Weld-type lifting / lashing points serve to secure components / loads by

lifting respectively lashing gear to enable safe transportation.

This operating manual includes information on how lifting and lashing

points of the following types are safely used and assembled:

TWN 0119 Lifting point, weld-type

TWN 0124 Lifting point, weld-type, with spring

TWN 1880 Lashing point, weld-type, with spring

TWN = THIELE plant standard

Read this manual before using lifting / lashing points. Store this manual

until the lifting / lashing points are shut down.

Product Description 1

Weld-type lifting / lashing points mainly consist of a weld-on support and a

ring. With exception of the TWN 0119 lifting points springs are integrated in

the weld-on support. They provide position stabilization and noise reduction

when not in use.

Lifting / lashing points can be loaded to 100% in all tensile directions.

Lifting points are marked with the working load limit (WLL) in tons.

Lashing points are marked with the lashing capacity (LC) in daN

(decanewton).

This indication only applies to the lifting / lashing point itself and not to the

overall load or suspension gear used. Withdraw the working load limit

depending on the mode from chapter 4.

Working load limits as well as product and test requirements are based on

the standards DIN EN 1677-1 and DIN EN 1677-4.

B08000-E Page 3 EN-191214

The lifting points are in conformity with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG,

marked with the CE symbol and have a safety factor of min. 4 relating to

their working load limit. The lifting points have been type tested by

‘Berufsgenossenschaft Holz und Metall’ and marked with the H 4-stamp.

Intended Use 2

The lifting / lashing points are intended for attachment to steel structures.

They serve to connect these structures to lifting respectively lashing gear

used for safe transportation.

The lifting / lashing points must exclusively be used

as prescribed by their permissible working load limit or lashing

capacity,

withing the temperature limits prescribed,

with properly laid welding seams.

Products according to TWN 0119 or TWN 0124 may also be used as

lashing points. The lashing capacity is calculated as the double of the

working load limit.

An alternating usage as lifting and lashing points is not allowed!

The information included in this manual has been carefully checked with respect to correctness and

completeness.

Safety Notes 3

3.1 Personnel

Operators must familiarize themselves with this operating manual as

well as regulation BGR 500, Chapter 2.8 „Betreiben von Last-

aufnahmeeinrichtungen im Hebezeugbetrieb“ (Use of load suspension

devices for hoisting purposes) as issued by German Accident

Prevention and Insurance Association.

Mounting and removal must exclusively be carried out by authorized

persons.

Consider the 'BG-Information 556' while operating.

Outside the Federal Republic of Germany the specific provisions issued

locally in the country where the items are used must also be observed.

3.2 Product Safety

Risk of Injury

Make sure to use lifting / lashing points free from defects.

Never use worn-out, bent or damaged lifting / lashing points.

Never make structural changes to lifting points (e.g. by grinding or

bending).

3.3 Use

Risk of Injury

Never stay under lifted loads.

Only lift loads the weight of which is less than or equal to the carrying

capacity of the suspension gear.

Never subject lifting / lashing points to loads higher than their specified

working load limit or lashing force.

Do not use force when mounting/positioning the lifting / lashing points.

Do not start lifting before you have made sure that the load has been

correctly attached.

Never move a suspended load over persons.

B08000-E Page 5 EN-191214

When lifting loads make sure your hands or other body parts do not

come into contact with the suspension gear.

Never cause a suspended load to swing.

Make sure lifting points are mounted above the load’s center of

gravity.

The mounting location of the lifting points on the component must be

suited for the forces admitted via the lifting point to be safely absorbed

without the component suffering deformation.

Lifting / lashing points are not approved for passenger transportation.

Mounting 5

5.1 Preparations

Make sure the welding surfaces are flat, dry, free of impurity, flawless and

weldable (C-content between 0,25% and 0,39%). Make sure the weld area

at the component is able to absorb the input force without safety reducing

deformation.

5.2 Mounting the lifting / lashing point

Mount the lifting / lashing point so that

no areas of danger (crushing points, shear zones, penetration points)

are created,

they do not interfere the transport because of overhang,

mounted lifting / lashing devices (usually hooks) are freely moveable

and not stressed by bending,

prohibited orders, for example excentric loads are avoided,

the suspension gear cannot be damaged e.g. by sharp edges,

they are freely accessible and can be used without any interference.

Make sure the weld seam area at the component is large enough for the

lifting / lashing points to be safely attached by welding.

Observe welding instructions in chapter 9.

B08000-E Page 8 EN-191214

Application 6

6.1 Use under Normal Conditions

The ring must always be freely

movable. It must not rest on or be

supported by other structural parts.

6.2 Influence of Temperature

Lifting points

The permissible working load limit of the lifting points reduces at elevated

temperatures.

The reduced working load limit figures shown in the following table shall

only apply for short-term use at the temperatures indicated.

TWN 0119, TWN 0124 (Grade 8):

Temperature range Remaining Working load limit

-40 °C to 200 °C 100 %

200 °C to 300 °C 90 %

300 °C to 400 °C 75 %

After warming the products above the maximum usage temperature range

they must not be used again.

Lashing points

Usage temperature range for lashing points: -20 °C to +200 °C.

6.3 Environmental Influence

Using the products in the surrounding area of acid, aggressive or corrosive

chemicals or their vapors is prohibited.

Inspections / Disposal 7

Check the lifting / lashing points visually at regular intervals.

The results of the inspection of the lifting points shall be entered into a

register to be prepared when the lifting point is first used. This register

includes characteristics of the lifting point as well as identification

particulars (Declaration of conformity / Inspection certificate).

B08000-E Page 9 EN-191214

An inspection must be carried out at least once a year or more frequent if

the lifting points are in heavy-duty service. After three years at the latest the

lifting points shall be examined for cracks.

The condition of lifting point and its components must be documented

during these inspections. When making repairs to lifting points note down

the cause of the defect and the remedial action that has been taken.

Immediately stop using lifting / lashing points that show the following

defects:

Deformation

cuts, notches, cracks, incipient cracks

Rings cannot freely rotate or turn

heating beyond permissible limits

Severe corrosion

Wear, e.g. exceeding 10% in the ring diameter area

Identification marks are unreadable

Defective or non-conforming welds

Dispose of worn out products according to local regulations.

Storage / Packaging 8

Store the lifting / lashing points in dry space at temperatures between 0 °C

and +40 °C.

Dispose of packaging according to local regulations.
