Chain Sling Manual: Parts, Configurations & Safety


Chain slings are critical for industrial lifting, but component quality determines safety. This guide covers G80/G100-rated master links, connecting links, and self-locking hooks, aligned with ASME and OSHA standards.

Various models of accessories are available for customized products, please contact us for details.


Chain Sling Components

1. G80/G100 Master Link

· Function: Connects sling legs to lifting devices (e.g., cranes).

· Material:

· G80: Heat-treated alloy steel for general industrial use (WLL up to 10T).

· G100: High-strength alloy for heavy-duty lifts (WLL up to 20T).

· Certification: ASME B30.26 proof-tested at 2× WLL.

2. Chain Legs

· Grades:

· G80: Standard alloy chains for general use.

· G100: Premium alloy for extreme loads.

· Safety Factor: 4:1 (WLL = 25% break strength).

3. G80/G100 Eye Self-Locking Hook

· Function: Secures loads with automatic latch locking.

· Safety Features:

· Forged Steel: Tested to 3× WLL.

· Self-Locking: Prevents accidental release during lifts.

· Applications: Steel beam rigging, machinery transport.

4. G80/G100 Connecting Link

· Powder coated, different color is available as per request.

· Working load limit permanently shown on the body.

· Max proof load is 2.5 times of the working load limited

· Min. Breaking strength is 4 times of the W.L.L.

5.G80/G100 Master Link Assembly

· Powder coafed, different color is available is per request.

· Working load limit permanently shown on the body.

· Max proof load is 2.5 times of the working load limited.

· Min. Breaking strength is 5 times of the W.L.L.

Safety Practices

00001. Pre-Use Inspection:

· Check master links for cracks or deformation.

· Verify self-locking hooks latch securely.

00002. Load Limits:

· Never exceed WLL (use ASME formula: WLL = Chain Strength / 4).

00003. Storage:

· Hang vertically in dry, non-corrosive environments.


Conclusion


G80/G100 chain sling components ensure safe, heavy-duty lifting when paired with proper configurations and inspections. Always prioritize certified parts and ASME/OSHA compliance. +86 18766656705
