Lifting – useful information
Safe working loads
The safe working load is the maximum load to which the chain and accessories can be subject during use. The ratio between breaking load and safe working load is 4:1.
Identification
The chain is identified by a series of markings: the initials indicate the manufacturer and grade of resistance (G8 or G10). Components are identified by the safe working load in tons and EC marking.
Warnings
The safe working load is not valid if any of the following factors occur:
- twisting
- deterioration due to wear and corrosion
- jerking of loads
- permanent deformations due to overloading or due to use at temperatures exceeding 200°
- inclination angle exceeding the one prescribed
- different use from those to which chain is destined
Advices
- protect the chain on sharp edges
- do not sling the load off centre
High resistance, long-link chains are also available to secure containers.
