Tensology used the COLT, which measures tension up to 11,000 lbf (lb. force) / 5,000 kgf (kg force) and up to 1 in. / 25mm diameter, to verify that each of the eight newly installed ropes were under the same tension. Any variance would have created a safety issue when the elevator was returned to work delivering materials to different levels of the steel-making factory.

With a forged alloy steel body for weight and strength optimization, individually Proof Tested to 2x WLL and unique serial number, these clamps won’t let you down. The Pivots are hardened with a proprietary hardening process, resulting in a strong, yet ductile core and an extremely high surface hardness. Of course, all clamps come with a test certificate, user manual and on-site training can be provided with the [Crosby Rigging Truck](http://www.rigcrosby.com).

When it comes to safety of life and load, CrosbyIP takes care of every little detail of their clamps. The pivots of CrosbyIP clamps undergo a proprietary hardening process, resulting in a strong, yet ductile core and an extremely high surface hardness. To make sure that the pivot keeps the specified hardness and strength, no further surface treatment is done, as this may induce unwanted reactions (such as hydrogen embrittlement). So, whatever you are lifting or handling, choose CrosbyIP Lifting Clamps ![CrosbyIP IPSC10.png](https://news.kitocrosby.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CrosbyIP%20IPSC10.png?width=731&height=407&name=CrosbyIP%20IPSC10.png)     [Read More](https://news.kitocrosby.com/news/crosbyip-ipsc10-1) Topics: [Products](https://news.kitocrosby.com/news/topic/products) --- ## [The Eliminator Chain Sling System](https://news.kitocrosby.com/news/dannys-rigging-den-the-eliminator-chain-sling-system) Posted by [Crosby](https://news.kitocrosby.com/news/author/crosby) on Dec 4, 2017 8:00:00 AM When loads are not properly rigged to the center of gravity, load control and stability suffer; loads and lives are at risk.
