Available in Single (1-Leg), Double (2-Leg), Triple (3-Leg), and Quad (4-Leg) configurations.
Constructed from heat-treated Grade 80 alloy steel, offering superior durability and abrasion resistance.
Operating safely from -40°C to +200°C without reduction in Working Load Limit (WLL).
EN 818-4 • AS/NZS 3775 • ASME B30.9
The angle between legs is critical. As the angle increases, the stress on each leg increases. Ratings are typically based on a 90° included angle (45° from vertical).
Reach is measured from the upper bearing point of the master link to the lower bearing point of the hook. Shortening clutches allow for adjustable reach.
EN 818-4 - Safety Requirements for Lifting Accessories
The Machinery Directive stipulates that where chain with welded links is used for lifting accessories it is to be of short line type and for the purposes of this standard this is chain having a ratio of nominal pitch to nominal size of 3:1.
This European Standard specifies the requirements related to safety, methods of rating and testing of single-, two-, three-, four-leg and endless chain slings assembled by:
using short link grade 8 medium tolerance lifting chain conforming to EN 818-2 together with the appropriate range of components of the same grade.
