Chain slings Grade 10 – GrabiQ

The GrabiQ chain sling system for coupling, shortening and lifting in Grade 10 is designed to improve and make your lifting as quick and easy as possible. GrabiQ has been designed to integrate multiple functions in each component. This means fewer components in each sling, but with the same and even better function.

Chain slings characteristics: 

  • The components are made from special quenched and tempered alloy steel, a guarantee for very high strength, low weight, high wear resistance and long life.
  • No product leaves the factories without being proof loaded and visually inspected.
  • All Lifting components are uniformly marked with equivalent chain size, grade, manufacture’s designation and name for positive identification.
  • Light weight for better ergonomics: Grade 10 material gives 25% added strength as well as lighter slings
  • Chain quality: based on EN 818-4:2008 WLL + 25%
  • Usage temperature: -40°C to 200°C
  • Safety factor: 4:1

Chain slings Grade 10 – Load capacity table

Safety factor 4:1. Below limits refer to normal usage and equally loaded sling legs.
An alternative method of rating may be used for a specific lifting application. It is essential that the WLL for each single component of the sling shall never be exceeded. For further information contact us.

Most commonly used chain slings

Chain slings grade 10 – Information for safe use:

Extreme Temperature Conditions

The in-service temperature effects the WLL of the chain slings as follows:
Upon return to normal temperature, the sling reverts to its full capacity within the above temperature range. Chain slings must not be used above or below these temperatures.

Asymmetric Loading Conditions

For unequally loaded chain legs we recommend that the WLL’s are 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 it is certain that 2-legs are equally carrying the major part of the load, it can be calculated as the corresponding 2-leg sling)

Using the Choke hitch

Where choke hitch is employed the WLL of the chain sling should be reduced by 20% (unless the LK choker hook is used). Reduce WLL of the chain by 20% where choke hitch is employed.

Using the shortening pocket

Home pocket loops must have an internal loop top angle of max. 30º.
Rule of thumb: Cross dimension of the load must be max. 0.3 times the loop length (LL):

Definition: The home pocket is the shortening pocket of the top component directly above the clevis to which the chain is connected.
