KITO Chain Sling 100, Assembly Manual

4

■　

 Based on the working load limit, angle of loading and type, select the chain diameter from “Table 1. 

Slinging Methods and Working Load Limits”.

■　

 In case of the following working conditions, reduce the working load limit to 80% to use the chain sling.

1. Work that is carried out with high frequency or when the working load is applied continuously

2. Work in which vibration is applied continuously

3. Usage by incorporation in an automatic line

■　

High-temperature work is subject to thermal effect, reducing the working load. Seeing “Table 2. Working 

Load Limits due to Temperature”, take a reduction rate into account to select a chain diameter.

  Overload is strictly prohibited. Check whether the sufficient working load 

limit and chain diameter have been selected with respect to the actual load, 

considering the working conditions, working environment, etc.

◎

For slinging methods that have a “ 

* 

” mark, in situations where the chain is used by hooking on a grab hook (in order to adjust the length, etc.) the working load limits become 

70% of the values shown in the above table. For slinging methods that do not have a “ 

* 

” mark, no load reduction is required.

◎

The bold-faced numerical values in the tables are exclusive values for “When using the Large Master Link HMG/HMH” and “When using the Master Link HMF with Sub Links” 

respectively.
