Why is this important? Worn clamp jaws cause less indentation in the sheet pile profile, which increases the likelihood of the board slipping out of the clamps.
Optimum grip
When the clamp jaws are new, the points on the surface ensure optimum grip. As the clamp jaws wear, the contact area increases, and the force required to make a good indentation decreases. With all the associated risks.
Replacement advice
Always use new bolts and washers when fitting new clamp jaws. Used bolts lose their tension due to high loads and many load changes. Also check sheet pile chains and guide points regularly. These parts are subject to high wear and tear and play an important role in machine safety.
Daily inspection
As described in our manuals, it is essential to fully inspect the machine before each use:
- Check the clamp jaws, bolts, nuts and hoses for wear and damage.
- Check for oil levels, leaks and cracks in visible parts.
- Lubricate and maintain clamps and cylinders as prescribed.
Through regular maintenance and timely replacement of wear parts, we increase safety, extend the life of our machines and guarantee maximum performance.
