has a specific task to perform. Where and where they will be used depends only on the characteristics of the company and the cargo to be transported.
Sheet metal holder
We can distinguish between two types of handles. Available models are:
In both examples, handles are used for the transport of sheet metal and other similar shape components weighing up to 3 000 kg. The models are equipped with tempered steel jaws. In the case of vertical transport, it is possible thanks to a spring clamping mechanism. On the other hand, horizontal transport handles are equipped with self-tipped languages.
Sheet metal holders can work together with a chain sling and a single-strand rope sling.
The model for transporting the sheets vertically bends in one plane.
In the case of horizontal handles, the device must work in pairs.This is important, not only because of operator safety but also because of the transferred load, which is protected from bending.
Magnetic catchers for sheet metal
As the name itself suggests, magnetic gripper is used to lift and transport steel sheets and materials. Thanks to its low own weight and compact construction, it is comfortable and easy to use.
The biggest advantage of magnetic grippers is that no power is required, whether external or internal. The magnetic field is produced by sintered neodymium magnets of the latest generation. To enable and disable the magnetic field, simply move the hand lever.
Of course, when choosing a magnetic gripper you should pay attention to what is raised. The actual load depends on the thickness and shape of the load and will be halved for e.g. rods or rollers (cylinder elements). The offer of the store includes grippers with a load capacity of 100 and 1,000 kg.
Clamping suspensions
Clamping suspensions is an alternative to mobile trucks intended for hoists.
This applies when the hoist is to work โon rigidityโ, i.e. when it is not to move along the beam. In this case, the best solution is to place the hoist on a bolted Roman buckle.
The great advantage of the buckle slings is their quick installation for construction and telecommunications profiles and low own weight – with impressive lifting loads up to 5 tonnes.
Such suspensions are very helpful in the assembly work both horizontally and vertically, and if we reverse them can be used as shape holders.
Cable blocks
Cable blocks are used, among other things, to suspend loads using a tug sling. They are a point of attachment for different devices with a support rope. It is used anywhere where increased strength and lifting and drag load are needed. They serve the operator when it is necessary to change the direction of lifting and drag and when it is necessary to increase the force with which these operations are to be performed.
The support for cable blocks is simple and intuitive. Putting a rope on the block is done by unhooking one of the sides. The type of tilting cable block does not require the user to put the rope behind any of the ends.
Self-leveling forks
With the help of forks, it is possible to transport palletised cargo in all types of production facilities and warehouses, regardless of what the company actually does.
Forkbeards We attach to the hook of the hoist suspended on the crane, crane or lift. They are equipped with a manoeuvring chain that allows the operator to control the suspension.
The self-leveling pallet fork holder is in many cases a sufficient and, above all, much cheaper alternative to standard forklifts.
It is possible to adjust to the carried load thanks to options for egulating the height of the suspension and spacing of their forks.
