Description and Intended Use

THIELE lifting points screw-type are intended for attachment to steel,
aluminum or non-ferrous metal structures and components.
Sling chains according to EN 818-4 or lashing chains according to EN 12195
may be used.
These Operating Instructions show the safety use of THIELE lifting points of
the following executions:
TWN 0121/1 Lifting points, rotabable, with slide bearing
•
TWN 0122 Lifting points
•
TWN 0123 Lifting points
•
TWN 0127 Lifting points MDB
•
TWN 1120 TITAN Lifting points, rotabable, with slide bearing
•
TWN 1830 X-TREME Lifting points, rotabable, with ball bearing
•
TWN 1890 Lifting points XS-Point, rotabable
•
(TWN = THIELE workshop standard)
THIELE lifting points meet EG Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG requirements
and feature a safety factor of at least 4 based on WLL.
THIELE lifting points are signed with the CE symbol.
They are also signed with the Working Load Limit (WLL) in tons or the chain
size, manufacturers mark (stamp 'H4') and identification number.
THIELE lifting points are designed to withstand 20,000 dynamic load changes
under maximum load conditions. In the event of higher loads (e.g. multi-
shift/automatic operation, magnetic spreaders) the WLL must be reduced.
Lifting points must exclusively be used
within the limits of their permissible working load limit,
•
within the temperature limits prescribed,
•
with suitable screws (see screw data) and fitted directly to the component.
•
The Working Load Limit of different modes of assembly can be seen in the
load table.
THIELE lifting points are normally not intended for the transportation of
persons.
Turning and rotating loads
TWN 0121/1 Turning allowed, rotating not allowed.
•
TWN 0122 Turning allowed, rotating not allowed.
•
TWN 0123 No turning and/or rotating allowed.
•
TWN 0127 Turning allowed, rotating not allowed.
•
TWN 1120 Turning allowed, rotating not allowed.
•
TWN 1830 Turning and rotating allowed.
•
TWN 1890 Turning allowed, rotating not allowed.
•
This classification relates to occasionally turning or rotating loads.
Continous or long-term turning or rotating is not allowed.
Using the lifting points exclusively for lashing the maximum lashing capacity is
calculated by doubling the Working Load Limit.
An alternating use for lifting and lashing is not allowed.

Safety Notes

Never walk or stay under lifted loads!
Make sure to use hoisting/attachment
means free from defects.
• Operators, fitters, and maintenance personnel must in particular observe the
Operating Instructions also from the used sling chain assemblies,
documentations DGUV V 1, DGUV R 100-500 Chapter 2.8 and DGUV I 209-
013 issued by the German Employers' Liability Insurance Association, as
well as the Operating Instructions of the loads concerning advise for lifting.
• In the Federal Republic of Germany, the Operational Safety Ordinance
(BetrSichV) has to be implemented and the Technical Rule for Industrial
Safety TRBS 1201, in particular Annex 1, Chapter 2 "Special regulations for
the use of working equipment for lifting loads" must be observed.
• Outside the Federal Republic of Germany the specific provisions issued
locally in the country where the items are used must also be observed.
• The directions given in these Operating Instructions and specified
documentations relating to safety, assembly, operation, inspection, and
maintenance must be made available to the respective persons.
• Make sure these Operating Instructions are available in a place near the
product during the time the equipment is used.
Please contact the manufacturer if replacements are needed.
• When performing work make sure to wear your personal protective
equipment!
• Improper assembly and use may cause personal injury and/or damage
to property.
• Assembly and removal as well as inspection and maintenance must
exclusively be carried out by skilled and authorized persons.
• Structural changes are impermissible (e.g. welding, bending).
• Operators must carry out a visual inspection and, if necessary, a
functional test of the safety equipment before each use.
• Never put to use worn-out, bent or damaged lifting points.
• Only lift loads the mass of which is less than or equal to the working load
limit of the lifting points.
• Do not use force when mounting/positioning the lifting points.
• Only lift loads that are freely movable and not attached or fastened.
• Do not bend the ring or suspension link.
• Do not start lifting before you have made sure the load has been correctly
attached.
• Make sure no one including you (operator) is in the way of the moving load
(hazard area).
• During lifting/hoisting make sure your hands or other body parts do not come
into contact with hoisting means. Only remove hoisting means manually (use
your hands).
• Avoid impacts, e.g. due to abruptly lifting loads with chain in slack condition.
• Never move a suspended load over persons.
• Never cause suspended loads to swing.
• Always monitor a suspended load.
• Put the load only down in places/sites where it can be safely deposited.
• Put the load only down in flat places/sites where it can be safely deposited.
• Take care for sufficient place for the personnel to move when choosing the
route of transportation and storage location. Danger to life and risk of injury
by crushing hazards!
• In the event of doubts about the use, inspection, maintenance or similar
things contact your safety officer or the manufacturer!
THIELE will not be responsible for damage caused through non-
observance of the instructions, rules, standards and notes indicated!
As regards quality grade 10/XL THIELE does not give its general approval
to the assembly of components stemming from different manufacturers!
Working under the influence of drugs or alcohol is strictly forbidden!
