*For slings loaded unbalanced, the following CMU should be taken: · 2-leg slings, calculate the CMU as if it were
of 1-leg slings. · Slings with 3 and 4 legs, calculate the CMU as if it were slings with 2 legs.
USE
1. Do not lift with a twisted chain. 2. Shorten chains only with shortening hooks. Knots should be avoided. 3. When handling loads with edges, sharp points or cutting edges, the chains must be protected with appropriate padding or padding. 4. Hooks should not grab loads with their ends, but with the inside. 5. Hooks not used during lifting must be attached to the main ring. 6. Make sure that the ring can move freely on the crane hook. 7. Replace damaged accessories as soon as they are detected. 8. Do not overload the chains, check that the angle inclination is respected and, if in doubt, always choose a larger chain.
Includes approval plate indicating the workloads. Available CE quality certificate
