1. Determine the maximum load to be lifted.
2. Choose the proper type of chain sling (single, double, etc.) dictated by the size, shape and weight of the load.
3. Estimate the approximate angle between a leg of the sling
and the load during operation.
4. Select the proper attachments (hooks and master links)
for your chain sling.
5. Determine the overall reach from bearing point on master link to bearing point on attachment.
6. Choose the chain size which meets your requirements.
Note: Angle to the load on multiple leg slings will be 60 degrees
or greater as long as the distance between lifting eyes of load
is not greater than reach shown on identification tag. |
