CHAIN SLINGS

Mobile cranes, ideal for indoor use. The mobile jib crane can lift loads ranging from 150 kg to 500 kg with a radius of action of around two metres. The mobile jib crane can be moved by means of all-terrain wheels, which allow it to move on any type of ground. The most commonly used model is the mobile jib crane with a triangular boom with a hollow profile that adapts to workshop conditions.

Drum cranes are the most common cranes, especially in the industrial sector. This type of crane is designed to move very heavy loads of up to several tonnes. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. The jib crane is fixed with chemical anchors or with anchor rods and concrete blocks. The jib cranes are available with a triangular or inverted jib with a rotation range of 270° to 360° and a reach of up to 9 metres.

The wall-mounted jib cranes are equipped with a triangular or inverted jib, which reduces the headroom. The wall-mounted jib crane has the option of being motorised or manual with a 180° rotation. The wall-mounted jib cranes are suitable for individual use and avoid clutter in the work area. The lifting capacity of this type of jib crane ranges from 150kg to 4 tonnes with a standard reach of up to 8000mm.

To choose the right jib crane for your lifting application, you need to:

Know the environment in which you want to install your jib crane. This will allow you to choose between a fixed jib crane, a mobile jib crane or a wall-mounted jib crane.

Know the load you wish to lift with the crane. The weight will allow you to choose the necessary lifting capacity.

Know the maximum height and reach required to lift the load.

Know the type of jib crane you want : you can choose between an electric jib crane or a manual jib crane.

A design office is at your disposal to meet your lifting needs for your cranes and gantries. The design office will draw up an estimate according to your request. For further information, please contact our customer service.

Just like wire rope slings, we carefully manufacture chain slings in our lifting and handling workshops in France according to your diameter, length and number of strands of your choice. Chain slings are differentiated by their steel grade corresponding to their breaking strength, so there are grade 80, grade 100 and grade 120 slings.

The 80 grade chain sling is the most commonly used and least expensive. If you want slings with maximum lifting capacity, grade 100 and 120 slings are the best choice. Grade 120 slings have smaller diameter links and weigh 30% less than a grade 80 sling.

How to choose a chain sling?

To choose the right chain sling for your operation, you need to :

Know the type of chain sling you want according to its attachment points: 1 strand, 2 strands, 3 or 4 strands.

Know the maximum working load required to lift the load

Choose the type of hook or chain slings accessories to be fitted to the chain sling

Know the total working length of the lifting sling

You can also choose to add a shortening hook to your chain slings which allows you to adapt the length of the sling to your needs.

Our chain slings all have an identification plate with the CMU, the CE mark and the manufacturer's mark.

To avoid any risk of accident, please check your chain slings regularly by monitoring the condition of the links. If a link is deformed, cracked or has an elongation of more than 5%, we strongly advise you not to use your sling. We are able to inspect your chain slings in our workshop, please contact our inspection and repair department.
