Greasing points:

• Grease the twistlocks and bolt of the unlock handle

• Grease the actuating handle (inside the cross tube)
• Check the wire rope extensioner for easy moving up and down (optional)
• The drop nose bold of the extensioner (optional)
• The top of the twistlock under the nut
• Wire ropes to prevent corrosion (BEL RAY 8 in 1)

Other points

• Check the wire ropes for wire breakage

• Replace twistlocks after 100000 moves or sooner if there is too much space
through corrosion between bolt and nut
• Check the working of the spreader. You can test the working of the twistlocks by
placing the spreader on blocks and moving the central shaft

1.70 MATERIAL CERTIFICATION

Stinis only uses material with certificates according to DIN 50049 3.1.B or 3.1.C.

Stinis requires high values regarding the high stresses of the material and therefore Stinis
has his own standards.

Those standards are depending on the quality and thickness of the material specified for
the minimum requirements of alloying elements and the charpy-V at low temperature.

Procedure:

Procedure regarding the identity of materials:

• Stinis only buys materials with international recognized certificates.

• At the arrival of the materials, Stinis controls the registration numbers.
• Materials get their own Stinis registration number with mentioning the month,
year and next number of the incoming product.
• These numbers will be on high loaded material register.
• All identity numbers are in files with the following registered data:
Dimensions/quality
Stinis number
Identification number
Material certificate number
Material certificate document

Minimum requirements:

• For quality Fe42-C/D en Fe52-C/D, the minimum charpy-V / -20 is 60J

• For quality with a yield point of 700 N/mm2 till a thickness of 20mm, the
minimum charpy-V / - 40 is 60J
• For quality with a yield point of 700 N/mm2 till a thickness of more than 20mm,
the minimum charpy-V / 40 is 100J
• For quality with a yield point of 850 N/MM2 till a thickness of 60mm, the
minimum charpy-V / 60 is 60J

Certificates:

Upon request, certificates will be made available for viewing at our office.
