The device Cone Insert Clamp (KIG) is only suitable for symmetrical and asymmetrical cones.
Take care that the working load limit and the gripping range of the device is not exceeded.
This device is especially designed for heavy-duty work with fork lift trucks or cranes.
The gripping goods (cones) have to be cured enough to resist the necessary gripping force of the device.
This device is series equipped with the
Lifting of damaged gripping goods (cones) with the device is forbidden!
The device may not be used for lifting or pulling of seized gripping goods (cones)!
Only sufficiently hardened cones, which are free from cracks, may be transported.
Otherwise the load or parts of the load could fall down!
Permissible gripping range: 625 – 800 mm (24½´´ – 31½´´)
Working load limit (WLL): 2000 kg (4400 lbs)
ATTENTION: The use of this device is only permitted in proximity to the ground (→ chapter "Safety at
work").
NOT ALLOWED ACTIVITIES:
Unauthorized alterations of the device and the use of any self-made additional equipment could cause
