Industrial Applications of Single Leg Chain Sling

1. Industrial Applications of Single Leg Chain Sling justpaste.it/2uaue Introduction The application of Single Leg Chain Sling in the manufacturing and processing industries is for the rigging of small to medium and large size loads within the manufacturing unit. The length between the main ring and the load can vary, depending on the dimension and weight of the load. Rated Load Testing – Evaluation of Efficiency If the Single Leg Chain Sling has a master link on both ends, the rated capacity will be relatively higher due to the enhanced strength and stability. Similarly, the rated capacity may vary depending on whether the two ends of the chain are Link and sling hook Link and grab hook Grab a hook and grab hook Grab-hook and sling hook The service engineer can test the load capacity after a complete inspection of structural integrity and dimensional parameters for ensuring safety. Design factor of the chain is the second most important factor that determines its efficiency and load-carrying capacity. After the initial load testing, it is possible to start using the chain sling within the manufacturing unit within the maximum load limits. Evaluation of tolerance factor is very important because it can ensure extra load capacity without compromising on the efficiency and safety factors. Chain Length and Link Diameter – Working Load Limit The chain grade, size, and diameter are three parameters that can affect the efficiency of Single Leg Chain Sling. The grade can vary from 30 to 80, depending on the load capacity requirement. Sling with a grading of 80 can lift higher capacity loads while the lower grade slings can be useful for rigging lighter loads. The other important factors that play important roles in determining the strength and performance efficiency are Exterior and the interior diameter of links Inner width and length Chain length 1/3

2. Number of sub-links It is possible to increase the working load limits by customizing the above-listed parameters of Single Leg Chain Sling. However, they have to be done by a qualified mechanical engineer, preferably from the OEM who has supplied the sling. Hook and Latch Capacity – Technical Specifications Analyzing the working capacity of the hook and latch can determine the overall working capacity of the sling. Dimensions of chain including the length and diameter are very important factors that determine the efficiency factors. Attachment of hook and latch to the load and the chain is a very important factor that determines its efficiency. The service engineer has to ensure the type of connection with the chain is secure with a safety latch. It has to carry the load as well as balance its centre of gravity along the chain length from the top to the bottom end of the load. 2/3

3. The single sling can work many types of hooks that include sling and grab types. The sling type requires the application of lugs while the grab type is essentially lug-less. Attachment of lug pins is very important at the right positions to ensure maximum safety and security while rigging the load. Conclusion The Single Leg Chain Sling application areas vary from production, processing, engineering, and manufacturing units to the construction companies, based on the load type and capacity of the sling. You can choose the slings after evaluation and testing of load parameters in detail. 3/3
