Original in compliance with machinery directive 2006/42/EC
1DESCRIPTION AND INDENTED USE
THIELE screw-type lifting points “XKE-Points” are intended to securely connect
components/loads with slings, e.g. with chain slings according to EN 818-4 or with
lashings according to EN 12195.
They are intended for installation in steel, aluminium or non-ferrous component
constructions.
The “XKE-Points” meet EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC requirements and feature
a safety factor of at least 4 based on the working load limit (WLL).
The „XKE-Points“ are marked with the CE symbol. They are also marked with the
working load limit in tons, the thread size, manufacturers mark “H4” and traceability
code.
The „XKE-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) the working load limit must be reduced.
The „XKE-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 limits depending on the number of legs and inclination angles are
shown in the table in chapter 4.2.
The lifting points are normally not intended for the transportation of persons.
The occasional turning and rotating of loads is permitted. The permanent turning and
rotating of loads is not permitted.
Using the lifting points exclusively for lashing the lashing capacity (LC) is calculated by
doubling the working load limit.
An alternating use for lifting and lashing is not allowed.
2SAFETY NOTES
Risk of injury!
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 109-017 and DGUV I 209-013 issued by the German Employers’
Liability Insurance Association (DGUV), as well as the operating instructions of the
loads concerning advise for lifting.
•In the Federal Republic of Germany, the Operational Safety Ordinance ( etrSichV)
has to be implemented and the Technical Rule for Industrial Safety TR S 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

•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 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!

5ASSEM LY AND REMOVAL
Preparation
The mounting location for each lifting point must ensure that
•the load can take the forces safely to be applied without suffering deformation,
•the lifting point can be assembled flush,
•no areas of danger are created (crushing point, shearing point),
•transportation is not restrained by overhang,
•deflections of sling components are avoided,
•incorrect use is avoided,
•the sling cannot be damaged, for example by sharp edges,
•the lifting point can be used easily.
A embly
The useful depth of the thread must enable the lifting points to be safely screwed in.
Use only the delivered screws!
The threaded hole must be perpendicular to the screw-on surface in the load. The
depth of the thread "L" of the component must be at least as follows:
L = 1,0 x dg for steel (yield stress R
e
≥ 235 N/mm²)
L = 1,25 x dg for castings
L = 2,0 x dg for aluminium
L = 2,5 x dg in aluminium-magnesium-alloys
(L = depth of thread; dg = thread diameter)
•Make sure the threads of the lifting point and in the component are clean and dry.
•If lifting points should remain on the component a thread locker has to be used.
•For through-boltings, the nut must be secured against loosening.
•Single lifting operation WITHOUT turning or rotating:
Hand-tighten the screws with a suitable spanner for screws with hexagon socket
according to DIN.
It must be ensured that the screws of the lifting points cannot loosen by themselves.
•Lifting WITH turning or rotating as well as multiple lifting operations:
Tighten the screws to the tightening torques specified in the technical data.
However, repeated lowering of the load to the ground requires a new check!
•Lifting points that remain on the loads should be tightened to the tightening torques
specified in the technical data.
•Chamfers on the threaded holes are not required.
6USE IF DIFFERENT SCREWS
If local circumstances dictate that different screws must be used from those supplied
with the installation or listed in chapter 9, the operator must ensure that
•these fasteners conform to the specified diameter and strength class,
•they can achieve the minimum required screw-in depth,
•they are 100 % crack tested,
•each bolt has a proven notched impact energy of min. 36 J as a mean value of three
samples tested at -20 °C or at the lowest fitting temperature, if this is below -20 °C,
and that none of the samples fall below 25 J,
•written confirmation of the crack test and impact energy results is enclosed with the
technical documentation.
7CONDITIONS OF USE
Normal u e
The force must be applied in the longitudinal direction of the attached component (e.g.
hook).
The attached component (e.g. hook) must always be able to move freely. Supporting
the component at the lifting point is not permissible.
Using 4-leg chain slings may cause higher risk because only 2 opposite legs carrying the
load. Check the working load limit of lifting points and chain sling carefully and chose if
necessary bigger sizes.
The following illustrations show typical applications and foreseeable misuse:
U e in through hole
If lifting points are fastened by means of nuts in holes (e.g. of metal sheets), the
following conditions must be observed:
•Turning or rotating the load is not permitted.
•The strength class of the nuts must be 10 or higher (thread size M12: class 12).
•The chamfer at the end of the screw thread must protrude from the nut.
•It must be ensured that the component to be lifted is suitable to withstand the force
to be applied safely and without deformation, including the corresponding safety
factors.
•Suitable action must be taken to ensure that the nut cannot loosen unintentionally,
e.g. suitable torque or threadlocker.
Influence of temperature
The permissible working load limit of the lifting points reduces at elevated
temperatures. The reduced working load limit figures shown in the following table shall
only apply for short-term use at the temperatures indicated.
Temperature range Remaining working load limit (WLL)
-20 °C ≤ t ≤ 100 °C 100 %
100 °C < t ≤ 200 °C 85 %
200 °C < t ≤ 250 °C 80 %
250 °C < t ≤ 300 °C 75 %
If a lifting point has been exposed to temperatures exceeding the maximum values
specified, it must no longer be used.
Use below -40 °C is generally not permitted.
Take care for a loss of lubricant depending on several fitting positions and higher
temperatures. A higher wear may occur. Shorten the inspection interval for that case.

Environmental influence
Lifting points must not be used in environments where acids, aggressive or corrosive
chemicals or their fumes are present.
Hot-dip galvanizing or a galvanic treatment is prohibited as well.
8INSPECTIONS, MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL
General
Inspections and maintenance must be arranged for by the owner!
Inspection deadlines shall be determined by the owner!
Inspections must be carried out and documented by competent persons regularly but
at least once a year, or more frequently if the lifting points are in heavy-duty service.
After three years at the latest they must additionally be examined for cracks. A load
test shall never be considered a substitute for this examination.
The results of the inspection shall be entered into a register (DGUV I 209-062 or
DGUV I 209-063) to be prepared when a lifting point is firstly used. The register will
show characteristic data of the lifting points and other components as well as identity
details.
Immediately stop using lifting points that show the following defects:
•missing or illegible identification/marking
•deformation, elongation or fractures
•cuts, notches, cracks, incipient cracks, pinching
•limited rotatability (dry or stuck ball bearing)
•heating beyond permissible limits
•severe corrosion
•defect screw or thread
In pection ervice
THIELE offers inspection, maintenance and repair services for lifting points performed
by trained and competent personnel.
Maintenance
Maintenance and repair work must only be performed by competent persons.
Minor notches and cracks at suspension links may be eliminated by careful grinding
observing the maximum cross section reduction requirement of 10 % and avoid making
more severe cuts or scores.
Regreasing of the ball bearing is not intended. Replace lifting points with recognisably
dry ball bearings.
All maintenance and repair activities are to be documented.
Di po al
All components and accessories of steel taken out of service are to be scrapped in line
with local regulations and provisions.
