# .t enables the clamp to fit a big crane hook
.t prevents the weight of the crane hook releasing the clamp
.t allows a pair of plate clamps to connect to one crane hook

2. 3eferring to hori*ontal plate clamps! which statement is true'
"hey can be used in pairs with any sling of adeuate capacity
"hey must be used in pairs with a chain sling
# "hey must only be used in pairs with a sling giving the correct geometry
"hey must be used in pairs with an endless chain sling

9. &hat is the difference between hori*ontal plate clamps with toe and those with tongue and toe in
the way they grip the load'
# "hose with toe rely upon the inward force arising from the angle of the sling
"hose with a tongue do not need the sling to make an angle
"hose with toe are designed to hook into a fabrication rather than grip it
"here is no real difference
