Steel plate tongs play an irreplaceable role in industrial production, but if used improperly, they can often have potential hazards and cause accidents, especially when just adapting to work or when the steel plate tongs become old. For the sake of personal health, and to avoid using forced or dangerous methods of use.

        When it is necessary to determine the position of steel plate tongs, it is necessary to avoid the locking rod or spring hook from contacting the steel rope, chain, lifting ring, and lifting objects during winding up or down; Confirm whether the installation position of the steel plate tong is higher than the balance point of the lifting object; Confirm whether the locking device is in a good locking state; Confirm whether the steel plate tongs are fully inserted. In addition, it is necessary to consider the state of lifting objects when landing to determine the installation position, especially when lifting objects with poor stability when landing are quite dangerous.

      When working with steel plate tongs, it is strictly prohibited to enter the area where the lifting object may fall or overturn; Do not lift the steel plate placed longitudinally by clamping it laterally, otherwise it may cause dangerous accidents; When lifting with multiple steel cables, attention should be paid to deflecting the load.

      When lifting long sized objects with steel plate tongs, a balance should be used and multiple steel cables should be used for lifting; Please be sure to use lifting cables and chains that meet specifications. Before starting lifting work, it is necessary to confirm whether there are any bends or twists on the cables and chains. It is strictly prohibited to use one hook and several clamps to clamp several lifting objects for lifting work, otherwise it may lead to dangerous accidents; It is strictly prohibited to use a clamp to clamp more than two steel plates for lifting work, otherwise it may lead to dangerous accidents.

       Please pay attention to the impact load when unloading the lifting object or landing the steel plate tongs, and when carrying out the overturning work; The crane should be used slowly and carefully to avoid imposing impact loads on the load or clamps. When placing special-shaped materials on the ground, be sure to use an anti fall frame, and do not hang the removed steel plate tongs on the lifting object again.
