Lifting Chain Sling

Grade ‘T' (8 / 80) Chain BS EN 818-2 Chain Suppliers : Grade 10 / 100 Available on request Our Grade T(8) Alloy Steel Chain is manufactured specifically for use in chain slings for lifting purposes. The chain is heat treated for tensile strength and resistance to wear whilst also allowing for shock absorption. The chain is easily identifiable with "MA8" embossed at metre intervals. Properties: Working Load Limited (W.L.L.) is the maximum load which chain or components are designed to sustain in lifting use. The mean stress at this load is 200n/mm2 (MPA) and is based on a factor of safety of 4:1. Manufacturing Proof Force (M.P.F.) is the force to which during manufacture chain or components are subjected. The mean stress at this load is 500n/mm2 (MPA) which is 2.5 times the working load limit. Minimum Breaking Load (M.B.L.) is the minimum force which chain or components must withstand before failure. The mean stress at this load is 800n/mm2 (MPA). The minimum elongation before failure is 20%. Instructions for the safe use of chain slings This document is issued in accordance with the requirements of Section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, amended March 1988. It outlines the care and safe use of general purpose CHAIN SLINGS and is based on Section 13 of the LEEA Code of Practice for the Safe Use of Lifting Equipment.* It should be read in conjunction with the requirements for general purpose slinging practice, given overleaf, which form an integral part of these instructions. This information is of a general nature only covering the main points for the safe use of chain slings. It may be necessary to supplement this information for specific applications.
