Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LIFTALLOY from 3G Electric.
What is the chain grade of LIFTALLOY single-leg chain slings?
LIFTALLOY single-leg chain slings in the 3G Electric catalog are Grade-100. This indicates the chain is made from alloy steel and meets the strength requirements of that grade. Grade-100 chain is commonly used in overhead lifting applications where a higher strength-to-weight ratio is beneficial. The slings are marked with the grade and other required information. Users should verify the grade marking on the sling before use and follow the applicable standards, such as ASME B30.9 and OSHA 1910.184, for inspection and safe operation.
What hook type is included with LIFTALLOY Grade-100 single-leg chain slings?
The LIFTALLOY Grade-100 single-leg chain slings listed by 3G Electric include a grab hook. A grab hook is designed to attach directly to a load or to a master link, and it provides a secure connection for overhead lifting. The hook is made from alloy steel and is an integral part of the sling assembly. The specific hook configuration may vary by model, so buyers should refer to the product specifications and manufacturer part number to confirm the exact hook type and size.
What standards apply to LIFTALLOY chain slings?
LIFTALLOY chain slings are typically manufactured and tested in accordance with standards such as ASME B30.9, NACM, and OSHA 1910.184. These standards cover the design, marking, inspection, and safe use of slings. ASME B30.9 provides requirements for sling construction and rated capacity, while OSHA 1910.184 sets workplace safety regulations for slings. NACM publishes guidelines for chain and chain slings. Users should ensure that the sling is marked with the appropriate standard and that it is inspected and used according to those requirements.
