  • Causa
    During use, the bolt in the connection between the spreader bar and the lifting arm jig is subjected to mechanical forces, which may lead to breakage. this is due to the design of the connection between spreader bar and lifting arm jig, which in long term use can cause metal fatigue in this part and the formation of micro-cracks in the thread of the bolt. this issue is only related to tenor devices without scales.
