When selecting a chain sling
you can follow these simple steps:
•Determine the maximum load to be lifted by the
sling assembly.
•Choose the type of sling assembly suited for
the shape of the load and the size of the sling assembly
for the load to be lifted. The decision must take
into account the angle of the sling legs in multileg
slings.
• Determine the overall reach for bearing point
of master link to bearing point on hook.
Caution:
•Derate
chain in accordance with working load limit chart
shown above.
• A chain grab hook application will result in
20% reduction of chain capacity.
• Care should be taken to observe these derated
applications or chain may fracture or permanently
stretch at loads less than the advertised chain ultimate
strength and proof load respectively
