SITEMA now offers a special Lloyd’s certified SITEMA-Locking type KFHL which has been developed to satisfy the particular requirements for clamping units in maritime applications .

Design measures have been adopted to ensure equipment is able to function safely, even under the difficult conditions experienced, for example, on the open sea.
For example, the complete clamping system has been thoroughly adapted, both in terms of the materials used and the special housing designed to provide protection against any hazards associated with incoming sea water. Other measures include the use of special materials for the housing and seals, as well as the use of special coatings.

SITEMA has placed particular emphasis on ensuring an adequate safety margin in terms of achievable clamping forces.
As such, the SITEMA – Locking Unit KFHL makes a clear distinction between „admissible load“ and „holding force“. The admissible load in kN denotes the actual maximum load that can be applied to a SITEMA – Locking Unit KFHL. The actual holding force is twice as high and equates to the margin required by Lloyd’s Register EMEA for the purposes of personal safety.
