General Information

All products manufactured by The Crosby Group Inc. are sold with the express understanding that the purchaser is thoroughly familiar with the safe and proper use and application of the product.

Responsibility for the use and application of the products rests with the user. The Crosby Group disseminates products warnings and end user application information through various channels. In addition, Crosby provides formal product training seminars and our engineering personnel are readily available to answer your technical questions. For more information read the Crosby General Catalog, available from SELS on 01977684600.

Failure of the product can occur due to misapplication, abuse, or improper maintenance. Product failure could allow the load to become out of control, resulting in possible property damage, personal injury or death.

There are numerous government and industry standards that cover products made by Crosby. This catalog makes no attempt to reference all of them. We do reference the standards that are most frequently asked about.

Ratings shown in Crosby Group literature are applicable only to new or “in as new” condition products.

Load Limit ratings indicate the greatest force or load a product can carry under usual environmental conditions. Shock loading and extraordinary conditions must be taken into account when selecting products for use in a system.

In general, the products displayed in Crosby Group literature are used as parts of a system being employed to accomplish a task. Therefore, we can only recommend within the Working Load Limits, or other stated limitations, the use of products for this purpose.

The Working Load Limit, or Design Factor, or Efficiency Rating of each Crosby product may be affected by wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional alteration, and other use conditions.

Regular inspection must be conducted to determine whether use can be continued at the catalog assigned WLL, a reduced WLL, or whether the product must be withdrawn from service.

Crosby Group products generally are intended for tension or pull. Side loading must be avoided, as it exerts additional force or loading which the product is not designed to accommodate.

Welding Crosby load support parts or products can be hazardous. Knowledge of materials, heat treatment, and welding procedures are necessary for proper welding. Crosby Group should be consulted for information.

The assigned Ultimate Load Rating of Crosby Group products for the reeving of wire, manila, or synthetic rope is based upon design; the catalog ultimate strength for the rope parts, when totaled, may exceed the assigned Ultimate Load Rating.

The Working Load Limit of a sling must not exceed the lowest Working Load Limit of the components in the system.

The recommended Proof Load on all items in this catalog is 2 times the Working Load Limit unless otherwise shown.

Products that Crosby intends for swaging are identified in this catalog. For proper swaging machine training, operations and die selection, refer to specific product section in this manual. To develop other product for swaging requires knowledge of materials, heat treatment, product design, die design and performance of the final product.

Use only new genuine Crosby parts as replacements when servicing or repairing Crosby products.

Crosby products are to be considered as sparking, unless otherwise noted.

Product Label Replacement - In accordance with ANSI535.4-1991, “Product Safety Labels” should be periodically inspected and cleaned.

“Product Safety Labels” should be replaced when they are no longer legible. Current Crosby warning and application labels, for applicable products, are available from The Crosby Group, Inc.

Two decimal and fractional dimensions shown in catalog are intended as nominal dimensions only. If three decimal dimensions are shown, contact Crosby for tolerance information.

Low Temperature Service

Crosby forged and cast steel products can be used in general service conditions down to temperatures of -40° F (-40° C). At temperatures from 0° F to -40° F (-18° C to -40° C), good rigging practice requires special attention in the following areas.

• Lifting should be performed at a steady rate. Shock loading should be avoided.
• Equipment containing bearings should have increased inspection and maintenance schedule, and may require special lubrication.
• All lifting equipment should be given a thorough visual inspection before each lift.
• Remove nicks, gouges, or cracks by grinding (5% maximum material removal).
• Do not use fittings that have been welded or modified after leaving the factory.
• If determined to be necessary by the user, lifting equipment should undergo periodic inspection by dye penetrant or magnetic particle surface inspection.
• For operation at temperatures below -40° F (-40° C), consider “Cold Tuff” products or contact Crosby Engineering.

Elevated Temperature Service

Crosby forged and cast steel products can be used in general service conditions up to temperatures of 400° F (204° C). The following should be considered when operating up to temperatures of 400 ° F (204° C).

• Products that contain non-ferrous materials, and lubricants, plastics, etc. may be adversely affected by high temperatures, and typically should not exceed 200° F (93° C).
• Galvanized, plated or painted fittings may suffer some or total degradation of the surface finish.
• Extended exposure to elevated temperatures can cause severe surface scaling and significant permanent reduction of properties.
• Repeated heating and cooling to room temperatures can result in temper embrittlement.

Crosby's Quality Continuum.

When you read on a contract the statement “Crosby or Equal”, you owe it to yourself and the personnel that will be using the product to understand that there is no equal to Crosby...

The Market Leader: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

When you read on a contract the statement “Crosby or Equal”, you owe it to yourself and the personnel that will be using the product to understand that there is no equal to Crosby. The following information has been designed to help you determine the many “Value Added” features of Crosby products that are the foundation for the performance characteristics and technical support required from a quality manufacturer. You will see from the following information that “When buying Crosby, you’re buying more than product, you’re buying Quality”.

Engineering Excellence

The majority of Crosby’s products are “Heat Treated”. The “Heat Treatment” allows the product to deform if overloading occurs, giving warning before ultimate failure. An “As-Forged”, or non-heat treated product, will break with little or no warning. This is called a “Catastrophic Failure”, and is a result of brittleness or lack of toughness in the non-heat treated product as compared to the “Heat Treated” product.

Quality Control

The majority of the steel purchased by Crosby is isolated from production until approved by our metallurgical lab. Each product is individually “PIC Coded” (Product Identification Code) to allow traceability to its respective date of production and material certification. Durability

Competitor’s products cannot be substituted in place of Crosby’s just because they look alike. Crosby products are manufactured with the highest design factors in the industry. Crosby’s products are better able to withstand abusive field conditions because of the improved impact and fatigue characteristics designed into each item of our line.

Crosby recognizes the importance of all four of these essential properties in its products:

• Working Load Limit
• Ductility
• Fatigue
• Toughness

Recognized Dependability

Crosby is considered the standard of the industry, both nationally and internationally. This can be drawn from the fact that most contracts involving rigging products, in the U.S. and around the world, read “Crosby Only” or “Crosby or Equal".

Industry Education

Crosby has always been concerned that our users are knowledgeable with the installation, use, inspection, and maintenance of our products. Crosby offers a formal product instruction and warning program which includes such “Value Added” features as instruction sheets attached to individual items, comprehensive literature, and a video training program. A Technical Support Team is also ready to answer any questions in regard to our products or services. This instruction can be provided through training seminars and on-site engineering applications. These services provide important benefits, such as accident prevention which results in lower costs of doing business for our customers.

Customer Service

The phrase Customer Service at Crosby means more than just having the product available when you need it. Customer Service also means having a full time, knowledgeable District Sales Representative available to serve you. It also means having a well trained and fully equipped Customer Service Department, a broad product line offering, 3200 Authorized Crosby distributors worldwide, and a Technical Support Team second to none. Finally, Customer Service means having a management team dedicated to ensure the previously mentioned services run smoothly so that your needs are met.
