2. GENERAL
Doughty Quick Trigger clamps series consist of various clamps used to lift loads or make
structural connections. Clamps are used in the entertainment market. They can be used for
permanent support structures in places of entertainment such as museums, event venues,
theatres etc.
The use of clamps is solely seen as for professional use as lifting loads is inherently
dangerous.
Only competent persons are permitted to install and use Doughty Quick Trigger clamps. A
competent person in this respect is an individual with relevant technical education, training
and/or experience enabling him or her to perceive risks and to avoid hazards occurring
during use of a product.
The load capacity differs depending on the model and the safety factor required. Quick
Trigger clamps are suitable to fit steel or aluminium tubes with diameters ranging from 38mm
- 80mm. Clamps stamped with the maximum working load.
Most clamps are available in Silver (polished aluminium) and black powder coating.
Special attention has been taken to safety. Therefore the TUV test certificates indicate
multiple working loads. Depending on the application or local applicable legislation max
working load can be chosen.

Quick Trigger Clamp User Manual Version A Original User Manual Page 4of 19
Clamps can be judged as a lifting accessories under the EU machine Directive 2006/42/EC
as well as German DGUV-BGV-C1 for lifting and holding loads above persons. They can
also be used as a joining part in constructions. For this application no harmonised standard
is available no CE Declaration of Performance can be provided.
Doughty has endeavoured to deliver the highest degree of accuracy possible. However,
continuous improvement of our products is a Doughty Policy. Therefore, product
specifications are subject to change without notice.
Readers and users are encouraged to notify Doughty of errors and send in suggestions for
improvement. All communications will be carefully considered for future printings of this
manual and changes to our products.
Some models of clamp are composed of different elements each with an individual Working
Load. The lowest of the working loads determines the overall strength and thus shall be
used as max working Load for the application.
Resulting forces in the structure attached shall be verified before applying a load.
For the ease of reading this document the word “Clamps” or “Clamp” is used to cover all
Doughty Quick Trigger clamp series and models.
3. SCOPE
The intended use of clamps is to be used as a lifting accessory to hang loads or create a
connection between structural elements. Loads can be, but not limited to, lighting fixtures,
video projectors, sound systems and stage sets.
Structural elements can be pipes, trusses, tubular frame works or lifting brackets.
Any use other than that mentioned is considered to be a case of misuse. The user/operator
and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases
of misuse.
The use of clamps for scaffolding purposes under EN74 is explicitly excluded from the
intended use.
Check local legislation for the application of use and adapt the use where ever necessary.

6. MODIFICATION
The following modifications are allowed to be executed by third parties.
Nut replacement: Standard bolt and wing-nut shall be replaced by a self-locking nuts when
•Loads are predominantly dynamic.
•Loads are moving and change position.
Painting:
•To paint a clamp, cover all bolts and nut with tape.
•Use blasting to roughen the surface and to degrease the clamp.
•Use a wet-paint or powder coating paint system to colour the part.
7. SAFETY INFORMATION
For health and safety reasons people assembling, disassembling, transporting, maintaining
and cleaning Clamps should wear adequate Personal Protection Equipment such as, but not
limited to; gloves, hard hats and safety shoes.
DO NOT lift people or loads above people without the following precautions
Use a Self-locking nut instead of the wingnuts on the eye bolts when loads are predominantly
dynamic and loads are moving and change position.
Clamps shall be solely used for the range of pipe diameters as stated the clamp. The
use of a clamp on other diameter pipes will lower the maximum working load
Do not exceed the maximum working load engraved on the clamp.
Make sure the resulting forces on the supporting structure are approved by a
competent person.
All loads imposed shall be considered. E.g. dynamic forces caused by the lifting
machinery.
Bolts and nuts shall be tightened by means of a spanner in such a manner they
cannot be released by man power.
When loads are using electrical power, equip-potential bonding shall be put in place.
The choice of clamp must be adapted to the load.
When used as lifting accessory, clamps shall be inspected by a competent person as
often as required but with a minimum of once a year.
Inspect equipment before every use. Damaged clamps shall be taken out of service.
