2 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
FBK
The FBK safety beam lifting clamp has especially been developed for the lifting of steel
beams.
A special lifting shackle is used to place the centre of gravity of the beam to be lifted directly
beneath the lifting shackle. This maintains the equilibrium of the beam, once it is lifted.
The FBK lifting clamp features a safety mechanism consisting of a locking device, a tension
spring and a lever. Once the lever is operated, the safety mechanism provides constant pre-
tensioning of the cam on the steel plate, this ensuring that the clamp does not slip when
the lifting force is applied. When a load is being lifted, the clamping force on the cam is
increased by the weight of the load. It also ensures that the clamp will not work itself loose
from the plate when the lifting force is off the clamp.
TOBK
The TOBK clamps are specifically designed for horizontal lifting and transporting steel
beams, sections and construction parts. The TOBK has a lock in an open and closed position.
The TOBK can be used for lifting beams at the sides or at the heads. TOBK clamps should
always be used in pairs. Special design makes it possible to lift steel (H) beams on the flange
as well as on the upper ends of the beam.
