After the steel plate is clamped by the steel plate hanger, the steel wire rope passing through its top lifting hole will lift the steel plate hanger and the clamped steel plate together. In this process, if the wire rope is hit by an obstacle, it will cause some serious consequences. So what will happen?

1. The steel plate shakes. If the wire rope connecting the steel plate tong is hit, the steel plate tong and the clamped steel plate will easily swing back and forth, and it is likely that the steel plate will fall in the swing.

2. The steel plate tong is displaced. In the process of steel plate shaking, the steel plate tongs held on the steel plate are easily forced to move, and after the steel plate tongs move, the steel plate can no longer maintain its balance, and it is likely that the steel plate tongs will slide directly from one side to fall.

3. The wire rope is damaged. If the impact force is too strong or the impact object is sharp, the wire rope may be damaged or broken. At this time, the steel plate tongs and steel plates are at risk of falling.

In order to avoid the above consequences, before using the steel plate lifting pliers to hold the steel plate for lifting, it is necessary to clear the obstacles that may exist in the low altitude nearby and keep the work site clean and tidy, so as to avoid the collision of the steel wire rope and ensure the smooth lifting operation.
