What if the main body of the steel plate lifting tongs inclines during use? First of all, it is necessary to determine the cause. Here, we first rule out improper manual operation and product quality issues.

How to repair inclined steel plate lifting tongs?

1. Stop construction work and remove the lifting tongs.

2. Open the screws used to grip the steel plate and loosen the clamping bolts to adjust the tilt state of the lifting tongs themselves. See if it can be solved

3. If there is no solution, please carefully inspect the product according to the instruction manual for steel plate lifting tongs. Check whether there are cracks on the surface of the lifting tongs, whether the product components are incomplete, whether there is rust inside the product, and whether there are sands. For example, in order to increase product safety and lifting strength, a rubber pad will be added to the hook of the LB series of steel plate lifting tongs to increase friction. If a worker improperly operates during use, resulting in damage to the rubber pad, the main body will tilt.

4. The upper end and the end of the lifting ring are the stress points, and there will be wear if the service time exceeds the service life. If the wear degree exceeds 10%, it is necessary to consider replacing the product.

5. When installing the steel plate clamp head, please take care to avoid tilting the spherical head. When the spherical chuck of the steel plate clamp is tilted, temporarily loosen the clamping bolt, correct the tilt state of the main body, and then install the spherical chuck with a heavy weight.
