LASHING CHAINS

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.

Lashing chains allow you to secure your heavy load properly with their high strength links. Lashing chains can be supplied with latch hooks or shorteners to suit your lashing needs. Lashing hooks can be attached to one or both ends of the chain. You can also supplement your lashing chain with ratchet tensioners available on our website www.levagemanutention.com.

There are several types of lashing chains: short link lashing chains, which are mainly used on large material handling equipment, construction equipment or steel sections, and long link lashing chains, which are only used for timber transport.

Chain lashings must be able to counteract the forces applied to the cargo during transport, especially on trucks.

To ensure your safety, always inspect your lashing chain before each use. If the chain is deformed, cracked, worn or corroded, please do not use it. Levagemanutention.com offers a lashing chain inspection and repair service at our lifting and handling company. Lashing chains must be installed by professionals with good operating techniques.

As a reminder, before each departure, the driver must ensure that his lashing chain is correctly installed and that his load is properly secured.
