FLEET-HYDROL

DESCRIPTION

FLEET-HYDROL is the Australian agent for MO-CLAMP self-tightening clamp system, the original and patented wedge-pulling ring.

• All items are drop-forged for maximum strength & durability
• Design allows the wedge to turn during use, avoiding unwanted twists and bends and allowing a straight pull line to enhance precision and the life of the equipment.

MO-CLAMP products are available in three configurations:

• “Gater” tooth – aggressive design for holding structural components in areas where repair is not visible after job completion.
• “Horizontal” tooth – for a secure grip on all metal surfaces. Some products feature an angled horizontal tooth design.
• “Cross-hatched” tooth – aggressive design for sheet metal and lightweight components. Grips securely, but with less deformation than with “gater” design.

SAFETY & SERVICE TIPS

WARNING – Never stand within two metres in any direction of a chain under tension. ALWAYS use secondary safety ties for the chain

• Always monitor anchor locations during a pulling operation
• Watch for separating weld seams – usually identified by “popping” noises
• Remove all grease or paint from attachment points
• Minimise backlash from a loose chain or clamp, wrap with safety chains, blankets or tarps
• Never overload equipment – see inspection procedures below

Clamp maintenance

• Keep teeth free of dirt, grease & paint by cleaning with a wire brush. Store on a tool board or rack.
• Lubricate bolts & nuts with authorised anti-seize compound.
• Sharpen teeth with a sharp triangular file
• Check clamp nuts & bolts frequently, These are always the items to wear most under extreme loads, so tighten & replace with authorised MO-CLAMP components as required.

Chain usage & maintenance

ALWAYS inspect chain prior to use. Nicks, gouges, twists, stretching or excessive wear are DANGER SIGNS.

• Avoid making sharp turns/corners that could cause excessive strain and breakage
• Avoid twists that will measurably reduce the tensile strength.
• Apply smooth pressure and avoid sudden jerks that may overload the chain
• DO NOT OVERLOAD. This causes stretching and reduces strength. If a chain has been overloaded, inspect it immediately and remove from service if damaged,
