Product Configuration Code

• Q = Quad Leg

• O = Quad Oblong Master Link Assembly

• F = Forged Hook

QOF therefore refers to a Quad Leg Chain Sling fitted with a Quad Oblong Master Link Assembly on the top and Forged Hooks on the bottom.

Product Identification

Each sling is permanently identified with:

• Individual Serial Number

• Chain Size

• Chain Grade

• Exact Sling Length

• Working Load Limit (WLL)

The serial number on the identification tag corresponds with the production certificate and sales order record, ensuring complete product traceability throughout the product life cycle.

Typical Applications

• Heavy Machinery Handling

• Structural Steel Lifting

• Precast Concrete Installation

• Equipment Installation

• Mining Maintenance

• Industrial Material Handling

All chain slings are supplied with written certification and manufactured using matching Grade 80 components to ensure compatibility throughout the lifting assembly.

Continuous Sling

Working Load Limit (WLL) for an endless chain sling configuration.

0° < a < 45°
The angle between the sling leg and the vertical is between 0° and 45°.

45° < a < 60°
The angle between the sling leg and the vertical is between 45° and 60°.

Factor
The load multiplier used to calculate the Working Load Limit for different sling configurations and lifting angles.

a
The angle between the sling leg and the vertical line.

(ton)
All values are expressed in metric tons and represent the maximum Working Load Limit (WLL).

Design Factor 4:1
The minimum breaking force of the sling assembly is at least 4 times its Working Load Limit (WLL).

90 Degrees

The sling is lifting vertically with no sling angle reduction.

60 Degrees / 45 Degrees / 30 Degrees

The angle between each sling leg and the horizontal plane. As the angle decreases, the sling capacity decreases.

Load Factor

A multiplier used to calculate the Working Load Limit based on the number of sling legs and the lifting angle.

WLL Values (lbs)
The numbers shown in the table represent the maximum Working Load Limit in pounds for each chain diameter and sling configuration.

Example:
For a 1/2" chain sling:

• 1-Leg Sling = 12,000 lbs

• 2-Leg Sling at 60° = 20,800 lbs

• 2-Leg Sling at 45° = 17,000 lbs

• 2-Leg Sling at 30° = 12,000 lbs

• 3 & 4-Leg Sling at 60° = 31,200 lbs

• 3 & 4-Leg Sling at 45° = 25,500 lbs

• 3 & 4-Leg Sling at 30° = 18,000 lbs

Note: The lifting angle shown in this table is measured from the horizontal. Smaller angles result in higher tension in each sling leg and lower overall lifting capacity.

Name: Grade 80 QOF Chain Sling – Quad Leg w/ Quad Oblong Master Link on Top and Forged Hooks on Bottom

Testing Standards: Manufactured with a minimum design factor of 4:1. Each sling is proof tested, visually inspected, dimensionally verified, and checked for component compatibility before shipment. The chain complies with EN 818 fatigue requirements and successfully withstands 20,000 cycles at 1.5 times the Working Load Limit (WLL). Every sling is supplied with an individual serial number, identification tag, written certification, and full traceability records.

Application Standards: Suitable for overhead lifting, multi-point lifting, heavy machinery handling, structural steel erection, precast concrete installation, equipment installation, mining maintenance, and industrial material handling operations.

Maintenance Standards: Inspect before each use for chain elongation, excessive wear, cracks, corrosion, forged hook deformation, damaged master links, connecting links, and missing identification tags. Remove the sling from service immediately if defects exceed the applicable inspection criteria.
