The clevis hook lifting chain assemblies for 16mm and 20mm chain slings are illustrated below. The chains, clevis hook, shorteners and lugs are all individually tested and then the whole sling is tested and certified. They should never be welded in any way and should be replaced if there is any sign of distortion, excessive wear or damage. Shorteners are included in chain slings where the unit is capable of stacking containers two high. Instructions for their use are in the section Chain Shortening Instructions.
|
Never switch chains from one machine to another as they may vary between one Sidelifter and another in length and size. |
Chains should be proof tested annually. Steelbro recommends that the inspection certificates supplied be retained for history.
