• 10mm nominal chain diameter provides robust lifting capacity for industrial applications.
• Generous 6-metre effective working length (EWL) offers flexibility for various lifting scenarios.
• Certified Working Load Limit (WLL) of 5.5 tonnes, suitable for significant loads.
• Equipped with durable master link and robust clevis sling hooks for secure attachment.
• Individually proof tested to 2 times WLL and supplied with a serial number and test certificate.
• Designed and manufactured to comply with relevant Australian Standards for lifting equipment.

What does 'Double Leg' mean for this chain sling?
A 'Double Leg' chain sling features two individual lengths of chain connected to a single master link at the top. This configuration provides greater stability and control when lifting loads, especially those that are wider or require balanced support at two points.

What Australian Standards does this chain sling comply with?
This chain sling is manufactured to comply with relevant Australian Standards, typically AS 3775.1 for product specification and selection, and AS 3775.2 for care and use of chain slings. These standards ensure the sling meets strict requirements for design, manufacture, testing, and safe operation.

How often should a chain sling be inspected?
Chain slings must be inspected prior to and after each use by a competent person. Additionally, periodic inspections and records should be maintained by a competent person, with guidance for these inspections typically provided within Australian Standards like AS 3775.2.

Can this chain sling be repaired if damaged?
Unlike other sling types, alloy chain slings can often be repaired, re-tested, and returned to service after damage. However, any repairs must be carried out by a competent person or the manufacturer, using only original spare parts and in accordance with relevant standards. If any chain link within a leg needs replacement, the entire leg should generally be renewed.

What is the significance of the 5.5T WLL?
The 5.5-tonne Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum mass the chain sling is designed to lift safely under normal service conditions. It is derived from the chain's minimum breaking force divided by a safety factor, which for slings compliant with AS 3775.1 is typically 4:1. Always ensure the WLL is not exceeded.
