• For single leg lifts, the lifting point should be vertically above the
center of gravity of the load.
• For two leg lifts, the lifting points must be equidistant to or above the
center of gravity of the load.
Conditions for asymmetric lifts with 2, 3 or 4 legs
For unequally loaded chain legs we recommend that the Working Load
Limit is determined as follows:
• 2-leg slings calculated as the corresponding 1-leg sling.
• 3 and 4-leg slings calculated as the corresponding 1-leg sling*.
* (If 2 legs with full certainty are carrying the major part of the load, the
working load limit can be calculated as for the corresponding 2-leg sling.)
Extreme temperature conditions
Temperature (ºC)
-40º to 200ºC
Surface treatment
Note! Hot-dip galvanising or plating is not allowed without control from
the manufacturer.
Severe environments
Lifting points must not be used in alkaline (> pH10) or acidic conditions
(< pH6).
Regular comprehensive examinations must be carried out when used
in severe or corrosive environments. In uncertain situations consult your
Gunnebo Industries distributor.
Protect yourself and others
• Before each use, the lifting point should be checked for obvious
damage or deterioration.
• Know the weight of the load and its centre of gravity.
• Ensure the load is ready to move and that no obstacles will obstruct the
lifting.
• Check the conformity of the load with the Working Load Limit.
• Prepare the landing site.
• Never overload and avoid shock loading.
• Never use an improper configuration.
• Never use a worn or damaged lifting point.
• Do not ever ride on the load.
• Do not ever walk or stand under the suspended load.
• Take into consideration that the load may swing or rotate.
• Watch your feet and fingers while loading/unloading.
