1 –INTRODUCTION

The Christie WCLW18TE Hydraulic Vertical Lifting Wedge is an aid for assisting with the lifting

and installation of plant and heavy equipment.

Access gap required: 9.5 mm (0.37”)

Lifting force: 10,000 psi (700 bar) = 18 T (180 kN)

2 –SAFETY INFORMATION

The operator MUST read this manual prior to using the tools.

Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings could cause equipment damage and

personal injury; read the manual fully!

Read all the following instructions, warnings and cautions carefully. Follow all safety precautions to

avoid personal injury or property damage during system operation.

W. Christie (Industrial) Limited cannot be responsible for damage or injury resulting from unsafe product

use, lack of maintenance or incorrect product and/or system operation. Contact W. Christie (Industrial)

Limited when in doubt as to the safety precautions and applications. To protect your warranty, use only

good quality hydraulic oil of the grade 32cSt.

Only people competent in the use of hydraulic equipment should use these tools.

In all installations the site safety requirements must be adhered to. ALSO the safety of the operator, and

when present, any assisting personnel, is of paramount importance along with the safety of others

including, when present, the general public.

These instructions are only to cover the safe operation of THE CHRISTIE WCLW18TE HYDRAULIC

VERTICAL LIFTING WEDGE during normal maintenance/installation operations. All other safety

aspects must be controlled by the operation supervisor.

A CAUTION is used to indicate correct operating or maintenance procedures and practices to

prevent damage to, or destruction of equipment or other property.

A WARNING indicates a potential danger that requires correct procedures or practices to avoid

personal injury.

A DANGER is only used when your action or lack of action may cause serious injury or even

death.

IMPORTANT: Operator must be competent in

the use of hydraulic equipment. The operator

must have read and understood all instructions,

safety issues, cautions and warnings before

starting to operate the Christie equipment.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury and

possible equipment damage, make sure all

hydraulic components are rated to a safe

working pressure of 700 bar (10,000 psi)

WARNING: Do not overload equipment.

Overloading causes equipment failure and

possible personal injury. The risk of

overloading can be avoided by using the

Christie Hand Pump, which has its safety valve

set to 700 bar by the factory. If alternative

pumps are used, ensure they are rated at a safe

working pressure of 700 bar (10,000 psi).

CAUTION: Make sure that all system

components are protected from external sources

of damage, such as excessive heat, flame,

moving machine parts, sharp edges and

corrosive chemicals.

CAUTION: Avoid sharp bends and kinks that

will cause severe back-up pressure in hoses.

Bends and kinks lead to premature hose failure.

Do not drop heavy objects onto hoses. A sharp

impact may cause internal damage to hose wire

strands; applying pressure to a damaged hose

may cause it to rupture. Do not place heavy

weights on the hoses, or allow vehicles to roll

over the hoses; crush damage will lead to

premature hose failure.

WARNING: Immediately replace worn or

damaged parts with genuine Christie parts.

Christie parts are designed to fit properly and

withstand rated loads. For repair or maintenance

service contact W. Christie (Industrial) Limited

DANGER: To avoid personal injury keep hands

and feet way from the tool and workpiece during

operation.

WARNING: Always wear suitable clothing and

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

DANGER: Do not handle pressurised hoses.

Escaping oil under pressure can penetrate the

skin, causing serious injury. If oil is injected

under the skin, seek medical attention

immediately.

WARNING: Never pressurize unconnected

couplers. Only use hydraulic equipment in a

connected system.

IMPORTANT: Do not lift hydraulic equipment

by the hoses or couplers. Use the carrying handle

or other means of safe transport.

CAUTION: Do not operate the equipment

without lubricating all moving parts as in section

7. Use only high pressure molybdenum

disulphide grease.

4 –TECHNICAL DATA

The CHRISTIE WCLW18TE Hydraulic Vertical Lifting Wedge will generate 18 Tons (180 kN) lifting

force from 10,000 psi (700 bar) of hydraulic pressure. The tool requires a minimum access gap of 9.5 mm

(0.37”) on the first step and will lift vertically.

Using two WCLW18TE wedges will allow a lift of 36 Tons

Using four WCLW18TE wedges will allow a lift of 72 Tons

5 –HOW THE TOOL WORKS

1) The hydraulic hose and hand pump are attached to the tool

and the tool is inserted into the access gap

2) The hand pump is primed which powers the hydraulics

that lift the load

3) The load is secured using the safety block

6 –INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

6.1 STANDARD INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

The operation procedure is exactly the same for both the WCLW18TE Mini and Standard Kits. The

WCLW18TE Mini Kit does not contain either a 10,000 psi (700 bar) hydraulic hand pump or a 10,000 psi

(700 bar ) hydraulic hose. These items will come from the user’s inventory.

1) Assemble the kit by connecting one end of the

hydraulic hose to the hand pump, and the other end

to the hydraulic cylinder.

2) Ensure the access gap under the item to be lifted

measures 9.5 mm (0.37”) or greater.

3) Place the wedge under the item to be lifted. The step

to be used must be fully inserted into the access gap

- ensure that the heel of the step is in contact with

the outer surface of the object to be lifted and that

the wedge is positioned centrally.

4) Close the return valve on the hand pump (by turning

clockwise) and advance the wedge by priming the

pump.

N.B. The HP350S Hand Pump has a self contained non-vented

oil system. This means that the pump will function without the

need for an air vent to be opened. This allows the pump to be

used vertically, horizontally or upsides down should the

situation require. Having no open vent eliminates the risk of

hydraulic oil spillage during use.

5) Once the item has been lifted to the desired height, or to the

maximum height on the step used, the safety block should

be inserted into the gap. Secure the load by releasing the

pressure onto the block.

6) If required, the wedge should then be re-inserted on the next step and steps 3 - 5 repeated to lift

the item further.

Never place fingers under an item being lifted. Always ensure that both the wedge and

the safety block are inserted under the item until the heel of the step is in contact with

the side of the item to be lifted and the step is positioned centrally (see Installation and

Operation step 3)

Care should be taken not to drop any of the component parts when removing them from

the lifted load. This action will prevent injuries to either the operator’s lower limbs, or to

passers by.

6.2 –USING THE STEPPED BLOCK ASSEMBLY

The Christie Stepped Block enables the WCLW18TE Hydraulic Vertical Lifting Wedge to be used to lift

an item with a larger gap, and will lift the item further with less penetration

1) Attach the stepped block to the tool using the M6

countersunk screw.

2) Insert the tool under the item to be lifted. Ensure

there is a minimum hold of 15 mm (0.59”) and that

the full width of the block is used.

7 –EXAMINATION, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

On return from each job and before allocation against subsequent work the completeness of the

Christie WCLW18TE kit must be established and items examined to ensure that they are

serviceable.

Any missing or damaged items are to be replaced as soon as possible and prior to the tool being

used again.

Store the tool in a cool dry place and ensure all machined surfaces are greased

Grease all moving parts each and every time the tool is used:

Greasing the wedge:

Remove the grease nipple from the handle of the tool

Screw the grease nipple into the jaw, attach the grease gun

and squeeze grease into the wedge

Screw the grease nipple into the base of the tool, attach the

grease gun and squeeze grease into the wedge

Connect the hose to the wedge and advance the wedge

forward, smear grease onto the surfaces of the wedge

Greasing the slide pins:

Simply smear some grease into the slots. Also

ensure the slide pins are free from grit.
