DESCRIPTION
Cobra grade 80 concrete lifting clutch is designed
to engage to the head of a lifting anchor system
precast into concrete elements. It consists of two
components;
• Spherical head anchor.
• Lifting link.
The design allows a precast panel to be lifted, turned,
tilted and rotated under load. The design ensures that
only matching components fit together.
The head anchor and lifting link all come from the
same load group. Take note of the load group marked
on the link.
PERIODIC INSPECTION
Before each use of the device and regularly, the
operator shall carry out a thorough inspection in a
clean, well-lit place to check the clutches condition
and proper operation. Carefully check all elements,
paying particular attention to any damage, excessive
wear, corrosion, abrasion, cuts and malfunction.
Keep a record of all periodic inspections, which must
be carried out by a skilled person. The maximum
interval between inspections is one year, but
frequency may vary according to legislation in force
in the country in which the clutches are used. In
the case of continuous or particularly heavy use,
the frequence of inspections must be increased
accordingly.
Any defects found should be corrected before use. It
is important to determine the amount of wear. If wear
is more than 5% take the clutch out of service. The
lettering and identification must be visible. If the link
is deformed or damaged, the device must be taken
out of use and cannot be repaired.
Damage, distortions, cracks and extensive corrosion
can reduce the load-carrying capacity and lead to
failure. This causes a hazard of injury or potentially
death. Any affected parts must be taken out of
service immediately.
In case of any doubts as to the condition and usage of
this device. Do not put into service and consult GT.
