5.6 Squeezing (Spreaders, Combi Tools)
The squeezing of pipes and other hollow proles takes place by closing the spreader arms.
However, with the combi tools, squeezing can only be done in the area of the tips!
ATTENTION!
Material to be squeezed can suddenly spring away. Do not remain in the
working area of the spreading and combi tools!
5.7 Lifting (Spreaders, Combi Tools, Rescue Rams)
Spreaders, combi tools and rescue rams can be used for lifting vehicles or other movable loads
on one side. Care must be taken to secure the load against slipping away and to position the
spreader tips far enough apart under the load to prevent slipping.
The load being lifted must be constantly monitored (tipping, rolling away or changing position).
Furthermore, the lifted load must be immediately propped up and supported in a suitable way.
Avoid remaining beneath loads!
Under special conditions, rescue rams can also be used to lift loads. When doing so, make
especially sure that the ram is placed as centrally as possible and at a right angle beneath
the load.
i
NOTE!
Before a rescue ram is used, the attachment point must be supported
so that force develops in the desired direction.
i
NOTE!
Complete lifting of loads is not permitted with rescue equipment.
5.8 Peeling (Spreaders, Combi Tools, Rescue Rams)
To create entry openings after bus and train accidents, in silos, etc., both the spreader tips and
the peeling tool can be used.
