Specification
Only chain fully compliant with all aspects of EN818-2 can be used in chain slings certified to EN818-4.
Grade 8 lifting chain is proof load tested to 2.5 times working load limit.
Suitable for use in a temperature range of -40C up to 200C without reduction in working load limit, reductions apply up to 400C.
As with all lifting equipment, Chain Slings should be inspected by a responsible person before each period of use. If a defect is found the chain sling should be returned to your local distributor where a competent person will repair the sling.
Chain Slings are classified as a “lifting accessory” and are covered by LOLER. As such all chain slings should be thoroughly examined by a competent person at periods not exceeding 6 months.
Chain Slings should not be used unless they are accompanied by a valid declaration of conformity or a certificate of thorough examination.
