Safety Hook
Think Gunnebo when selecting

lifting chain and components. Lifting
is our business. Gunnebo has
become known for quality, down
to the smallest component, as a
result of over 200 years experience, combined with systematic quality control and our own
research and development
laboratories.
Swivel hook
built with ball
bearings. Full
swivel action

Rear trigger release

provides easy to

Chain and components

are made from quenched and

tempered alloy steel. A guarantee
allows full prodfor very high strength, low weight,
uct traceability
high wear resistance and long life. All Gunnebo G8
components are uniformly marked with equivalent chain
size, grade and manufacturers designation for positive identification.
Quality to International Standards
All chain and every single component is

proof-loaded to a level that corresponds to 62% of
the minimum breaking load. Individual inspection
before delivery from our factories ensures high and
consistent quality.
Chain and components are tested to
destruction on a random sample basis from every
production batch. Minimum breaking force =
Maximum working load limit x Design Factor.
Full test data is documented. The prescribed
elongation for Gunnebo Grade 80 Alloy chain is
minimum 20%.
Additionally, finished products are subjected to

testing to ensure the correct hardness levels. Cyclical
loading tests are also carried out to simulate the fatigue
effects that would be expected over many years of use.
Chain and components carry identification marks
for full traceability back to the steel supplier for raw
material analysis.
Safety Put to the Test.

Tips for Chain Sling Assembly
1. Single Leg Sling:

If the required measurement falls in the middle of a link, the next link is cut.
2. Double Leg Sling
(when assembling a clevis system sling)
Cut chain to length and count the links. You must have an even number of links so hooks hang in the
correct plane. (Hooks should always point out, as shown in diagram.)
3. Triple or Quadruple Leg Sling
(when assembling a clevis system sling)
Cut chain to length and count the links. You must have an odd number of links so hooks hang in the
correct plane. (Hooks should always point out, as shown in diagram.) If the measurement falls in the
middle of a link, the next link is cut.
4. A metal I.D. Tag must always be attached to a chain sling, showing serial number, size, reach, rated capacity
at angle of lift and manufacturer.
5. The reach of the sling is the length measured from the load bearing surface of the master link to the load
bearing surface of the hook or lower terminal ( as shown in illustration).
6. Each sling manufactured shall have a completed certificate of test provided to user.

Never use a worn-out or damaged sling.
Never use a sling in extreme temperatures.
Never use a sling in acidic conditions.
Always comply with applicable Federal and local regulations

Federal and local regulations govern work site activity.
Understand all governing laws and safety standards before use
of chain slings. OSHA 1910.184 regulates chain sling safe
operating practices, product identification, inspection
requirements, and use limitations. ASME B30.9-1996 Sling
Safety Standard provides additional recommendations for chain
sling use.
If a particular standard is specifically applicable to a condition,
practice, means, method, operation, or process, it shall prevail
over any different general standard OSHA 1910.5(c)(1).
Call OSHA at (202) 523-3517 and ASME at (212) 705-7722 for
reference assistance.
Always know load weightAvoid sling failure.

The weight of the load shall be within the rated load of the
sling. ASME B30.9-1.9(b).
Weight of the load to be lifted must be known for determination
of proper sling configuration and working load limit.
Never use a sling without a legible identification tag

Sling Identification is required to ensure proper sling application.
Alloy steel chain slings shall have permanently affixed durable
identification stating size, grade, rated capacity, and reach. OSHA 1910.184 (e) (1)

Multi-Leg Sling WLL for non-symmetrical loading can

only be determined by engineering analysis of the
specific rigging condition. In the absence of an engineering analysis, WLL shall be equal to single leg sling
WLL given in TABLE 1.
Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum working

load for a specified working range. Sling working
range includes sling leg angles from 90 to a specified
minimum. The specified minimum working range
angle is given on the identification tag.
Choked endless chain sling WLL equals 80% of

TABLE 1 double leg sling WLL for corresponding leg
angle.
Working load is to be applied vertically to a sling

assembly having symmetric leg angles. WLL applies to
loads lifted vertically and does not include torsional,
binding, shock or non-symmetrical load effects.
Choked chain sling WLL is affected by choke angle.

TABLE 3 illustrates choke angle and gives choked WLLs
as a percentage of TABLE 1 WLL for full range of choke
angles.
Gunnebo Grade 80 Alloy Steel Chain Sling Working

Load Limits for selected working ranges of symmetric
sling leg angles are listed in pounds and given in
TABLE 1. No chain sling shall be rigged with a leg
angle less than 30 from the horizontal.
TABLE 3
Double Leg Sling WLL for an alternate working range

of symmetric sling leg angles equals (=) 2 * TABLE 1
single leg WLL * sine of the minimum working range
angle.

scaffold, would be more hazardous or is not

possible because of structural design or work site conditions. - OSHA 1926.550 (g) (2).
Slings shall not be loaded in excess of their rated

capacities. OSHA 1910.184 (c)(4).
Rated loads for alloy steel chain slings shall be based
on a minimum design factor of 4. ASME B30.9-1.2
Standard Gunnebo Working Load Limits (WLL) are
based on a 4 design factor. Lift dynamics, duty cycle
and hitch type may require an increased design factor,
hence a reduced WLL. Inattention to required design
factor can result in sling overload. Contact GunneboJohnson Service Department for assistance at (800)
331-5460.
Sling WLL depends on sling leg angle. The WLL for a
sling is reduced as the sling leg angle with the
horizontal gets smaller. This fact applies to all multi-leg
slings and must not be ignored.
The following diagram illustrates the effect of sling leg
angle on the WLL for a 2-leg sling.
The WLL of a sling with a 30 leg angle is 50% of the

WLL for the same sling with a 90 leg angle.
Inattention to the effect of sling leg angle can result in
sling overload.
Never ride on sling or loadAvoid death or injury.

Sling use regulation requires: All employees shall be
kept clear of loads about to be lifted and of
suspended loads. - OSHA 1910.184 (c) (9).
General work site regulations require No hoisting,
lowering, swinging or traveling shall be done while
anyone is on the load or hook assembly. - OSHA
1910.180 (h) (3) (v).
Construction work site regulation stipulates: The use
of a crane or derrick to hoist employees on a
personnel platform is prohibited. Except, when the
erection, use, and dismantling of conventional means
of reaching the work site, such as a personnel hoist,
ladder, stairway, aerial lift, elevating work platform or

Safe operating practices OSHA 1910.184 (c)
Operating practices ASME B30.9 1.9.
Sling leg angle shall not be less than 30 from the

horizontal.
Slings shall be shortened with a shortening hook

only, and not with knots or bolts or other makeshift
devices.
Sling legs shall not be kinked or twisted.
Sling hooks shall not be point loaded.
Sling hook latch may be mandatory by regulation,

safety codes, or insurance.
Slings used in a basket hitch shall have the loads

balanced to prevent slipping.
Slings shall be securely attached to their loads.
Slings shall be padded or protected from the sharp

edges of their loads.

Each day before being used, the sling and all
fastenings and attachments shall be inspected for damage or defects by a competent person
designated by the employer. Additional inspections shall be
performed during sling use where service conditions
warrant. Damaged or defective slings shall be immediately removed from service - OSHA 1910.184 (d).
In addition to the inspection required by paragraph
1910.184(d), a thorough periodic inspection shall be
made on a regular basis, to be determined on the basis
of (A) frequency of sling use; (B) severity of
service
conditions; (C) nature of lifts being made; and (D)
